great place and very good value to stay with good location and nice staffs”

I got a huge discount on Agoda making the price unbeatable that I had to book for several nights. It's clean and nice and especially the free breakfast is a huge plus. The only negative thing about this hostel is it's right by the street which can be very noisy during weekends nights, but again this is also the plus cuz it's right in the downtown area where everything is right next by. Also the most important thing is it's SAFE.

Expectations exceeded”

It is y first time to book in this type of accommodation and I may say I’m impressed. The single room is what I need. Though there are common areas like the bathroom, for me is not a problem. The breakfast is add-on. The staff is very accommodating. Will definitely recommend and book again when I travel to Auckland.

Without Agoda it would be to expensive, but great, helpfull staff. Great location. ”

Laundry cost 4 nz$ for wash + 4nz$ for dryer. Check out is 10 am. Breakfast is very simple with toast (peanutbutter/jam/butter and cornflakes (milk). Very kind staff. Possible to work there when spot opens up (for accomodation), location is right next to Queen street (bus station and train station Britomart close). Food and bars, supermarked, cinema, library in walking distance. Slept well, ask for extra blanket in winter! I might to here next time, but I might also check out another one to compare. Had a great stay!

Good Place to stay In Auckland”

This is a great place to stay if you want to stay in CBD Auckland as a solo traveler. I would personally recommend staying in a different area of Auckland such as Mission Bay. This hotel was ideally located for shopping and food. There wasn't any parking if you have a car or rental car so be aware of that as parking garages are very expensive. Overall the location was great, the price was fair, the facilities were adequate, and I'd recommend it if you this is the neighborhood you want to be in.

It's a fairly good hostel in a good location for a very good price, especially in winter. I've been here several times and it's got everything you need, a big common area and a basic breakfast. It can be a bit loud at night on the weekends as it's directly next to Queen street, but that comes with a perfect location right in the CBD.

I stayed in 6 bed female dorm which was clean and spacious and bed was comfy. There’s lots of noice coming from the street at night and music is really loud which might keep you awake but i didn’t mind too much. They could have more bathrooms and showers as there’s only a few. Kitchen was quite small but clean. Wifi worked well also in a room and they have free breakfast (toast and cereal) which is always nice. Good value for money.

The staff were really nice, didn't use the kitchen but the toilets and showers/wash areas were clean. Some showers are open, meaning you shower with other people and other people can come in to use the sink and there is also individual showers. The room I stayed in wasnt very nice but because the other people in the hostel were messy. i tend to find that with bigger hostels this happens. check in and out was easy. Free ceral/toast/coffee/tea in the morning. free wifi. It wasnt awful but it wasnt good either. Ive paid the same price for much better hostels.

We stayed here for 4 weeks in a private double room and within 2 days the room was that cold we went out and bought a radiator. The office offered us another blanket which we accepted and reception has hot water bottles for hire. Showers are great, laundry facilities are great, kitchens, common areas, and hallways were lovely and clean. Overall would happily stay there again and recommend to others (Just in the winter, maybe an extra jumper for bedtime.)
