This is definitely the most cool Base hostel I’ve been. Beautiful to see, especially the main room. Comfortable and clean. The kitchen could be crowded but it’s well equipped and clean. Staff is nice and the only star missing is because of the wifi policy: only in the main room and actually so slow that it doesn’t work for the 90% of the needs.

Would never book this hostel again.
(+) Pros: location is good.
(-) Cons: They got problems with their door locking system. The stoves in the kitchen don't get hot at all maybe warm. The showers are sealed capsules where you can't really breath while showering. Their lifts don't seem to work too well either. The kitchen is crowded (maybe because cooking takes ages on these cooking fields). The wifi is very bad. The beds squeak and the thin cardboard walls flex strongly if it is windy outside.

I would definitely stay again. Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere, easy check in and out and very centred. I would recommend to stay for at least a few days to explore Wellington a bit - it's definitely worth it. They do have a few limited car spots which need to be reserved otherwise is street parking during the night for free (just google "parking wellington"). The reception is 24 hours and by time always open for a small talk. The rooms itself are clean, they have a big kitchen and even a travel desk.
Perfect location for Wellington's "must do and see activities" in my opinion.
And for everyone who likes to go out - The Basement Bar is downstairs and Courtney Place just around the corner.
I stayed a while and hope it's helpful for you guys to have an amazing time in Wellington as I had.

Ive stayed in Base for some time now. I really enjoy the atmosphere, I have found other artists to practice with in the hostel. The beds aren't bad at all, showers on most floors are really nice and comfortable. My only criticisms are the pricey laundry and the closed view smoke deck.

Its the best hostel i have ever stayed in newzealand. The room is nice and tidy and the bed was super soft. Especiall the toilet is really clean and also the bathroom are spotless. The pressure of water is really strong and also the hot water comes out well. All the facility here are so good
