It was alright, does the job for having a place to put your head down at night. The entire building has the Charme of a prison cell though. No window in the room, no window in the corridor, no window in the kitchen which is located in the basement. Quite depressing. I avoided spending time there as much as possible. Location is great though, you reach viaduct harbour within a 15 min walk. Regarding value for money, I guess it’s cheap but I stayed at multiple hostels during my time in NZ that had similar/cheaper pricing and were a loot nicer and more comfortable
