The Dwellington
8 Halswell St, Thorndon, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand – Great location - show map
Nice hostel with a lot of character. Really enjoyed the large communal kitchen and dining space, and refrigerator storage was convenient. Breakfast was good, simple but plentiful. My dorm room was decent size and very quiet with a comfortable bed. Shower and bathroom facilities were clean and never too busy during my stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the parks and green space that were not too far away for some excellent hiking and exploration. The Dwellington has a great vibe.
