Lovely homely hostel next to a beautiful park, definitely one of the best city hostels I stayed in. Nice, clean, and quiet, the guests were all very respectful and relaxed. Campbell the owner was really kind and fun to chat with. Thank you!

It was really good that they have a lot of common areas where you can work or chill, especially even it’s past midnight unless you stay quiet. They have multiple shower rooms and toilets. The kitchen is pretty big and the plates and utensils are abundant. The curtain by the bed is good to keep your privacy. The staffs are also really nice.

The room and bathroom are super clean and fresh, and the staff are warm-hearted and friendly, always ready to offer advice and help. The daily hostel management is clear and highly efficient as well. The location is peaceful yet close to Auckland CBD, Newmarket, Mt Eden, and Parnell, making transportation very convenient. I’d say it’s the best hostel in the city!

I had such a great time at this hostal and would definitely stay here again. Everything is super clean, showers and bathrooms are cleaned three times a day daily! Bed was super comfy and clean too. The kitchen is quite big and there is a lot of stuff, so that it is possible to cook without any problem. The hostel also offers basic spices to cook, free coffee and tea. It is also easy to meet other travellers in the common area. The staff is super friendly and it feels such a good vibe there, that it feels like home!

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.
