A great stay by the four of us in a four bed (Twin bunks) room with more room in it that I had expected, with a locker each for luggage etc. Plenty of good showers and toilet facilities close to the room, with kitchen and eating facilities near the main hotel entrance. A great value stay with very friendly and helpful staff.

The room itself had a few amenities and was generally clean. However, it gets very hot. The only solution is to open the windows and let in potential sandflies, or ask for one of the couple fans available. The bedding has outlines of sweaty bodies and probably should be replaced.

I had a good stay. The staff was friendly. The hostel is well located and the room was warm and nice. But as seems to be the problem in other Haka Houses, the corridor, bathroom and lounge were freezing.

Very clean, modern and comfortable stay! Appreciated the TV room, common room with games, a fireplace and lots of seating. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious, my highlight was the sauna which was inside the hostel that was delightful and warmed me after a cold hike. I also loved that my en-suite bathroom had both an extractor fan and heater too which was a nice touch.
