Reviews about Worldwide Backpackers - BBH

  I've stayed at quite a few hostels in central Wellington, and Worldwide is by far the one of I've found to be the most pleasant.
  
  First, let's get the basic stuff out of the way. It's location is pretty central (5 minute walk from Cuba Street), yet it's a much more quiet part of central Wellington, quite residential. The hostel is cleaned daily (including the bathrooms), I've never taken issue with cleanliness. I especially appreciate that the bathrooms always have hand towels and handsoap. The kitchen has everything you need, and though it can get a little messy at times, it's usually more than fine. The hostel does advertise having free WiFi, it is unfortunately quite unreliable most of the time (which is usually the case in NZ hostels). However there is a free to use computer, that can be used at anytime, that does have a reliable connection. If having a decent WiFi connection for your own devices is a priority, I would then advise finding a different hostel. Finally I find the dorms to be more than acceptable, they have good comfortable mattresses, warm duvets, and even draws!
  
  What I personally love about the hostel is the homely feel of the place, it feels more like staying in a villa with friends than staying at a hostel. Probably due to the fact that the hostel seems to be a large house that has been converted into hostel. Moreover it's very easy to make friends and talk to everyone. The lounge area especially is dangerously cosy, it's just like your average family home living room, nice comfy couches and big screen TV. It's easy to lose track of time and watch TV for hours on end. Probably also because they have Sky TV with tons of channel. I would also like to point out that the owners are genuinely nice and always very helpful.
  
  All in all, I would highly recommend the hostel to anyone staying in Wellington on a budget, as long as having a reliable internet connection is not vital. It's vibrant, friendly, comfortable and clean.
