4/10 Fair

We booked this property because it was a handy location, unfortunately we had also booked it because it said we could have 3 separate beds and because I was booking it for 3 students that didn't really know each other it was appropriate they have their own beds. I have just been told they were only provided with a double and single bed. This has put me in a rather awkward position. They were not confident to ask for this to be changed.

2/10 Poor

The urinals were blpcked and it was nkt cleaned for couple of days.. the shower prrssure is too low and no hot water.. they charge 50NZD for key deposit which is by card only and no cash and additonal 4% for using the credit card for the deposit and refund u the amount. But the conversion rates and the refund makes u loose approx $5. Better stay away there are better hostel for the same price.. highly recommend hobson lodge just next door with 100 times beytee facilities and staff. The receptionist working there is a backpacker so dont expect any service. Worst hostel stayed in NZ.

Good standard hostel, friendly staff. I found artwork on walls to be very interesting. Bathrooms were modern and kitchen was large with good seating area. Pool table, Tv rooms were good for entertainment. I will be certain to stay again.

Don't take rooms 1 - 7 as they are extremely noisy! Bring your own drinking mug! Narrow entrance way where guests gather to smoke so you run the gauntlet to get in. Friendly helpful staff and very clean.

Meh
Probably should have been cheaper for what was provided. Room smelled like curry and windows don’t open. The fan had a cord which was about two inches too short for the power point so not sure why they keep it there. Great friendly staff though.

2/10 Poor

Delayed flight so when I got there reception was closed, so I waited until 7am for it to be open, to be told I could not go to my room because people hadn't checked out yet, I pointed out that I hadn't checked in so the bed was empty, was then told it would disturb other people, for me to go into the room I paid for! Was asked to wait until 11am!

You get what you pay for. Waited 20 minutes at check-in before another guest went and found the front desk attendant who was not responding to the buzzer. Towels, soap, cups, and just about everything else you have to pay extra for. This is not a big deal if you are aware. Room and bathroom were not very clean, but serviceable. Good location.

Facilities were very good and clean. One of the only hostels in Auckland with it's own carpark a big plus. Staff were helpful at reception. My room was spacious and tidy. Other guests were good fun and we mixed well and went out on a pub crawl together. Wifi was included and unlimited, better than most of Auckland' hostels.

Time consuming for check-in and check-out as only 1 staff is working. The rooms is dirty. There's hair on pillow, rubbish in bin never clear, no toilet paper, left over water in kettle. Pillow is very thin and not comfortable.

8/10 Very Good

Good value
Short walk from the intercity bus station. Easy walk to sea front, shopping and main city area. Good cooking and laundry facilities, but locked from 10pm-7am. Many communal areas, plenty of communal seating, 2 TV areas as well as TV's in bedrooms. Alcohol allowed but not in bedrooms. Staff very friendly and helpful. Generally clean though a little worn. A good value stay for those who don't want to party.
