The staff were very nice and helpful. The location was superb of course, and the room was adequate for the price, parking was also a plus.
Comfortable stay, good location. Interesting peopl
A very comfortable hostel, situated very close to waterfront downtown Wellington. Very good staff, knowledgeable and nice. Had a private room, very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
The kitchen and bathrooms were cramped and often full. But, the location and staff were wonderful. The room was clean. The hostel was just full and could have used slightly better designed facilities to accommodate the crowd on hand.
Trek Global Backpackers was the perfect stay for me, everything was clean, the noise level was great and it had a great chilled, social atmosphere. Will definitely be staying here next time I'm around the Wellington area.

I had a quick overnight after 2 very long travel days without much sleep. I arrived in the CBD at 8am and was able to store my luggage in order to explore the city before check-in. I booked a private room to get some rest before travelling on and it was excellent. The bed was clean and comfy, and the window opened for fresh air. Although the room was right off the kitchen, it was quiet after 9pm and through the night.
The location was fabulous, just a short walk to Cuba street and all the funky shops and cafes. I even walked to the harbour and to the Botanic gardens.
I didn’t do any cooking, but I really appreciated the hot water on demand for my tea! The staff were great. The property and rooms are “well used” and could use some freshening up, but bathrooms were cleaned regularly. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you.
Enjoyed all facilities. First backpackers, was impressed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
very central Wellington, easy to get everywhere.
Very small, noisy room.
Great, central location. Handy to airport bus stops. Lots of eateries within walking distance and close to most major event centres. Place is being redecorated so some unfinished work still but very clean and staff are friendly and helpful.
Staff are great, very helpful with any query.
Showers - amazing
Even though they aren't dragons at all, everyone was very respectful re: noise at night.
Good supply of kitchen basics (sugar, coffee, tea, flour and pans and utensils)
Great price for an easy stay. Lovely place the staffs are very friendly and all the guests are friendly and polite, the place is tidy and safe. We had the private ensuite room, small but offered everything we needed. It was a little bit noisy as the room is near laundry and kitchen but we were good sleepers so no border. Definitely recommend it.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was very small and stuffy, there was only space for the bunks and a shelving unit/cupboard which was broken so I was not able to secure my belongings. It was a little inconvenient with the stairs and the location of the amenities, but otherwise it was a nice place and certainly perfect for backpackers. The male who served me was very nice & friendly.
