HAKA House, great location for getting around the city, was super convenient with its automated check-in. Loved the bedside lights and plugs. Everything was clean, and the showers had great drainage. The hallways were a bit confusing, but still a great place to stay!"

They are really committed to the jail theme and there are a few fun activities you can do such as fingerprinting yourself or taking a mugshot. Also has various informative displays of the jail's history.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed a couple of nights in a single room with a shared bathroom. It was simple, but clean and comfortable, and it had everything I needed for a short stay. I also liked that the shared bathrooms were single occupancy instead of having to share a bathroom with several other people using different stalls, as I've seen at other hostels. The location was convenient, and it was easily walkable to everything I needed.

Great choice in the CBD of Christchurch

Three nights in Christchurch at the beginning of our stay in New Zealand. Nice folks on staff. Kitchen was well appointed and everyone was great about sharing/cooperating. Met some lovely folks, and enjoyed it. We hade a twin room. which was small, but we made it work. Would certainly stay here again if back in Christchurch. Oh, and a number 8 bus stop very close by and other bus stops for other busses easily in walking distance. You are vey much downtown, so many of the things on our to do list were easily walkable...

Had a very comfortable and convenient 4 day stay in female 4 bed ensuit room. Everything was great. Only issue I had was the noise coming from closing of doors out of other rooms with bangs and loud noises in the middle of the night other than that I had a lovely stay. I would highly recommend it.
