I had a good stay. The staff was friendly. The hostel is well located and the room was warm and nice. But as seems to be the problem in other Haka Houses, the corridor, bathroom and lounge were freezing.

Cute little room - a little small but that was to be expected. Bathrooms and room were clean, and there was a sauna and laundry facilities too. Loved our stay here!

Great place to stay overnight. Many dining options very close. A bit noisy until 10pm, then quiet, so no complaints.

Get what you pay for.
Our twin room with ensuite room was clean and tidy. Bathroom space was not utilised and did not provide shelf/counter space or hooks for two. The kitchen was atrociously out of date in comparison to the rest of the place, which was clean and pleasantly decorated. Large communal area was cold, asked to have the big gas fire place turned on when 2bus loads of extra people arrived - an oil heater was added to the communal area.

Beds were comfortable, quiet at night. We had workmen making building noise (banging, drilling) outside our room for both afternoons, which was really annoying and hopeless given the cost of the room. Overall, clean and well run, weird having to put our sheets out with the room cost!

Great location and hostel has huge potential to be so nice.. rooms and bathrooms were clean on arrival but unfortunately they are severely understaffed and can see the affects after a day or two (no toilet paper and kitchen/bathrooms are disgusting). Not a reflection on current staff who were very nice but something management needs to look at.
