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!

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!

All hostels in Auckland

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.
