I had a great stay at the Haka Lodge. I have no complaints with the facility. Everything was clean. It was close to so many restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. It was easy and convenient to get to the city or CBD as the bus is right in front of the Lodge. When our light fixtures wouldn’t work in two areas of the room, the staff as prompt in finding a way to fix it. I would say that I found the area safe. Where I come from, our homelessness and addiction situation is so bad, that walking around K road at night as two females was not uncomfortable and super easy as there are always people around. It can get noisy at night, but it’s the nature of being on a busy road. They also have a code to get into the Lodge to add security and peace of mind. I would have stayed longer if they had more room. I will say that if you wish to party, this is not the hostel for you. Everyone was very quiet, polite, and kept to themselves.
