Great location. Very central.
We were in the bottom of a house and the noise from the level above was like they were moving furniture most of the night. Not great

The room was exactly what it said it was.. I've always wanted to experience a bed I'm a dormitory .. Unfortunately I didn't end up staying lol I couldn't bring myself together that i was sharing the room with other people hahaha even though I knew that's what I was paying for .. the reception girl was lovely the rooms where cool.. it just wasn't me.. maybe if i was with other friends I would have stayed there.
That it was full with a whole school or sports club lol but it's to be expected

Poor
The location is great.
This was unfortunately the most disappointing stay during our two-week trip across both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. We had stayed at other Haka House branches, Tekapo and Franz Josef, and had wonderful experiences there, so we had high expectations for this one. Sadly, it didn’t meet the same standard. There is no elevator, which made things quite difficult for travelers with large suitcases or elderly guests. The room was not clean, we found black dust on the bed and a vape left under the pillow from the previous guest. The heater didn’t warm up the room properly, and the bed stayed cold throughout the night. The shower took a long time to heat up, and the kitchen was dirty and poorly maintained. During our stay, a group of teenage boys, likely on a school trip, made the place very noisy and chaotic. They also hung their clothes along the hallways, creating a messy and uncomfortable atmosphere.
