Beethoven House

Beethoven House  Wellington

Warning! All the nasty rumours about BH are true! Do not check in unless you are desperate or insane. If in doubt, check out the Hilton. Do your dishes. Death to defaulters! Smokers and litterbugs will be deported to Siberia or Singapore!” “Breakfast is around 8 am, wake up call starts 30 mins before”
 
“Good morning, possums! The time is eight, it is very very late, breakfast is served in the music room. This is your final warning!”.
“Good morning ladies, gentlemen and possums. For those of you who arrived yesterday, welcome, those of you departing today - good riddance! Remember this - happiness depends on you - sometimes you expect too much from others, from the hostels, from your friends,… god only knows what you expect from BH. I say unto you: expect little, expect less, expect the worst. That way you won’t be disappointed. At this time we observe a tradition here in BH, one not observed in many places, but do remember you are now in the centre of culture and civilisation. I would like you to look around, smile, and say “good morning” to those around you. Now!
This might have been difficult for some. I also see some frowning faces - you must have had a disappointing night. I will now pass around some carrots and I want everyone to eat some, this will improve your miserable sex lives and revive your flagging libidos…”

One of the filthiest places on Earth, April 7, 2006 Reviewer: camelia from wellington, new zealand Pros: Nothing is best about it Cons: Everything     camelia saw things this way Maintenance    (1) Cleanliness    (1) Facilities    (1) Atmosphere    (1) This is a very scary place to go to. Don't even try to go there. And yes, they were right: You should be mad to live there. I think the host is on drugs or drunk all day long. There is no lock, he enters the room anytime he wishes to; he is rude, disrespectful and the price is not 19 dollars as listed, but 20 dollars; there is no breakfast. I am glad I just visited and not stayed there. It is just disgusting and those saying that it is a great place with lots of character, live like pigs at home. And they make you wake up at a specific time of the day. This is just ridiculous. Shame on them and on Wellington City Council for allowing them to do business. It is as disgusting and dirty as Rowena's House. Cristina
