The Marion Hostel, hotel in Wellington

Located in the heart of the city of Wellington,The Marion Hostel offers a range of backpacker accommodation and features a rooftop terrace.

I always stay here when traveling solo. The wifi is good, comfortable private bunk beds, plenty of space to work and spread out. Kitchen is big (be aware there is no microwave, so you need to cook!) The location is safe and staff is always friendly. Some of the best bathrooms and showers in hostels I have seen worldwide. Top notch. Bring ear plugs as sometimes guests will talk on phones in the hall outside the dorms, otherwise it's very quiet and peaceful.

Very clean and comfortable room with table and two chairs and a well equipped kitchen area (fridge, 2 rings and microwave) to self cater if needed. Good heating/aircon. I had a quiet room on the back of the hotel. The continental breakfast was great with a fresh muffin too. Very close to the Wellington Eye Centre if you need to stay over as I did.
