The Marion Hostel

Wellington CBD, Wellington

Located in the heart of the city of Wellington,The Marion Hostel offers a range of backpacker accommodation and features a rooftop terrace. It is just a 1-minute walk from Cuba Street where you will find a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars. Free high speed unlimited WiFi is offered throughout the property. First time solo traveler, and it was the first time in a hostel outside of my country, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the choice I made. It was clean with enough bathrooms and toilets to cater to everyone. The location was absolutely perfect 👌 close to Cuba Street and walking distance from the museum, the supermarket, and the water front. I personally loved the rooftop and had most of my meals up there. I would definitely make a return trip.

The Cambridge Hotel 3 stars

CBD - Courtney Place, Wellington

The Cambridge offers a range of accommodation options, including mixed dormitory rooms and private guestrooms with en suite bathrooms. Most rooms come with SKY TV, a refrigerator and tea and coffee making facilities. Favorite was the giant kitchen and dining area, great amount of space and clean. Tons of rooms but tons of bathrooms in a long hallway. Beds were good, a bit squeaky but comfortable. Old style building was cool.

Nomads Capital Backpackers - Wellington 5 stars

Wellington CBD, Wellington

There is a range of comfortable accommodation options, including private rooms with an en suite bathroom, as well as large dormitory rooms. There is a lounge and TV room, a courtyard with BBQ facilities, and a fully equipped communal kitchen. The hostel and hotel sections are distinct enough that, even when the hostel is full of student groups and tours, you can sleep soundly upstairs in the rooms and suites. The kitchen is a bit utilitarian but spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Fantastic location for walking the city.
