EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATION
Reviewed By Caryl TWe booked for an overnight in Wellington, our three adult sons and us, a couple. We were attending a wedding and just wanted an overnight bed but we got much more than that. Our sons arrived from Auckland early and went to the hostel to drop their bags and out for brunch. They were offered breakfast by the hosts, which was most unexpected and very much appreciated. The rooms and the facilities were extremely clean and well cared for and we were treated like royalty - nothing was too much trouble for them. Our included breakfast the next day was plentiful, with a good variety. We found the Dwellington an amazing place to stay, very reasonable and beyond our expectations.

A little disappointing
Reviewed By ReginaldFistingtonI booked a single room with ensuite not expecting anything amazing, especially when only paying 90ish dollars, but even with the bar set low it didn't meet my expectations. Firstly, all I wanted was an adequate bed to sleep on. After pulling back the covers and sitting down I slid down into a crater that had formed at the centre of the bed. Thankfully I was too tired to care initially but after waking up a few times it began to bother me. I opted for the floor which was far nicer. Just for the bed alone I wouldn't recommend staying in this room. There was other minor issues with damage done to the bathroom, no plug for the bath and stains on the walls, but these things were superficial.

Worst backpackers in New Zealand
Reviewed By DianeW80We, unfortunately, booked before checking reviews, decided to turn up anyway, then left almost immediately. NO PARKING at all, on a very steep hill, quite a few rooms were down a lot of steps. Our room and shared bathroom were amazingly clean however the rest of the place was disgustingly filthy. The carpet seemed to have years of beer and takeaway food trodden into it, piles of clothes all over the floor in every room occupied by teenagers. At only 4 pm several half-drunk teenagers already lying about on the couch on the front verandah and a young girl virtually passed out on a table inside. We have travelled using NZ backpackers for years but hey I have standards..plus I am no teenager! We left but had to pay for one night which I suppose is fair enough as we gave no warning..but then they gave US no warning either!

Avoid! Super rude owner!
Reviewed By lindaangelicaTo start with positives - good location and not expensive. Now, this was a last minute booking and we kind of knew what to expect, because we've been to backpackers before. We even called to asked if it would be a problem if we arrived after 9pm, just in case our flight was late. The owner said it's no problem, but we were on time anyway. The check-in was fine, the customer service was ok at this point. We made our way upstairs. If you're squimish you would leave at this moment. Walls haven't seen a coat of paint for a loooooong time, bloody mattresses on the halls like from a horror movie and dirty floor in a room. Filthy showers full of mould. At least the sheets looked clean. We were there for one night and left at 8am. Now, booking.com asked us for some feedback and we gave our honest feedback. For which we received an e-mail and a voice message from Mark, the owner, calling us "a f*cking b*tch" and telling us to "f*ck off". That is absolutely unacceptable and completely absurd. This man should not work in hospitality or with people at all. I can't wait for yet another rude response here. Avoid this place!
9. Wild Zebra Backpackers

Run down, noisy area, bathroom not clean, central location, nice & helpful reception staff
Reviewed By JandhfmWe arrived (2 adults, 4 kids on mum and daughter weekend) to find booking.com had booked us into a room that doesn’t exist( (6 bed with en-suite). Wild zebra were kind to accomodate us across 2 rooms ensuring access to an en-suite in one. Whilst central, the building is very run down, bed has a huge dip in it, noisey street with lots of bars, bathroom has not been adequately cleaned (bottle tops and old plasters, layer of dust on floor). Thank goodness it’s only one night!
