Twin, Double & Single Ensuite · 2 Adults · 1 Nights

Can’t comment about the bunks for backpackers but our ensuite room was reasonably big, nice and clean (see photos). The room had a TV and a microwave which was perfect for us to prepare a quick breakfast before we started our day. The location was great as it was within walking distance to Te Papa museum as well. The only downside was that the beds were too soft for me.
