I stayed in a dorm. It was the absolute worst night of my life. The beds smelt disgusting, like they had been soiled and not cleaned properly. The room was mouldy, the people at reception were mouldy, the kitchen was mouldy. I can't believe I let myself stay here after reading these reviews; they're not lying. This place should be... More

I honestly didn't know places like this existed until staying here. We booked for two nights but stayed for one hour after finding a used syringe and cockroaches in our moldy room. A friend booked our room and I read the reviews before arrival and thought they were illegitimate because the reviewers only had one review each. However this was... More

This place should be closed down. It's was so dirty and unhygienic that we left immediately. Surely it would not pass a hospitality inspection and the police would certainly be interested in many of the occupants. We had a quick tour and were alarmed at the smell of marijuana that while being so obvious to the staff was clearly ignored.... More

I chose lodge in the city as I wanted to park my car at the hostel and considered it cheap for bbh. Upon arriving I paid the $10 for parking (happy to go that), however going to the room the whole corridor reeked of weed and was filthy. There is one bathroom for women on the floor of which there...

DO NOT STAY HERE!! As if the disgusting kitchen, the filthy bathrooms and mouldy rooms arent bad enough you then have to deal with the drunken yobs that live there. Then just to go and make things even worse the staff are rude, obnoxious and would obviously rather be drinking with the guests than checking someone into a room. Would... More

Me and two friends stayed here despite the reviews and my mum who works in a similar industry recommending I don't. It was the last rooms in our price range in town. We found it amazing. The room was very clean, no funny smells like everyone says, clean kitchen, awesome social areas and great people. Sure the lift was a... More

My wife and I need a place to stay when we got to Wellington. On the website it looked fine. But When we got here we were in for a shock. Our small, damp, and stinking room was what awaited us after a 18 hour flight. The walls of our room where covered in what looked like, dried human faeces... More

Currently staying there as needed a place to stay for three weeks after the lease at my flat expired before heading overseas. Before anyone asks me, I couldn't find anywhere that was available due to the 7's and Homegrown taking place over February, and places like St George and the rooms regularly advertised on Trademe by Platinum Rentals require a...

This is by far the worst place I have stayed any where in the world. Toilets broken and filthy. Carpets and rooms damp. They couldn't even provide us with a key for the first night. Booked for two nights and left after the first due to the shocking hygiene standards. If you are completely desperate for a room in Wellington,... More
