Au top, super bien situé, confortable et le personnel est sympa. L'ambiance est agréable et la cuisine très bien équipée (juste des poêles qui accrochent mais ça c'est partout comme ça).

Everyone there is there to live as you’d probably of guessed, room had a bit of a whiff even with the windows open constantly but what can you expect with 12 people in there, kitchen and bathroom facilities good all in all, would prob stay again, good location near bus stop

Good central hostel in Auckland, staff are friendly. The kitchen is good and the facilities are very clean, not the most social hostel but still a nice vibe

The hostel should really do a better job matching roommates. I was the only girl in a mixed dorm for both nights I stayed here and was put with several much older men (at least 40+, some 60+). They also slept in their underwear and there are no curtains, so it was really uncomfortable and there were no rooms for me to switch to. Overall facilities are fine but it felt more like a retirement community than a hostel. Someone even washed their dentures in the sink one day. I wouldn’t stay again.

Super point de départ ou de retour pour votre aventure néo-zélandaise. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut où il faut, les sanitaires sont en nombre suffisant et régulièrement nettoyés. Le staff est variablement souriant mais toujours très serviable. L'auberge de jeunesse est située en plein cœur de la ville, difficile de faire mieux pour une découverte urbaine. Et l'ambiance est agréable et apaisée avec la possibilité de faire des rencontres et d'échanger si désiré. À préférer 100 foi...

Staff kicked A**.. hard working and friendly. I love it’s all on ONE FLOOR! Men’s bathroom HUGE, well lit and plenty of showers & toilets. (Left over soaps to use) Kitchen, well layed out. (& again, various condiments leftover). Community fridges Bedroom. Mattresses a bit metal springs. No interior Luggage lockers. Gym lockers in hall to use. Bedroom doors have keys if you want Location. Only 5 min walk to Food Store. Thousands of food places all over! Great place. I...

Overall, nice spot, though hard to find! Nice outdoor seating area, huge kitchen with good base pantry that visitors can use, and clean bathrooms. The rooms didn't auto-lock and roommates usually didn't bother to lock them so if that would bother you, this may not be the spot for you. But overall I felt very safe. Great book collection too!

Amazing time with great people! Only complaint is that it got pretty hot in the room at night with no AC, but it was survivable

Alles gut nur die Küche war jeden Tag zwischen 10-12 geschlossen wegen Reinigungsarbeiten, was für mich eine blöde Zeitspanne war.

there were a lot of people staying long term and not there to socialise compared to other hostels but very clean and nice otherwise!

Probably the best hostel in Auckland. I stayed here twice and had a great experience. Perfect location, clean, and very well organized. It’s a bit expensive, mainly because the kitchen equipment is quite old, but otherwise it’s worth every dollar.
