The Marion in Wellington

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! The bathrooms are so cute, with blue tiles on the walls and copper pipes that make it look antique. Lots of privacy with curtains at your own bed, your own reading light and outlets.
The hostel workers are fantastic. They host daily activities or meals. The night I stayed they made a full dinner for everyone.
I would absolutely come back to this hostel

Very nice hostel

This was one of the nicer hostels I've stayed in! Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and nice with free coffee, tea, hot chocolate. There were several lounge areas and I especially liked the rooftop deck. Also, great location, just around the corner from Cuba St.

Great modern hostel right next to where we needed to be.

We were a little worried about noise on a Saturday night on Halloween weekend but it was not an issue at all.
Will definitely stay again

dorm rooms were very well designed with attention to privacy (curtains for each bed), sills on the side with a usb charging port). Staff were very attentive.
Decor was functional, but perhaps a bit spartan.

It was really good with lovely staff and very comfortable amenities. Every bed gets its own power plug to recharge and privacy curtains. I would say though that there is not a lot of space and if it were to happen that everybody in a dorm had those large solid suitcases there ould be an issue. Otherwise, totally recommend.

The best hostel among all hostel I had stayed in New Zealand, Australia, Europe combined. Beds are fixed to the wall so no squawking noise when going up or down the ladder from upstair bed. Curtains next to bed helped make it a little more private even with 5 other girls I stayed with. Shower was roomy and had very convenient/comfortable setting. Staff was very helpful and friendly (night and morning staff). Location was very nice with lots of restaurants to choose from and close to water front. This place deserves 10 out of 10.

男女混合10人部屋に4泊宿泊。オークランドで泊まっていたホステルと比べると、土地柄なのかとても静かだった。部屋は快適で、南京錠がかけられる収納も1人ずつベッド下にあり、カーテン、バスタオル付き。ペーパータオルがない代わりに共用のタオルが置いてある。シャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディソープが付いていたのは良かった。ヘアドライヤーもバスルームに3個置いてあって好きに使えた。人数に対してキッチンは狭く、冷蔵庫も小さいので、しっかり自炊したい人は少し使いづらいかも。同じエリアに食べるところもあるが、すごく狭くて、ごはん食べたいけど座れないということが少しあった。中には自分の階まで運んで食べてる人もいたが、3階とかだと大変で面倒なので自炊せず外食していた。各階に3、4人座れるソファとテレビ、本が置いてあって、ワインを飲みながらくつろいだりしている人もいた。
日本人としては慣れていないので、最初はシャワーが使いづらかった。主に温度調節のしにくさ、水圧など。トイレが詰まりやすかった。流れない、流れていないことが多々あったので、3回くらいボタンを押したこともあるくらい。シャワーやトイレも2回目以降は慣れたので、快適だった。立地的には、駅方面を探索したい方には不便かもしれない。最後に、バスルームとトイレは個室だけど男女共用。

Schön aber noch in der Bauphase

Schönes neues HOstel zentral gelegen.
Leider wird noch recht viel gebaut wodurch es sehr laut ist. Außerdem ist es ziemlich kalt in den Räumen.
Die Vorhänge an den Betten sind toll.
