We had a private room and used the shared bathrooms. Everything was clean, our room was basic but more spacious than we expected. Staff was friendly and helpful, yet most things we needed were automated (like check in/ out). The location is SUPERB! We could walk to “Eat street” and Kuirau Park is across the street, uber rides were readily available, and the InterCity bus stop was a few blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place for a cheaper option. The doors were very noisy on the first night as they closed at each time someone went though but that would be the only downside of the property. Room was very clean and modern

Great room. Good for what we needed it for. Unfortunately there was some male sports team staying there also and were extremely loud. The walls a very very thin. But overall it was an ok experience. Would go there again. Loved seeing all the tourists!

Great apart from the cleaning

The bed was comfy, great privacy with the curtains and sturdy built beds. Cozy warm room, lots of showers etc. large kitchen, dining area, TV sofa section. Negatives: I was there for 4 days and they did not clean the room once, mugs left from previous people and a dirty carpet that needed a vacuum, not good. Some of the staff were approachable and friendly, others really weren't and just took over the shared spaces at night, mainly talking over the films in the TV area, so odd when there's other places to sit.

Suited our family of four. Was nice to have the whole room to ourselves. The property is secure with comfortable bunks. Best bunk beds we’ve experienced. Big tidy kitchen with plenty of utensils, tea towels, and plates. The only downside was the kitchen near our room wasn’t functional (a broken tap) and had to go further to the main one through the outside stairs up and down in the wet weather. Some selfish people left their dirty dishes by the broken sink and in the fridge- which weren’t cleared the three days we were there.

Quick check in. The bed was great, not soft like in 90% of hotels, so I did not have a back pain. The room was very clean. The bathroom was reasonably clean. Quuet hours are 10pm-7 am, however one neighbor wad talking over the phone and laughing loudly at night for about an hour so i could not sleep. In my humble opinion such guests must be fined.

The room was clean and well-cleaned, so I was able to stay comfortably! It was also convenient to be able to charge my phone in bed! However, my room was on the first floor, so the noise of people going up and down the stairs and the voices of people checking out early in the morning made it difficult to sleep, which was unfortunate. Other than that it was really great！

It was comfortable and clean. But it was lacking. No fan or AC in the room and there was no soap to bathe. The check in process was fine, but really no soap was surprising. Also the staff could be friendlier.

No frills

Very small room but comfortable. Very noisy when people were congregating in the courtyard or by the gate (which kept banging loudly all night when people came through, which wasn't much fun). Unpleasant smell came up from the shower after using. Free parking outside the hostel was very handy.

Rotorua reception took so long to check us in. We had a long trip and just wanted to freshen up and get some rest. The shower gel and hand soap in my room was empty. Left to go to dinner then had issues with the swipe card so couldn't get back into my room, my room was on the other side of the building so had to go down & up more flights of stairs to go back down to reception but had to wait there for 30mins while others were getting checked in. Not my best stay at Haka House but other than that my room was clean and cosy.
