The pictures of the property were a far cry from reality. Both on the outside and the inside. Worst of all our floor smelt of wet shoes and dirty clothing, and the bedding was stained and looked like it had not been changed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The check - in process was horrendous, 7 hours waiting for my room. Despite requesting early check - in, even at 2pm room was still not ready no sense of urgency from reception staff. It ruined my holiday, 3 days spent in my room from lactic buildup & cramps. The negative, showers were not large enough to swing a cat, the drive - way was meant to stay clear - even had tow truck warnings. The kettle had to balance on the bedhead, cord couldn't reach, on my floor it was a construction site, rubbish overflowing near entrance, beds were back breaking & toilets always out of paper. The positives great location & close to transport.

Great location, no need for a car since I was visiting for only a few days. Easy check in and check out. First night was great in an ensuite room, slept well. Booked a second night last minute in a private room with shared bathroom, and it was quite noisy in the hallways late night. I was woken up from constant loud slamming of doors around 1am. Shared bathroom had unpleasant smell and laundry room had scattered trash all over. First time at Haka House, will continue to try staying at the different locations around NZ.
