Love this place. Depika(-5 spelling) at the front desk is so nice and very helpful.

For a hostel I felt it was somewhat overpriced yet my room and view was similar to being in a tree house.

DO NOT STAY HERE IN SUMMER. Room was unbearably hot with no AC. Couldn’t sleep and requested to be moved to another room on the South Side at 1am.

Did the job for my one night in Auckland. The wifi set up (hotspot) leaves something to be desired. There are also inadequate places to sit/relax. There is one small kitchen that is on the third floor. I did enjoy that there was a fridge in my room, and that the cost for a 2 person female dorm was not much more than the rooms with more people/mixed gender - this was appreciated. The parking is $25 NZD daily, or you can pay hourly. The listing makes it sound like the parking is free, but this ...

simple yet convenient lodging in the heart of Auckland. Only issue was finding the entrance to the hostel and not the gym. Lovely staff pointed me in the right direction but better indication/signage for correct entrance would be appreciated

The staff were super friendly and helpful and let us store our bags for the day, as we arrived before our room was ready. However it’s an old building and the rooms are in need of a good renovation. Everything is just a bit old and because of this, doesn’t feel clean. Did the job for a night, but wouldn’t be racing back to stay there again.

good spot for the price. I had the single room on the 4th floor. was nice. bathrooms were clean too. neiborhood is about 2 blocks from a sketchy street or two, and if you want to go to downtown, it's on the top of the hill. so expect a walk up and down hill. it's near K road which is pretty neat for nightlife but also has its problems. I would stay here again. great deal.

I really liked the location and the atmosphere of the hostel. However, I think the kitchens are too small for the number of guests — it can get quite crowded. Also, one night a man was mistakenly placed in our female dorm in the middle of the night, and no one apologized until we went to reception to complain. One of the girls in the room had to insist for several days before the hostel offered us a free breakfast as compensation. It wasn’t a quick or proactive response from them, which was ...

Decent place! Wasn’t thrilled with the location at first but grew to like it - short walk to St. Kevin’s Arcade and bus stop with frequent busses. Not very social, but that’s fine. No lockers in the rooms but also didn’t have trouble with other guests.

The hostel is nice, mattresses are really comfy, showers are clean but not that practical (tiny, not a big jet, but at least hot). Kitchens are in my opinion actually not good, they were not clean and really small, not friendly at all and you don’t want to use utensils, there is not that much cutlery and things to properly cook. The staff is welcoming and they will nicely help you in case of need. The breakfast is finally what I preferred during my short stay here, only 10$ for a complete on...

It’s really not that clean and quite uncomfortable staying there. I also had a big bedbug problem had in my room so I had to change rooms to have a clean bed. The washing facilities are old and not clean either and I think for what you get, it’s actually quite expensive.

War überhaupt nicht sauber, und man musste sehr viel Kaution für Schlüssel und Besteck etc bezahlen. Außerdem war unser Zimmer total dreckig und die Handtücher sollte man in keinem Fall benutzen !!
