Excellent hostel, set in the centre of Wellington”
Great hostel - clean, comfortable, a well equipped kitchen, plus plenty of shower/toilet facilities. We had a private double room with its own bathroom facilities, which we were most pleased with and considered it excellent value for money. The staff were extremely helpful; while the location is in the centre of Wellington and only 50 metres of so from the bus stop to/from the Airport. Would certainly recommend to any traveller staying in Wellington.

Great Value, Location & Clean”
Cool to stay at a Real Old Timey Hotel. The Good: Hotel is Cool, Clean, and well situated in the City. Even has a Bar under. The Bad: Receptionist is only there until the evening, yet no reception after hours The Ugly: Restroom is down the Hall for both Men and Women. Could have been a touch more cleanly. Planning on staying again.

Nice hotel in good location”
We stayed two nights in one of the small private rooms with shared bathroom. The hotel has a lot of character, operating since 1883, although it's also a bit dingy in parts. The room itself was nice, clean, and a good mattress. The shared kitchen is a little small but does the job. Staff were very friendly.

Good value for money”
It was a pleasant stay. room was nice and shared bathroom had some nice tiles and was clean. The receptionist was very friendly. only issue I had was the heat in the room was rather unconfutable and I had to open the window and deal with the outside noise . apart from that, excellent stay I would definitely recommend

Budget but great location”
Good sized room and surfaces and bedding clean but cobwebs on walls and paint peeling in one corner. Corridors smelt musty but room was fine - this is a very old (historic) building and it did show. However staff were great and fantastic location at budget price so not complaining.

Great location. Close to restaurants Te Papa, and Oriental beach. Cuba Street is four blocks away. Old hotel with antique elevator. It was clean and comfortable and the staff were helpful. We arrived in Wellington for the holidays and everything around the railway and parliament was closed. When we moved here it was so much better. I would stay here again.

A traditional kiwi style hotel”
Fair enough for the cost of staying in a historical kiwi style hotel. The pub in the basement was easy to access to have some taps and dinner with a customer discount. Great hotel.

The Cambridge - a reliable budget option”
The Cambridge is a tired old hotel that offers cheap clean rooms close to Courtney Place. It's not the prettiest accommodation I've stayed in, but it is reliable and safe. I've stayed there on four occasions and it's always the cheapest option for a private room in Wellington central.

I got what I paid for- it was fine.”
It’s clean and tidy, no frills, with an old worldy feel, some may call that tired, but I felt it was value for money, good location, comfortable bed.

The stove is a bit slow for cooking, besides that all others are well equipped. The staffs are really nice.

Great location”
A very good location in town centre. We took the quadruple room with bathroom but unfortunately our shower wasn't very good as the water temperature kept fluctuating from warm to very hot. Not much space for luggage.
