Good location, washing and dryers were very good value.(available 24/7) Comfortable pod, Big locker - could fit my 40 litre backpack in well. Friendly staff, A break out area, fridge and kitchen open 24/7 Loved having a physical key for locker and room, Additional sink was helpful to top up water and brush teeth if the bathroom was occupied. There was a kettle in the room. Nice not having to leave the room to go to use the bathroom-bathroom was very modern with shampoo, condition, body wash and a hairdryer

Location was great, relatively close to several bus stops and walkable to a lot of places of interest. Check-in was easy and you can leave luggage for free. Room was much bigger than I expected so was pleasantly surprised about that.

I had a private room for 3 nights on the top floor and it was perfect. Clean and comfy with a small balcony. There were 2 toilets and 2 showers on this floor which was plenty and these were clean with soap dispenser and paper towels well stocked. The staff were really friendly and helpful too, even when i saw one staff member washing pots and tidying the kitchen because guests hadn't bothered. I'd definitely stay again

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    By far the best Hostel in Auckland. The kitchen as well as the bathrooms are always clean, the staff is friendly and the other Backpackers are respectful. It is a little bit more expensive than the other Hostels, but it is definitley worth the money.

    The hostel has everything you need and it´s location is the best in the city. Sky tower, AA centre, Supermarkets, Buses, Queen street and a huge variant of restaruant just a few steps away. Beds are comfortables and you have a box locker to place safe your belongings. The staff is also super nice and helpful and the place is full of backpackers all the time so you will get to make friends for sure.

    Very clean, very modern, felt very safe, loved the privacy curtains on the bunk beds, made friends even as a shy introvert, room felt spacious and quiet even with ten people! I stayed for a few weeks and couldn't believe how much it felt like home! Best hostel I've stayed in. Wish they were all this good!
