Everything was amazing. Wonderful, confortable, clean and brand-new. Everything you need is here. Perfect spot next to the city center.

The only black spot was the heat ! Sooooo hot at night and unfortunately no fan or air conditioning, we were literally dying into the room... Could be nice to fix this little problem to make it the perfect place to be in Christchurch !

This is my second stay at Haka House Christchurch, safe to say it is the best place I could stay for at such an affordable price. The place in itself is very clean! The bedsheets, bunk beds bathrooms are always clean, and it is great! The location is top notch, only a few minutes walk to riverside market and all the fun shops, museums, etc. I stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and it cost me around 160 NZD, rounding up to 40/night.

Honestly, I couldn't think of anything bad to say. If I had to nitpick, it's probably how the previous ensuite 4 bedroom had a full body wash, shampoo and conditioner while the room that I stayed at recently didn't have any shampoo and conditioner. SO BRING YOUR OWN!!!

Haka House is ideally located near the Art Centre where there is some nice galeries and food trucks and the Botanical Garden. It is also very close to the city center without being in the noisy part. It is also very clean, I arrived late for the check-in but I called the phone number on the door and a person working there helped me. Thank you. I don't know her name but I know that she is swedish. Finally there is a little certain in the bed which is quite nice.

Almost everything was perfect, and as it is an hostel it is normal that not everything is finished but as everything is so perfect maybe having towels would be nice, and also napkins for eating in the dining room.

My stay was super comfortable and I am so glad I chose Haka House. I booked one bed in a 2-room dorm and stayed 3 nights. When I arrived, the person already in my room had put the heating on in the room (it was 19°C outside!) and I asked if there were any fans available. They had another room available and accommodated me that way instead; the only one available was at the staircase and next to the bathroom, and despite the slightly greater noise, I was much more comfortable in a space where I could open the window and have it open all night and close the curtains without any issues. As a solo woman I felt safe and I never worried about my things because I could put a lock on the storage lockers. Privacy 10/10, Safety 10/10, Cleanliness 10/10. Would definitely stay again.

The four bed room I was in was spacious. There were good quality curtains for privacy. It was Ensuite and the showers were hot The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful particularly Marley and Diego. Truthfully they were all very kind and very helpful but I didn’t get to know others’ names to mention them. I loved having a nice large kitchen with spacious fridges and a reasonable quality and quantity of China, crockery, pots and pans. The location is perfect in the city centre. Above all it’s a chilled place and has a good vibe.

I don’t know what was up with my mattress but I always walk up with sciatica. Something I’ve never had before.

Excellent location in the heart of the city. Sharp, alert, passionate staff. Very well equipped kitchens, and excellent common areas to relax in. Comfortable beds in nice rooms. Clean, spacious, highly recommended.

The shower mats have some kind of dye in them that transferred green grey to the heels of my feet. Really recommend sourcing from a new supplier. Some bathrooms could better utilise space. For example, a large unused space between the shower and external wall that could accommodate a shelf to place clothes, say. Hand towels are supplied each day, but used by multiple people is not hygienic. Would be great to see paper towels dispensers or hand dryers.

Nice hostel with super friendly staff in great location. I was in an upstairs bunk that was creaking a lot and when I asked nicely to change bed/rooms for the rest of my stay they even upgraded me to a better room category for free. It's within walking distance to the city centre and some nice restaurants. The beautiful botanic garden is also just around the corner.

No free onsite parking was a bit of a pain, but luckily I was able to find a spot in one of the free parking streets that wasn't too far away.

Rooms were modern, clean and tidy. The shared bathrooms were of the type that had shower, sink and toilet all together. Plenty of table space in the common rooms adjacent to the kitchen. Has more than one kitchen. The private room had a kettle which was good for making tea, fridge, and a tv. The beds have shelving that is well suited for placing your drink and for charging devices (has usb port as well as plug). The location is very good as it is only 10mins walk from the city centre and bus station. Right next to the hostel is the Arts Centre that is in a converted school/university building: has many food trucks, exhibitions and a art house cinema. Very pretty and safe area. Friendly staff.

Stayed in a private room: the room was small which was ok for me, though if there were two people it would be difficult to move around the room without bumping into each other (for one night I stayed in a different private room and it was larger). The bed frame was too high: when sat on the mattress, my feet could not touch the ground, and there was no other chair/stool in the room. The bed frame could have either two mattresses made as separate beds , or one king size mattress - my room had two mattresses which meant the mattress would move around. The second bed I used as the space to put my case as there was no other space on the floor. Walls are a bit thin and you can hear doors opening and closing...though I never had any problems of being disturbed by noise.

Love the architecture, the location, the "pod" beds. Being able to do whatever disgusting personal stuff you need to do behind closed curtains is a big plus. Very close to the museum, the botanical gardens and the Avon River.

I don't think you need to take a record of my credit card in case (and I am quoting your check-in person) I have a party and wreck something. Also the small kitchen does not have a kettle or a toaster. I found the big kitchen by accident the next morning. Does everyone know there are two kitchens? It might be less congested if we all do.

Loved the location, convenience and facilities provided within. The check-in process was seamless with the staff at the counter and having the door card makes me feel safe in this space. It was my first time staying in a backpacker's lodge where shared rooms were used but I felt extremely safe and comfortable.

I didn't read thoroughly enough before staying there so I wasn't aware that towels weren't provided for my room. I could rent towels from the counter but by the time I found out, it was too late at night and the counter was unmanned already.
