This place is nice! It's clean and handy! Quite good place! But the staff need to know how to arrange the guests. I got a C card. However, when I got my home my bed had been taken by others. Very bad feeling! Other things are OK.

I had sent an email prior to arrival about parking and bedding and nobody responded when we arrived all the parking was taken and it cost an extra $30 for parking down the street.
It didnt feel overly clean and the shower was cold water in the morning.

I had a quick overnight after 2 very long travel days without much sleep. I arrived in the CBD at 8am and was able to store my luggage in order to explore the city before check-in. I booked a private room to get some rest before travelling on and it was excellent. The bed was clean and comfy, and the window opened for fresh air. Although the room was right off the kitchen, it was quiet after 9pm and through the night.
The location was fabulous, just a short walk to Cuba street and all the funky shops and cafes. I even walked to the harbour and to the Botanic gardens.
I didn’t do any cooking, but I really appreciated the hot water on demand for my tea! The staff were great. The property and rooms are “well used” and could use some freshening up, but bathrooms were cleaned regularly. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you.

Like many, stayed a bit longer than planned

Incredibly helpful and genuine staff who were always happy to help - very knowledgeable about the area and always on hand to answer questions.

Nice schedule of events each evening (which isnt for me but was again very welcome and i can really see how some guests would really appreciate it.

Slight disparity of kitchen facilities available when comparing ground floor to others. Cant be helped though - i imagine things get moved all the time.

All in all, a great stay for the price for which you do get more than you pay for in terms of assistance and a nice communal hub

I want to say I loved my stay, but because the property was in the midst of painting the walls on our floor, it was not great. Lots of noise (at 4am from the kitchen by our room), lots of dust and paint fumes, tripping hazards where tarp had come up. Yeah, not great. BUT, of the four front desk people we talked to three were absolute stars. Very helpful. Very friendly. I think I'll come back to see what the renovation does for the place. It's got good bones and great people and it's in a really convenient location. I'll be back.

Trek global is an awesome backpacker facility.
I experienced good hospitality and housekeeping.

A special mentioning about Sharon ( receptionist, she was in the morning shift on 19th July ) she is a great asset to your company as she has amazing customer service skills and I have observed that she and the other guy in the reception attends all the guests with patience and take extra efforts to help the needy ones in the city !!

Kindly use this email for your appraisal, recognise and for rewarding the deserving staff.

PS: is there a way to make rooms more ventilated ,, with four people in a room it’s difficult to breath in the night !! :-)

This place is fine overall for the price you pay so can't be to critical
Quite difficult to find a room on your own even if you don't mind paying for it
Was slightly disappointed to take a room that was actually cheaper than the room I originally payed for with the assurance no one else would be in there to come back and find someone else sleeping in another bed

Friendly staff, great location but very noisy, dirty bathrooms and kitchens.

Booked Trek Global because they have very good reviews (and very limited choices over Easter break). We thought we had private bathroom but didn’t.

We concerned about the noise once we got into our room, spoke to staff and they assured us that no noise policy after 11 pm. That’s not true!

Stayed for 2 nights and got woken up at 1.30 am the first night and 2.30 am at the second - both from hostel gusts at the kitchen area and outside. We could hear every single detail of the backpackers’ embarrassing conversations. No sleep at all!!!

The worst part - went to kitchen and asked them to keep noise down, got extremely rude and aggressively response.

Bathrooms were smelly and very dirty kitchen. We chose to stay away as much as possible.

In all, not a pleasant stay for us at all! But, I think you will have fun if you got woken up at night, happily join in their conversations instead of asking them to shut up at 2am.

Place was fairly comfortable, but my room was a twin bunk room behind the kitchen and the laundry and was fairly noisy until pretty late. Also, it had an ensuite but the sink was very tiny. The shower was good, but there was no bath mat. Parking was available but it was $25 a day which some say is a good price for central Wellington. If you don't mind a 20 minute walk, you can buy a coupon to park along Oriental Parade all day for only $8.50.

A great, central location. Clean room and public areas. Bit frustrating that's there were only 3 showers and toilets on the floor for a lot of people -the toilet and showers are in the same cubicle some if you need to use either there can be quite a wait. Our double room had an extra single bunk aboveboard that was unnecessary. Kettle on room was great. Good wifi. Good parking. Would stay again.

With all the hotels in town booked, this was the only reasonable choice for accommodation for a last-minute business trip. I haven't stayed at a hostel in about 10 years, and the experience was much the same as then.
