About time for a major overhaul. The only reason I stayed there was because of the proximity to the bus departures
Peter
All good.
David
The single room with ensuite I booked was clean and perfectly adequate for a short overnight stay. The building is very old so there is no soundproofing from the windows and the hotel can be quite noisy at times during the night. Overall, good value for money considering it's central location
Emma Elizabeth Jean
Great place and welcoming staff! Thanks so much - can’t wait to see the upgrades.
Elaine
The room was very comfortable and clean and everything that I needed Many thanks
Jessica
Clean and tidy and great value for money but was placed behind the lifts so a bit noisy. There was also second hand smoke wafting from somewhere into my room so I’m guessing someone was hanging out their window….
Not ideal!

Happy with the room. Was just what a needed after a big trip.
Tahari
Old but did the job for me. In the city, right opposite train station so pretty convenient if that’s where you want to be. Ensuite bathroom was clean enough. Sink is a bit tiny so awkward to fill jug up for hot drink but manageable enough. Was able to get a park outside on street which is free from 8pm to 8am the next day so that was good.
Shreeti
Washroom was not clean
Sanjina
No hotel parking available. Had to park on the street which got expensive. Hotel is really old. Bed sheets were dirty. When i took off the bad cover, i could see someones fallen hair on the white sheets. I knew it probably not been changed after the previous visitor checked out. The room didnt had any hair dryers, iron, fan or even heaters. Thank god they had heaters on the shower.
Don't expect to see anything outside the windows. You will only see the walls and windows on other buildings. The room i stayed in, i could see the staffs of Datacom working on their desktops from the big windows.
The reception staff was good and responsive. The first room she checked me in had the window lock broken. I requested to change the room and she gave me another room.
I have stayed in other cheap hotels/motels before. They were pretty well maintained. Giving cheap rates doesnt mean you give trash experience to your client. I think i paid 80 or 90 NZD for 1 night.

Decently clean with nice staff, but basically no amenities beyond the basics. Also there was no table so you'll either have to eat in the air or on the floor.
Xinmiao
yes
Kara
Needed a cheap place to sleep for a night sleep. Bed was comfortable and room was clean but pipes were loud and could hear noise from other rooms most of the night. Good for price though.
Elizabeth
Shops near by , convenient to access bus trains andships
Sue
Not used
Naomi
Great location. Exactly what I needed for one night
Natalia
The hotel is located across the street from both the Train station and the Ferry Terminal making it very convenient if you have to take an early train or have a late ferry arriving into Wellington. The cleaniness leaves a lot to be desired. Our bathroom was filthy (specially the bathtub). We were so tired that we only used the sink to wash our face & hands. the toilet was OK. The room itselft was good too however one of the window panes were broken. I'm not sure if I'd go back again to this property.
michael
The photos did not reflect the room, which was unrenovated, grubby and the bathroom in dire need if an update. I wouldn't have booked this if the correct photos would have been presented. Not impressed with this booking.
Karen
The staff was very accommodating and it suited us being close to railway station. Room was clean and confirtable
Harry
I’ve stayed in this hotel several times in the past 15 years. Each time the hotel seems more run down than the previous time. Staff: I ride motorbikes and years ago was allowed to park in the alleyway down the side of the hotel. Upon asking this time, the helpful girl at check in told me she would ask if that was possible and in the meantime to park my motorbike in the lobby. I thought this was odd but as I was invited to do so, I did so and incurred the misplaced wrath of the manager, Dan Jones. Although I didn’t want to get the staff in trouble, I didn’t appreciate being put in that position and the counter staff need training. The room had a blown lightbulb over the bed which I ended up changing myself (2 minutes work for a staff member that cares) and the shower insisted on pure hot water for 15 minutes without any cold coming through. Not really sure what that was about. The rail that the shower head clips to was falling apart. It seems things are not being repaired at this hotel and I won’t be staying there again as prices aren’t competitive when you have to factor in a $30 fee for overnight parking and walking 4 blocks to the carpark.
Alan
Perfect
Lisa
Excellent location, will stay again if in Wellington
Elaine
Great location. Secure room. Room was clean even though some aspects dated - carpet buckled. Window in bathroom could not close - was tied in place with a shoelace. When a cold wind was blowing, the bathroom was very cold.
Rhonda
The room reflected the price, perfectly satisfactory
Gwynell
Across road from railway sation. Clean well presented. En suite good.
Jeff
Good basic place to stay. Handy to train and ferry terminals plus airport bus.
Harry
Friendly and helpful staff; good common room/ lounge; other amenities suitable.
James
clean room, affordable price.

Great staff , great room
CLAIRE
This rating is based on the balance of price and amenities. The room and ensuite were clean, if a little tired. The WiFi was not 100% reliable. I appreciated the tea/coffee facilities in the room. I did not make use of the communal areas. Very conveniently located for the train station and Bluebridge Ferry to Picton.
Neil
Clean room, friendly staff and kitchen and common area.
Natkrita
The lady staff is really helpful and kind.
Kitchen is clean and tidy compared to the age of building.

Two bedrooms share a toilet and bath room in a separate corner. My bedroom has a sink with two faucets, with hot and cold water.
Douglas
Elevators were a trip to ride. Very conveniently located across from the main rail station. Water was blisteringly hot, beds were comfortable enough for a good night’s nap.
Jane
Room was perfect, quiet, clean, simple. Great value for money. Will book again.
Anthony
Clean, comfortable and close to train and ferry. The Gastro Pub attached/in the Hostel serves very good food in good portions. Enjoyable again.
Kathryn
We were able to check in late (our boat docked at 1am) felt save with a buzzer entry. Room was basic but fine. Windows were okd so a fair bit of street noise was present all night
Carol
A bit run down but suitable for cheap, one night stop over.
Gurpreet
Hotel rooms are not the same that are shown in photos it’s a old rooms with dirty smell, no trolly at reception to carry bags to room. No parking for cars available on site. Everthing is fake photos that are shown when we are booking on site. Windows are single glass old frame to much noise can’t sleep with kids. Overall i thought expedia is a good site to book good hotels but i thought i am not using expedia in future for booking.
Paul
For the price, it was good. Very old building with single pane windows, in a windy city like Wellington, you can really feel the draft in some places.
Overall however I would stay in a private room here again.

Clean room with broken window so very cold. In need of an update. Staff all friendly and helpful. Great location. Fridge and microwave and kettle in room plus shared kitchen
Elise
The room was very clean and well laid out. The cleaning staff that I bumped into in the hall were so lovely.
I wouldn’t recommend this place for someone that is a light-sleeper - as the building is very old, the sound proofing on the windows is non-existent so you can hear everything from the road below.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers. The place felt welcoming from the start. Solid facilities, and genuinely warm, attentive staff all contributed to a relaxed and pleasant experience.
anish
Do not stay here!! Pictures on websites are deceptive to what the actual rooms and facilities are. Place stinks, is old and terribly outdated. Beds and beddings have stains and smelly. Floor carpet is filthy and smells. Overall stay was a nightmare. Staff unhelpful.
Gordon
A 2 star hotel so it's a bit old and tired, but has comfortable beds and hot showers.
Close to public transport, eateries and within walking distance of the CBD

Shama Rolyn
Liked the friendly staff but the overall hygiene of the room not up to standard. The beddings were stained white sheets. The windows glasses cracked.
Katina
I have stayed 3 times. I enjoyed the whole stay. Loved the views from recent stays. Look forward to staying again
Ben
It's a real propper dive. Booked here as it was the last available place in town with space. Now I know why. Staff were friendly enough but there's no getting around the dire facility.

Although it's not so bad about that hotel in general, it was so bad to stay one night at a place that offers no internet connection. Also, the staff did not advise on how I could access the network.
The room was so noisy because of the severe wind that day as well.

Robert Michael
Two things in room i stay need get fix one is window don't close alway and light was flickering be on. But is great place to stay at.
Isoa
Convenient location to catch ferry, train and to go to the airport.
Furqan Haider
Dirty towels, Broken bath room without soap.
Hala
This is a decent place for a quick stay and to be close to the station. I chose it for the location as I needed to be near the university and the station - otherwise, I'd say it's better to stay close to Cuba St or Willis St - other end of town. On the weekend it was really hard to find places that were open to eat. The carpet was dirty, the towels were stained and the room is very basic. So if you're not looking for anything flash, this place is convenient. The staff were super friendly!
William
Excellent option, private and a fair price

For a start not enough milk

Great value.

L9vely old art deco building. It is old and well used but well maintained and clean. Perfect for travelling without a vehicle. I felt safe.

No frills. Just what I needed for a night in town for an early morning event.

I arrived and was greeted ok. Didn't say what floor I was on but my room number was on a piece of paper. I asked about breakfast included they said no, it is worded about breakfast on the website, it should not be showing. The room numbers were confusing on the doors. It rained and was windy against my room window, a good draft came in through the shut windows, a little puddle of water appeared on the window sill, so yes the room was noisy with weather issues. TV didnt work. No knobs on the heater to work. Bed okish a bit lumpy. The inside of the wardrobe stunk and it had mould inside it. A bit of the ceiling was coming away in the shower.
The lifts were good, lounge room ok, kitchen was ok. The vending machine was filled up with products. The area was convenient and close to the buses and railway station, central to the city. I won't be staying again. The place needs to be demolished and rebuilt in my opinion, its far too old. Rating 4/10

It was a good price and was clean and comfortable....nothing flash but close to everything. A good choice
Frances
We had to change our room three times as the first ones we were given were unsuitable, far too small and dark. Our third room was much better. We were disappointed there was no longer a restaurant in the hotel as we had stayed there a few years ago. You now have to go out and eat in the restaurant next door which wasn't always convenient.
Patricia
I have been at the Waterloo hotel in the past.It is cleaned regularly but nothing has been done in the building for at least 15 years in the kitchen or the communal parts: the carpet is worn out the Lino is sticky even just after being washed.My single room and shared bathroom has not been refurbished in years . The room was colder than the rest of the building fortunately the staff is very helpful and provided a small heater.On the positive side the staff is friendly and helpful and towels and bedding perfectly clean.It’s a shame that such a nice art deco building is not is not maintained properly.
BRAD
Very reasonable rates. Rooms were great and such an excellent location.
