  As a backpacker I actually really love this place. It’s very homely, not super fancy but an awesome vibe. A lot of reviews say the reception guy is rude - he’s not. He’s actually super kind, just quick to the point. He gave us a huge discount on our room and they offer cheap weekly rates here as well. Amenities are clean enough and the staff are helpful. Wellington is beautiful and it’s not a far walk to the city’s centre. Honestly I think a lot of bad reviews are from Kiwis who were expecting some beautiful motel. This is a Backpackers hostel, not the ritz Carlton. Don’t like that they close the kitchen at 10.30pm, but this seems to be common in NZ hostels. I don’t usually write reviews but all the bad reviews on this place are uncalled for, it’s pretty sick here. Conclusion: come here if you’re a backpacker, if you’re not, don’t waste everybody’s time please.

  Gunna be very honest here. I stayed a month at Rowena's and while the facilities were quite subpar(small crowded kitchen, half the fridges barely work, no freezer, no oven, cheap spring beds, cloth dryers barely dry at all, paid wifi for $5 a gb, and some room doors dont lock properly although when notified the older guy at the front desk had it fixed the next day), this place has a lot of character. You really have to try hard not to make any friends here, and some of the staff are pretty funny too. Its also pretty clean for a Hostel in this price range as its cleaned every night (during the middle of the night, which is nice because that means toilets are pretty much always available). Overall I enjoyed my experience here, and its pretty cheap too at $20 a night for a room, $10 a night for camping. They also have more than 50+ rooms and its in walking distance to downtown Wellington.

  Stayed in a cozy twin room that had one double bed and one twin bed. Bathrooms were clean. Kitchen was clean but closed after 10pm and no freezer. Free WiFi that is slow in rooms but works well in the common area. Would stay here again

  nice hostel, its what you would expect in that price range. they have tentspaces as well, the carpark in the back of the hostel is quite nice in the crowded Wellington. staff was quite rude and wouldn't give us a wifi voucher although we asked like 5 times for it

  An great lodge and accommodation place for back packers and group camping people. The lodge is available in very good budget and centrally located. You can walk to many of the famous tourist spots in Wellington cbd. The public transport is easily available and so is the grocery store. The toilets and kitchen us good and cooking dishes are provided along with fridge to store your food overnight. The only drawback is Wi-Fi is paid service.
