"good location. easy to go downtown (theatre or food court, club) even if is quite far from the railway station. (you can take bus, and it is fast and often.) very reasonable price and clean dorm room." … "One of the best hostels we have been in!!!! I stayed here for five days in June and had a great time. The location couldn't have been better, as it's right at the top of Courtney Place. The kitchen was always clean, and the bathrooms were amazing!!! It's just so clean, it well and truly has the feel of a hotel!! There's a good pub...  more »

"Exellent bar with tonnes of exoticly good looking tourists every night." … "This old hotel is showing its age, but it was clean and well-maintained. The bar was loads of fun. Room are small and drafty (due to the hotel development trends of when it was built), but they were comfortable, clean, and hot water was readily available. On the downside, the kitchen food was not good." … "Loved it!! The atmosphere, the bar, the living area, and the kitchen were all good. The room was a little old, but it was okay." … "Nice bar,...  more »

"We landed here after a mix up with our previous hostel, were very pleasantly surprised. Everything was clean and tidy when we got there. The double en-suite room was comfortable. The staff extremely helpful. The kitchen was very spacious. Nice communal areas." … "The TV rooms (2) are stinky, but you can open a window if you really want to. Overall, it's reasonably well heated. The gym IS a bit of joke. But the common area is huge, with a fireplace, and a pool table ($2). They have a nice jacuzzi tucked upstairs, but don't be...  more »

"My new zealand home - For anyone wanting to instantly be welcomed into a great group of people from around the world, WWB is for you. There was a great mix of both long termers and short termers to keep things fun and interesting. When I stayed, there was always something going on. By far, the best hostel I've stayed at in NZ. It really does feel like home." … "We had a fantastic time there. The people were friendly and helpful. Clean rooms, kitchen and showers, not to mention the free wine at night and free breakfast. I would...  more »

"Loved the atmosphere!! I stayed about seven months at one point. It was a great place to stay in Wellington, and Allen is unique. He had a couple of dogs when I was there Bessy and ??, which we used to take walking on Mt. Victoria. Breakfasts were always great with ginger tea and cheese toasties cooked outside with love hearts cut out in the middle. I have fond memories of a very interesting time. I wonder how Allen is doing. Anyone know??" … "Beethoven House is not for everyone, but I have travelled all over the world and have never...  more »

"One of a kind! - I worked at Beethoven House for two months whilst traveling through New Zealand, and can say I have the happiest memories of this place. It's not like other hostels (one of the reasons I stayed there!), it's a bit dingy, sometimes a little dirty (not so much when I worked there!) and yes -- a bit strange. I loved it! If you have a wacky sense of humour, a bit eccentric, and want to stay away from the usually completely dull hostels then this place is for you. It became my second home -- Allen is amazing (his stories about...  more »

"A good place to stay. - go to wellington and stay at rosemere, it's cool. the place has everything you need." … "I stayed here in 2005 for a couple of months. It is small, busy, friendly, and fun. If you want a quiet time and personal space -- stay somewhere else. The staff are terrific and the evenings outside on the verandah are always full of music and too much alcohol. "Princess" Terry coordinates the best costume parties in the country. I recommend Rosemere if you are young, fun, and want to party." … "Part "industrial" part...  more »

"Wow what a awesome hostel great location and wonderful views of the city. Camped for the first three days and then when my boyfriend came we stayed in a double room. Guy at the desk was very helpful with information on what was on in the city and it was so easy to walk into town supermarket a bit expensive but very handy. We bought a van from a fellow backpacker at hostel and so the free parking was good. Kitchen small but had the basics. Friendly staff, clean, bit shabby in parts but everything else makes up for that. Would recommend this...  more »

"I only stayed here because there were no other beds available in Wellington at the time, and I moved out as soon as possible. The staff were not friendly, the kitchen was locked at night till 7am (which sucks if you have to leave early), and the overall atmosphere was dull and lifeless. The other guests were generally friendly, but the rooms were kinda crappy and the bathrooms dirty. Not the worst place I ever stayed, but definitely lacking in personality and charm." … "I stayed here the first night I was in Wellington and I was glad I...  more »
