Haka House Wellington is a great location, and our twin room with an ensuite offered a good amount of space. However, the advertised amenities like a hairdryer and kettle were missing, which was a disappointment, especially since the receptionist mentioned it had been like that for weeks. "Sorry" doesn't cut it, it's misleading. The hair drier on the 5th floor wasn't working. Disappointing. The room itself felt a bit bare-bones. Two coat hangers were hardly enough for two people, and the lack of drawers or a cupboard made it difficult to unpack. A small detail, but having the bath soap located outside the shower was inconvenient. The hostel's wifi was easy to connect to and worked well with mobile phones. Unfortunately, it wasn't compatible with my Mac laptop (security related), forcing me to tether with phone. It's important to note that the hostel can get noisy on Thursdays through Saturdays due to young guests partying. While I was able to sleep through it, those with lighter sleep might want to consider this. Additionally, the walls seemed thin, allowing some noise from neighbouring rooms. You will hear a lot of road noise during the day. The advertised "harbour view" came with a bit of a surprise - a prominent view of the New World loading dock and its wheelie bins. While the harbour was still visible, it wasn't quite the picturesque scene I was expecting. Comes back to the old adage: You get what you pay for.

Considering the property is in the middle of renovations, our rooms were clean and tidy and perfect for us. One of the bunks was damaged, so they provided us the room next door at no extra cost. We had no hot water in our ensuite shower for any of the 3 nights we stayed, but could at least still access the communal bathroom facilities. The communal kitchen was great, however more bench cloths were needed, and more frequent cleaning would gave made it more appealing.
