Auckland Lylo
Lovely start with a friendly travel guide. Very clean, well organized, safety with keycards. Only odd thing was bed was King sized but the light switch was on one side and then in the middle of the bed. Otherwise everything was fabulous!

We found this much better than your average hostel and also quieter than we expected. We stayed in a private room rather than a pod, and found that to be very comfortable. Good location, well priced for what you get and decent amenities.

Okay if you’re sharing a room I guess
I booked a private room with ensuite and was disappointed. There were no windows, the sheets were synthetic and the bed was just okay. Otherwise the room was fine but way overpriced compared to other private options in the city.

Overall the stay was amazing. Online check-in. Kitchen and shared places very clean. As feedback the pod weren't isolated at all and you could hear everything. But the bed was a good size. Bigger than expected.
