The Marion Hostel  

Right in Wellington’s Te Aro district, a stone’s throw from Cuba Street and Courtenay Place. Steps from the Wellington CBD and within easy walking distance of Te Papa, Civic Square and Oriental Bay — perfect for city explorers looking for a central hostel base.

Housed in a fully refurbished historic building, The Marion blends classic bones with a social hostel vibe. The property has 17 individually decorated rooms, a rooftop terrace with Cuba Street views, communal living areas and outdoor spaces for swapping travel stories. Beds come with individual lights, power plugs and lockers; rooms include refrigerators and microwaves, and bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads. Towels available on request.

Take in city views from the rooftop terrace, rent a bicycle, or relax in the communal living room. Free unlimited Wi‑Fi keeps you connected, while tour/ticket assistance, a picnic area and on-site laundry make stays easy. There’s also a parking zone for guests traveling by car.

Complimentary wireless internet, multilingual staff, luggage storage and laundry facilities — handy for planners and longer stays.

A shared communal kitchen and in-room refrigerators and microwaves let you prepare meals on your schedule. Common areas are ideal for a morning coffee and casual social dining with fellow travelers.
