Haka House Christchurch

This is my second stay at Haka House Christchurch, safe to say it is the best place I could stay for at such an affordable price. The place in itself is very clean! The bedsheets, bunk beds bathrooms are always clean, and it is great! The location is top notch, only a few minutes walk to riverside market and all the fun shops, museums, etc. I stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and it cost me around 160 NZD, rounding up to 40/night.

My stay was super comfortable and I am so glad I chose Haka House. I booked one bed in a 2-room dorm and stayed 3 nights. When I arrived, the person already in my room had put the heating on in the room (it was 19°C outside!) and I asked if there were any fans available. They had another room available and accommodated me that way instead; the only one available was at the staircase and next to the bathroom, and despite the slightly greater noise, I was much more comfortable in a space where I could open the window and have it open all night and close the curtains without any issues. As a solo woman I felt safe and I never worried about my things because I could put a lock on the storage lockers. Privacy 10/10, Safety 10/10, Cleanliness 10/10. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent location in the heart of the city. Sharp, alert, passionate staff. Very well equipped kitchens, and excellent common areas to relax in. Comfortable beds in nice rooms. Clean, spacious, highly recommended.

Rooms were modern, clean and tidy. The shared bathrooms were of the type that had shower, sink and toilet all together. Plenty of table space in the common rooms adjacent to the kitchen. Has more than one kitchen. The private room had a kettle which was good for making tea, fridge, and a tv. The beds have shelving that is well suited for placing your drink and for charging devices (has usb port as well as plug). The location is very good as it is only 10mins walk from the city centre and bus station. Right next to the hostel is the Arts Centre that is in a converted school/university building: has many food trucks, exhibitions and a art house cinema. Very pretty and safe area. Friendly staff.

Loved the location, convenience and facilities provided within. The check-in process was seamless with the staff at the counter and having the door card makes me feel safe in this space. It was my first time staying in a backpacker's lodge where shared rooms were used but I felt extremely safe and comfortable.
