Sleeping In A Oven!
The upside was that the place was quite clean.
The room was unbelievably hot, like 40 oC hot. No AC. No Fan. Nothing to move any air. We tried to put a chair in the door and open the window, but you can imagine how great that was for sleeping.
Great accommodation in a brilliant location. Clean and very modern.
The only problem is the walls are paper thin. We had an issue with a noisy guest. Chris from reception
came up immediately and dealt with the problem.
We enjoyed our stay.

Prime location
Great location right by waterfront in city. The bathroom on our floor wasn’t particularly clean. Other than that it was a good stay.

Basic but very clean & great rooms.
Bathrooms & showers adequate - 1x shower head broken.
A good place to stay. Great location in central Wellington. Easy walking distance to city venues. Bus stops handy. Nice clean room ; good shower. We even had a view of the harbour.
We will be back.
Thank you :)

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No parking , elevator was broken our room was on the 6th floor, this is a kids hotel not meant for adults - help did offer to help carry luggage to the 6th floor we couldn’t leave there
I just needed a place that was central city for one night. The room was wonderful, the locaation was perfect and the cost was fantastic. Even with so many people and rooms it was actually very quiet when i was in my room.
I’ve stayed at other Haka Houses and this one didn’t match up to my previous experiences. To be fair, they have a significantly larger facility with a lot of guests but the overall cleanliness and friendliness of staff was lower than previous experiences.
Great value for money. Front desk team super friendly, housekeeping could make some improvements...
Id definitely stay again. Though I may up grade to an ensuite next time, just for the convenience.
Cheers team.
