Guest Reviews

• Vera (10/5): -
• Isobel (10/5): The most gorgeous hostel, I couldn’t recommend enough! - The property is so well situated in central Wellington, the staff are absolutely lovely and I felt so well looked after the whole stay! From free coffee in the morning to blankets provided when it got cold to amenities in the shower - truly such a fantastic hostel!
• Lisa (10/5): Wundervolles und gemütliches Hostel - Bestes Hostel, in dem ich bisher war. Alles super sauber und gemütlich, ausreichend Platz, um auch mal für sich zu sein, das ganze Gebäude war sehr schön gestaltet. Außerdem gab es gratis Fahrräder zur Nutzung, rund um die Uhr Kaffee, Tee, heiße Schokolade und mehr & Samstags und sonntags gibt es auch noch pancakes, sowohl in vegan als auch nicht vegan. Das Personal ist wahnsinnig nett und zuvorkommend und auch die Lage und der Preis des Hostels sind top. 👌🏻

• Halina (10/5): - Friendly, affordable, clean, well equipped hostel, central and relatively quiet location, nice lounges and roof terrace. Parking is possible on the street (only free over night, but that's to be expected for central Wellington). Really enjoyed my stay.
• Dan (9/5): - Very easy access, location was great
• Yixuan (8/5): -
• Lorine (10/5): -
• hutchinson (10/5): Ideal, really better than we might have hoped wish I was staying longer in Wellington to stay longer - The whole building had a slightly stark utilitarian aesthetic, which if dirty or shabby, would have looked shit, it was not, it was classy, the brickwork and exposed piping felt like an upmarket hipster bar, the shower was great, good pressure and temperature and a nice large space, the beds were lovely with good curtains to seperate from the room, and in the morning on Sunday we were treated to free pancakes! Couldn’t be more happy For the price it’s hard to imagine somewhere better with a location this good
• Mara (7/5): -
• Benjamin (7/5): Good enough if you are lucky with your room. - The staff was very professional better than some Hotels. I also liked the architecture, the environment and the facilities. It was a bit too loud during the night. First night no sleep, second night a bit better and third night was good.
• Reagan (10/5): Awesome! Loved the vibes and everything was clean and cozy. - Clean and comfortable rooms with good storage space Free tea and coffee, hot water on demand in the kitchen! Lots of appliances Bikes available to use for free Cool communal/chill spaces (rooftop deck!) Kind and helpful staff Good location for walking to nearby attractions
• Georgi (10/5): -
• Kare (10/5): - The yoga room/gym!!! The bathroom facilities were also very good.
• Angelika (10/5): - Hervorragend organisiertes und ausgestattetes Hostel. Die hohen und großzügigen Räume sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Große, gut ausgestattete Küche. Die Duschen sind mit Bodywash, Shampoo und Conditioner ausgestattet und wie das restliche Hostel sehr sauber. In den Schlafräumen gab es große Schubladen für die persönlichen Dinge bzw. Wertsachen. Zusätzliche Räume für Yoga, ungestörte Telefonate etc. sind vorhanden. Auch die Lage ist sehr gut. Ich kann das Hostel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und würde auch selber wieder dort buchen.
• MICHAEL (10/5): Superb, with excellent facilities, comfortable beds, spotlessly clean and in a good location. - Very helpful hard working staff and well managed. Layout is excellent which is conducive to social interaction, and spotlessly clean. Washroom/shower facility is excellent. Kitchen facilities are exceptional and plenty of space for storing chilled food and robust bags for non-perishables kept in large drawers. Milk, tea coffee provided, and some useful cooking ingredients. Enjoyed free pancake breakfast on Saturday morning. Would definitely stay again in a good quiet location. Thank you Everything was fine.
• Lesa (10/5): Excellent value and location - It’s location and the renovations of an old Wellington building
• J (8/5): Great Hostel but the private twin room is not the best - The location is very good, very close to shops and restaurants and public transport, the shore and major sights like the Te Papa Museum are nearby. The hostel is nice and well maintained with a big and very well organized kitchen. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. I stayed in the private twin room (there is only one) and that was not so great. The room is rather small itself and only has a smaller window up under the ceiling. Due to the big bunk bed, the room is pretty dark and you have to always switch on the lights even when there's bright sunshine outside. Also, it's located under the laundry room and right next to the staircase. Even though this hostel is better soundproofed than most, you still hear it. I would definitely stay at the Marion again but wouldn't choose the private twin room next time.
• Kevin (10/5): -
• Angela (10/5): Excellent - probably the best hostel on my journey so far. Facilities clean and spacious, dorm room was clean and spacious (my specific one, the ceilings were soo tall), you did not feel cramped. Privacy curtains, personal lights and chargers by bed were well appreciated. Super comfortable, almost too comfortable as i almost overslept for something haha. Kitchen was decently clean. I appreciated the notes and signs abt not forgetting your key or asking reception for extra blankets if you need one (which i definitely did). All good. Note that you need to press a little longer on the toilet flush to make sure it flushes everything thru. Noticed that often things might have been flushed thru all the way. Maybe add a little sign next to it as a reminder to guests?

• Mabey (10/5): Safe, perfect location and great facilities - I felt very safe in my room as a solo, female traveller. I checked in late, but check in was super easy and the facilities were amazing. The location was also perfect-so close to Cuba street with a place to park my car right opposite. Highly recommend.

• Katie (10/5): Best hostel in New Zealand - This is one of the best hostels that I stayed at while in New Zealand. They do a great job of giving you enough common space areas and there was a really beautiful set up for the room with the bunkbeds. I was lucky enough to be there during their free pancakes, which was a really nice touch. They actually had enough space in the refrigerator for your groceries if you wanted to use the kitchen. It was very clean and well organized. Nothing

• cathelijne (10/5): Top hostel! - Fijne sfeer, super schoon, leuke inrichting, fantastische keuken en prachtige kamer Niets

• Gaia (10/5): -
• Kerstin (10/5): Favourite place to stay in Wellington - Excellent hostel in central Wellington Privacy even in a dorm Very well organized kitchen Super clean No washing line to dry your clothes
• Julien (10/5): -
• Brenna (10/5): Dreamy - Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Beautifully clean and modern- ample chill out space including rooftop space for early morning coffee and stretches. Spotless spacious and tasteful bathrooms, decor. Beaut free pancakes in the weekend. Could live here happily! Nothing
• Janna (10/5): Super nettes Hostel - - Dachterasse - kostenlose Handtücher, Seife, Duschgel, Conditioner - Steckdose und Licht am Bett - nette Atmosphäre
• Felicity (9/5): - Modern, nice rooms, kitchen and chilling spaces Reception team weren’t very welcoming
• Réka (10/5): -
• valou78 (9/5): - J'ai tous aimé la gentillesse du staff. Les panecake le week-end. La facilité d'être au centre ville. Le calme des chambres. Rien.
• Isabella (9/5): - Really loved this hostel and wish I stayed longer than 1 night! Felt like a breath of fresh air staying here after some of the truly outdated and sometimes dire hostels I’ve stayed in in other parts of nz. Everything felt fresh, clean and comfortable Unless I missed it, there was no lift - so being on the top floor with loads of luggage was a bit annoying
• Maximilian (9/5): -
• viggo (9/5): Super nice - Free towels, comfy beds and curtains, good storage and TV room. Beautiful building I didn’t cook in the kitchen, but if you usually do this isn’t any worse than other hostels
• kim (8/5): I really enjoyed my stay here,loved the rooftop deck,cool place ,and also felt safe - Staff great, location awesome My only concern was that the shower was had not been cleaned as it had the dreaded orange slime on the floor and around the bottom of the walls, which means not been cleaned in quite a while.
• Anna (8/5): -
• Esther (10/5): My absolute favourite accomodation in Wellington. Well located, friendly, great art on the walls. - I was pleasantly surprised to get a free pancake breakfast. I had no problems
• Rita (10/5): - Excellent facilities. Very well designed. Plenty of bathrooms and showers. Best hostel ever.
• Raven (9/5): Cool, convenient with a great vibe... - Loved the art! I am a photographer so having Ans Westra's photos in the hallway and in my room was so lovely. The free coffee and pancakes were fabulous... My room was lovely and quiet. At the end of the halway it looked out onto this amazing old window... The location, so close to Cuba Street, was awesome. We came to see Nick Cave and it was an easy walk to the TSB Arena. The proximity to the Shelly Bay Baker on Leeds Street was also fabulous. That laneway is awesome. Make sure you buy some chocolate from the Wellington Chocolate factory! Oh, and the industrial brass fixtures and wallpaper in the bathroom were very cool too... Nothing, apart from MEVO have ZERO cars available all weekend! Thankfully there were UBERs.

• ngoc anh (8/5): -
• Karen (9/5): - Always a great place to stay
• Jeremy (10/5): - Clean, homely, quiet
• jessica (9/5): - C'est vraiment une des plus agréables Guest dans laquelle j'ai pu dormir depuis le début de mon Voyage.. Le confort des lits+++ qui ne bougent pas du tout , lss équipements, tout est recherché. Il y a le soucis du détail.. jusque dans les parures de lit qui sont différentes pour chaques lits. Ca enleve le côté impersonnel des dortoirs. Le petit déjeuner offert avec les pancakes maison le week-end. La gentillesse du Staff Il y a beaucoup beaucoup de bruit.. c'est dur de trouver un endroit où il y a du silence pour pouvoir travailler. Certains soirs il y avait de la musique très forte. La cusine est tres bien équipé mais beaucoup trop petite pour le nombre de personnes
• Carolyn (8/5): - The Marion is a favourite. Clean, comfortable and well designed. Staff are helpful and friendly. Great central location. Not being able to reserve a car park this time was inconvenient and expensive. I wouldn't stay again without free parking.
• Juliana (9/5): Estadia agradável, hostel muito bem organizado e limpo. - A localização do hostel é ótima, bem como a limpeza e organização.
• Andrea (10/5): - Great location! Clean, spacious and super comfortable!

• Becky (10/5): - I really enjoyed my stay with the Marion Hostel! It was clean, comfortable and felt really homely. I stayed in a shared and private room and both were really cosy and the small touches like shampoo/conditioners towels hairdryers etc really made it very good value for what you pay! The staff were very kind and accommodating. The kitchen had full cooking supplies including spices oils etc which added to that homely feel. The pancake breakfasts on a Saturday and Sunday were amazing! Will definitely recommend this place to anyone I know travelling to Wellington 😊
• Amy (8/5): -
• Angelika (10/5): I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends - Very helpful staff. The double room, that I stayed in was like in a **** hotel, the bed was very comfortable. It was surprisingly quiet for a hostel. The kitchen was well equipped, spacious and clean.
