“Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers offers budget-conscious travellers a prime location within walking distance of Wellington's attractions. While the building shows its age and some shared facilities can be inconsistent, the rooms provide basic functionality for the price. I was particularly impressed by the staff's exceptional service, demonstrated by their willingness to return a lost item to a guest overseas, an act that speaks volumes about their dedication.”
