Avoid this dirty hole! The 8 Person Dorm is just disgusting. Dirty sheets, bathroom looks like he has not been cleaned for 1 week and no comment to the kitchen - that was too much for me!
Reception is nice and ready to help. The mattresses are almost nonexistent and the surroundings are super noisy. There are also people living here for months at a time, so I can imagine it can be pretty fun. Parking is something else, quite expensive and you have to move around if you don’t want to pay too much.
Probably the cheapest accommodation in Welly but after seeing it I'd prefer to pay some more than to stay in something that disgusting ...
Very nice place! All clean and beautiful. Have a nice bar, living room and kitchen. Only my mattress was not so comfortable Free wifi for 1 hour only.
Beds are not really comfy but it's OK, staff is really nice and helpful but everything is extra (parking, wifi, bar and café etc)
I used 6 bedroom $25 per night(bbh member) No Wi-fi. But if you want to use, you can buy that. $3 per 1hr. And bed was weak and mattress was easily to pressure. But reception staffs were so nice. And open 24hrs. In one room include 1 toilet and shower room. When i was sleep in there, quite noise. Cuz this building was just on the road. Beside main road.
Loved it, great place.
Super hostel for one night. 2 minute walk to the Interislander shuttle bus. Clean rooms and nice staff.
