The dirtiest hostel i stayed in!

I had a very disappointing experience at Metro Adventurer Backpackers. First of all, the rooms are extremely dirty. It honestly feels like proper cleaning just isn’t a priority here. The floors, common areas, and overall condition of the rooms were not up to even basic hostel standards. The beds were also incredibly uncomfortable. You can literally feel every single spring in the mattress, which made it very difficult to get a decent night’s sleep. After long travel days, the last thing you want is a bed that leaves you more tired than when you lay down. Another thing that really affected the atmosphere is that there seem to be many older individuals living there permanently. It doesn’t feel like a backpacker hostel at all — it feels more like an elderly retirement home. This completely changes the vibe and makes it hard to connect with other travelers. On top of that, some of the staff have a very rude attitude. Not all of them, but enough to make interactions uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Overall, I would not recommend staying here unless major improvements are made in cleanliness, comfort, and customer service. There are definitely better options available.

5.0 / 10.0

Cheap and okay for one night

Close to bus station.

Noisy and a little run down. No staff on late entry or much instructions for which bed to take in a dorm. Dorms all pretty messy and chaotic. Kitchen areas a bit messy and chaotic too.

9.0 / 10.0

A great hostel.

Friendly and helpful staff. There are 2 kitchens. Half a block from Skytower. Bedroom has black out curtains and bathroom inside the room. Very clean, spacious ensuite bathroom.

The kitchen needs some updating like fresh coat of paint. Looks like people staying long term storing food on shelves with little space for other people.

If you plan to stay for one night its okay

In the room was no window which you could open. There was AC but as dedicated machine which was unable to cool the room down.

Disgusting standard of cleanliness. Don't stay here.

It's a central location but not a very nice area.

The private room we had was disgusting. It was literally an old broken bed with stained sheets in a dirty, stained, dusty room. We had never stayed somewhere so unpleasant. It had a pinned up towel as a curtain... We stayed one night as it was late and then left. The staff refused to give us a refund for the unused nights. There are large gaps under the doors so it's very loud all night.

Overall, I will say it's bad experience and that's the reason I checked out one week early.

I didn't anything with metro adventures

My trolley was stolen from reception and staff didn't even bother to check it out. They give values and good communication only to Girls who look pretty

8.0 / 10.0

Good overall

The staff are incredibly helpful and always ready to assist with anything you need, which really makes a difference. The hostel is clean and well maintained, with two fully equipped kitchens and plenty of fridge space, making it easy to store and prepare food.

The only downside, from a backpacker’s point of view, is that some rooms are shared with long-term guests and older residents.stays in the same rooms, and messy, which affects the backpacker vibe. If long-term guests and 60+ residents were placed in separate room categories, this hostel would be close to perfect. 👌🏻

You get the experience of what you have paid for. 🎒

Location and Staff.

Pillows on dormitory beds - I had to go to reception and have them replace it with a proper one. I hope management / Housekeeping manager finds time to make an audit with their beddings if it needs replacing. I understand that you pay for a backpacker stay - but should still not compromise comfort for the guests when they sleep for an overnight or so.

Good value in the heart of Auckland

- Great location in city centre. - Nice and helpful staff. - Good value.

- Not a single sharp knife in any of the 2 kitchens. Knives are so blunt it's actually dangerous to use them. Bring your own if you can.

Disappointing Stay Compared to Previous Positive Experience

Good location. Cheap price.

Having stayed at this hostel for six months previously without any issues, I was deeply disappointed by my recent three-night stay. The person in the bunk above me was constantly coughing and sneezing, which made me feel uneasy and unhygienic. He also repeatedly shook the bed, disturbing my rest. Additionally, he insisted on keeping the room’s lights off, even during the day, creating an unwelcoming environment. Other guests in the room were equally frustrated with this situation. When I tried to address the issue politely, I was met with rude behavior. I reported my concerns to the hostel manager, but he dismissed me with a smile and a casual “these things happen,” taking no action. The lack of care and professionalism was a stark contrast to my prior positive experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this hostel based on this stay.

Good location for a short stay in Auckland

The location is excellent, very close to the Sky Tower and public transport. The staff was friendly and check-in was quick and easy. The drawing on the walls are amazing.

The rooms felt a bit cramped, and the kitchen/common areas could have been cleaner and more organized.

It’s fine for a short stay, but the bed is really uncomfortable.

The staff were incredibly friendly, everyone, really, they try to give you advices about the city and jobs. The atmosphere was great, and the guests were very chill; you never felt out of place. And most importantly: the bathrooms and kitchen were always clean. Also, the location is super central, which made everything easy.

We stayed over a week at this hostel and honestly, if it weren’t for the uncomfortable bed (the mattress seriously needs replacing), the experience would have been much better

Pleasant

I had a pleasant stay at this property despite being a backpacker but It was very clean, room was tidy and staff were amazing from reception to the housekeeping. Tiny requests were met my reception, and will definitely stay in this backpacker again.

Nothing.

Premium location

Location, location, location.

Nothing I really intensely disliked, I got what I paid for. I see some comments complaining about aged facilities and vagrants outside but hey man, be ffr, that's the whole of Auckland CBD if we're being honest with ourselves 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's in the heart of the city and it is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️

Affordable, great location

Excellent location in the CBD. Private room was clean, basic though clearly was a dormitory room in the past, shelving was still configured for dorm layout. Staff was very helpful. Good choices of restaurants nearby.

Auxiliary kitchen is quite small and crowded (we realized too late that there is another kitchen at the other end of the floor). Would have been nice to control the ventilation in the private room.

Great location, convenient stay

Location was great, the ventilation of the rooms was great, clean & had a good sleep, value for money

The bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner, maybe the bunks could do with an upgrade to provide a bit more privacy as you sleep

10.0 / 10.0

I would 100% stay again the next time I come to Auckland!

Staff are very responsive for Kate check in, just call the number on the door. The LOCATION of this place is PERFECT!! It’s right by the Skytower…so no matter where you are in the city all you have to do to get back is look for the Skytower! So many things to do nearby, and also great food, even next door at the chicken place which stays open until 3 am. There’s a bottle shop next door also. A full grocery store about a block away. Pubs and casino are the next block over.

Don’t put anything in the FREE area of the fridge…it will disappear. Also, keep checking on your refrigerated items because other people will move your stuff the the free section and then it will disappear.

Good to meet people, nice staff but could be cleaner

The location is really good, really close to the sky Tower, the bus station, city center, Countdown,... Most of the staff was really friendly and helpful Met nice people over here Beer pong Tournament was nice to meet some people Tv room with Netflix

The kitchen is dirty and needs a deep clean and a whole new equipment. There is not enough space in the fridges or shelves. There are flies on some food boxes. The rooms are messy, seems like some long term don't consider others and take all the space/lockers No window in my room. Apart from being messy the room was clean and bathrooms are clean as well (just need some more soap or toilet paper)

Superb

Very reasonable rates, good helpful staff,polite. Sorted bed mixup no problem.

The construction outside around the city,what a mess. But place was fine.
