• Reception is open between 7 am and 7 pm every day!

  • While we try our best effort to make your room ready before 2:00pm, we can't guarantee availability prior to our standard check-in time of 2:00 pm. We would be happy to offer an early check-in if your room is ready! Please contact our reception to request for early check-in.

  • The check-out time is 10:00 am.

  • If you expect to arrive after 7:00 pm, please contact themarionhostel@gmail.com and we will email you instructions.

  • We’re more than happy to mind your bags before and/or after you check out. We have a secure luggage room that you can use between 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM. We are unable to store luggage overnight.

  • Of course! Wi-Fi is provided in rooms and in all our common areas. It’s free (as it should be).

  • STREET PARKING

    There is plenty of short-term parking in front of The Marion and on surrounding streets. Check the meter for times and charges. From 8:00 pm to 8:00 am (Friday 10:00 pm to 8:00 am) it is free and usually you can always find a spot just in front of the hostel. Perfect option for staying one night.

    PARKING LOT

    For longer stays, we recommend the Taranaki Street Parking Lot (green and white building next to the Les Mills gym) which is about a 5 minute walk away. You can find prices and information on this parking lot here. Your best choice is an early bird ticket for $14 per day (you will need to arrive between 5.15 am and 10:00 am and exit before 8:00 pm or pay the overnight charge of $5).

    FREE PARKING

    The closest free parking is on Oriental Parade opposite Carlton Gore Road.  This is at least a 30 minute walk from the hostel.

    For your check-in/check-out and to load/unload you are welcome to use our driveway.  This will make your arrival and check-in stress-free and we can discuss your parking needs afterwards.
