Fantastic value for money for someone looking for a simple overnight stay in the central city, even outside of the backpacking context. A safe carpark building directly behind the building and awesome Wellington coffee right next sure to that. Will be back!

Adequate. Good comfortable bed. Bit run down but clean enough and very affordable. Nice staircase. Surprisingly quiet. Quirky. Ancient plumbing sounds amusing. Decent budget option.
