Location!

10/10 Exceptional

For the price, it’s the best! The staff prioritize cleanliness and have certain rules that make staying in the shared pods even better. I have literally no complaints I stayed there for 3 days. It was peaceful. Thank you! I’ll definitely visit again in the future.
Rosy, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's not luxury but for the price It's good. Staff is very nice and people are generally quiet and respectful of others. Across the street from the Sky Tower, around the corner from a grocery store, and right down the street from Queen St.

I could hear the water running through the pipes fairly loudly in this particular room. Earplugs might be needed if you struggle with needing silence to get to sleep.

Suited my needs. A good spring clean in certain areas would not go amiss
Lisa, 6-night trip

The hot was was unreliable and the bedding was too light and small. I wouldn't stay there again.

The bathroom stall doors on 3rd floor men bathroom needs adjustments to close properly. I will book here on my next time in Auckland CBD. Close to Sky Tower and convenient Sky drive bus to and from airport. Also, safe environment at this establishment. Friendly, informative and knowledgeable staff.

8/10 Very good

Staff indeed is helpful including tourist information. The cheapest hostel in town, you get what you pay, good value for money. Wifi even on the 3rd level is connected well. Kitchen is provided with plenty of cooking kitchenware & tableware
Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Since I am an Aucklander, I pretty know the area much. So, staying here in these areas is not a deal. The staff are accommodating and friendly.
Jenssen Anthony, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is good, but...
The room was dirty full of dusty and some rubish left from the last occupant and the bed were to small for me and theres a loud noise at night from some pipe. The shower is horrible it feels like a tap o the wall and you must be lucky to get hot water.
Romulo Cesar, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hot water for a shower is an issue. I had to run the shower for a minimum of 15 mins before hot water would come through.
Carmen, 4-night trip
