We had a private room and used the shared bathrooms. Everything was clean, our room was basic but more spacious than we expected. Staff was friendly and helpful, yet most things we needed were automated (like check in/ out). The location is SUPERB! We could walk to “Eat street” and Kuirau Park is across the street, uber rides were readily available, and the InterCity bus stop was a few blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.

For a hostel, Haka house is pretty good. One thing maybe for improvement is the bath map….. not really hygienic. Maybe one guest should be given one or not providing at all. The staff

Great room. Good for what we needed it for. Unfortunately there was some male sports team staying there also and were extremely loud. The walls a very very thin. But overall it was an ok experience. Would go there again. Loved seeing all the tourists!

Great place for a cheaper option. The doors were very noisy on the first night as they closed at each time someone went though but that would be the only downside of the property. Room was very clean and modern

8/10 Very good

Great apart from the cleaning

The bed was comfy, great privacy with the curtains and sturdy built beds. Cozy warm room, lots of showers etc. large kitchen, dining area, TV sofa section. Negatives: I was there for 4 days and they did not clean the room once, mugs left from previous people and a dirty carpet that needed a vacuum, not good. Some of the staff were approachable and friendly, others really weren't and just took over the shared spaces at night, mainly talking over the films in the TV area, so odd when there's other places to sit.
