Each bed had curtains and dedicated sockets, bathrooms are in decent condition, kitchen space is also fine to cook and eat. It was quiet and felt safe. Location close to the CBD and the skybus.
Without aircon rooms get incredibly hot. There is no recycling possible.

Hobson Lodge is definitely one of the cleaner and better organised hostels I've ever stayed in! I really loved how organised things were - it was great to have not only dedicated cupboards in the bunk rooms (one is lockable if you have a padlock) but also personal, numbered cubbies in the kitchen, which I've never seen before. My bed was super comfy and it was great to have a curtain for private space. As far as I could see, each bed had a socket, light and phone holder. I found it to be a nice peaceful and quiet environment, which was probably helped because the hostel was only about half full. There are clear rules posted about quiet times and people seemed to stick to them, and the sound insulation was great; even with loud music playing in the kitchen, I couldn't hear a peep in my room only 10 metres away. Finally, shout out to the cleaner who I saw there every day making everything spotless!
It would be nice to have hooks to hang (wet) jackets on. I came in soaked one day and didn't have anywhere to hang my coat except for on my bed. I also didn't see any recycling bins so ended up saving it to take with me.

Classic hostel on Auckland, nothing special but does the job. Big kitchen when plenty of seating space. Beds has curtains and storage space which is nice.
Shared showers didn't seem very clean.

Close to everything.
The reason we booked this place was because our group could be in the same room as it was our last day together after a year. We WhatsApp them and called to confirm we would be in the same room and confirmed a parking spot. They said yes to everything and that it’s all set. Get there on NYE and they said we will be different rooms. It was frustrating because that’s literally why we booked this place and it was confirmed by them. They said there’s nothing they can do and we wanted to stay somewhere else but wouldnt refund us and refused to get a manager to help. Later in our tiny room, another staff comes in and says we need to move our car or else it’s going to get towed. I had to show them the message that it was confirmed and then they tell us it will cost $20 which we weren’t told previously. It would be ok for a night. Annoying experience and wouldn’t recommend because of staff.
