Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers
Apa Kata Tetamu
Location was fabulous as was value for money and quirkiness. It was super clean despite being so old (so areas don't necessarily look clean but they are) and difficult to clean (all respect to the cleaning team). Set up was great. Organised kitchen. Plenty of space to be sociable or private as desired. Also note: a new krishna Indian food place newly opened just around the corner with amazing selection of food for $9.99 a plate.

We always book here when coming to Wellington because it is excellent value for money and it is very conveniently located. The swipe cards, which you have to use to access the various levels, make for good security. A solo traveller would feel safe here. Fresh towels, etc, were provided each day. The bathroom facilities were cleaned ,rubbish emptied, and more sachets of tea, coffee, and chocolate provided.. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff we encountered were pleasant.

The single room was absolutely adequate for my needs and the bathroom had been renovated! The bed was quite comfortable and I had a TV and a kettle. The staff are very helpful and I could leave my bag in a locker before I checked in. The Duke of Wellington Bistro alongside is very nice too! The location is perfect for working at the National Library, shopping, restaurants and train/bus station!

The facilities were great. Kitchen for everyone to use and it was great seeing many families as well as backpackers cooking full meals. Fridge storage and many ovens and cooktops. Dining area was large. Bed was comfortable and shower was great. Walking distance to heaps of the attractions the wharf and Cuba St . Room was quite small, bed against the wall, but it was comfortable.

Basic but cosy room in a laid back backpackers. Own bathroom.Towel and linen provided. Microwave and tea making facilities, plus a plate and cutlery for basic meals if you don't want to share a kitchen. Big kitchen and lounge etc on a different floor to the rooms, which makes it much quieter. Location fantastic, as right opposite the train/coach/bus station and no hill to climb with your case. Cross the road and you're at the bluebridge ferry terminal to go south or a shuttle at the train station takes you to the interislander ferry terminal. Walk along the coastline for a choice of restaurants, then eventually you get to te papa museum and the big supermarket. Or walk through the buzzing city. Good value for money.

It's hard to find a room at this price in Wellington anymore. It's probably one of the cheapest, so you need to adjust your expectations accordingly. It's an ancient building, and the decor and plumbing reflect it. That said, the mattress was great, I was warm, and the bathroom was convenient with plentiful hot water. It was also super close to my work location, so I was very happy. It's great having a basin in the room but I really missed having a jug and basic tea/coffee facilities in the room.

The hostel is nice , our private room was pretty good , was more than what I was expecting for be honest . The only thing is that the shower have more water outside than inside and the mattress is a little bit old I think bc you fell inside of it but the room was pretty nice .

The location is supreme. It is so easy to access to railway station, buses and taxi. AX bus direct travel between airport and the accommodation. The room is spacious, it would be bonus if provide a desk or a table. Booked 2 single rooms with shared bathroom, end up 2 single rooms and have bathroom only shared between the guests from the 2 rooms. Independent sinks for each room. Kitchen has hot water tank provide immediate hot water. Metal benchtops are very useful, can put hot pots and pans on, and easy to clean. And there are sufficient number of them for guests to use. Comfortable and sufficient space at dinning area.

Outstanding location, Best value for money; supervreasonable in the centre of all transport services and the closest accom to the Stadium; ferry; trains and intercity buses. Staff are extremely helpful; free lockers (even on the day you check out!) It's an old hotel, expect it to be that. Comfortable, warm, free wifi daily (1GB) and a must for anyone looking for budget accom. Thank you Waterloo Hotel and Backpackers.

I have stayed here several times before in a private room and it is excellent value for money and a great location. It has everything I needed and was basic but clean. Check in and out was simple. I love some of the original features of this accommodation
