if you are solo traveller, this is the best place for you! the price is unbeatable in Auckland city, great location there is a lot of good food places and clubs nearby! the cleanliness could be improved but its not that bad, the bunks on the bottom are very low and some of the beds dont have ladder to climb up to the top bunk, so that sucks but other than that this is a great place. if you are a solo traveler and only want a place to sleep and store your clothes, you should pick this hostle :)

Dirty room, upgrade, good reception staff”

I ve booked a single room for 2 nights as I had a super long travel to NZ. Unfortunately housekeeping forgot to clean my room. So I surprised myself on opening the door. Reception staff and Manager had been keen to put me in a Room with ensuite Bathroom. The location is super central and the terrace on floor 7 has amazing view. Beside that, the place would need a renovation! Being a Backpacker, I travel usually on lower budget and wanted to meet up with other travelers (did not find any Backpacker in 2 days here-everybody stayed in their room or was out in the city), therefore decided to move in another cheaper and vibrant place.

I was placed on a floor with no toilet or shoer facilities and had to use ones a floor below me. The shower doors look like they have never been cleaned. The bed was comfortable but the windows didn't both open and only then a small way which was insufficient given the heat. Good kitchen facilities and a nice rooftop area. Great location. Lovely staff who helped me out when I needed to stay an extra night. Need to make sure all facilities for showering and toilets are available and clean!

Budget friendly stay”

Booked a double room, no window. Upon arrival, staff at reception were quite friendly and welcoming, check in was ok, took a while to get the hang of the app for unlocking room, but manager on duty did a great job explaining the app. Unfortunately, when we got to our room, odours from previous occupants were still lingering. Upon further investigation, we realised our room wasn't clean, called front desk no problem. The manager on duty was clearly embarrassed but handled the situation professionally, apologized and upgraded us in to a double room with window despite how busy he was. The room, facilities and front desk availability is certainly good value for money. It was as expected. Of course, this is a backpackers so do not expect amazingness, great community of travellers and alike, low maintenance and easy going. I did like the initiative of asking guests to chip in by removing their bedding etc and put in laundry on their way to check out.
