The room was big but it was missing a microwave. There was no place to hang the clothes in the bathroom. The communal kitchen was very messy - it seemed like it was never cleaned. Staff were helpful when needed.

The hostel wasn't the cleanest, but it got the job done.

8.0 / 10.0

It's not really family friendly because it isn't a place for families with young children to stay but for solo travellers or backpacker groups. But it is safe and a good place to stay for minors thanks to the strict no alcohol and smoking rules and the level of security and protection the guests have with the keys and curfew. There was good amount of room for food to be stored in and the kitchen was spaced out well and not too crowded. Everyone respected the rules to keep things clean and tidy.

There was an issue with an amenity listed on the Expedia app not being available for my room, and the other rooms were already taken. The company provided a partial refund to amend the missing amenities. I was disappointed to not have the amenity, but happy that the company took my complaint seriously and worked to improve the situation.

Despite emailing to confirm a late check in and being told it was fine I arrived in Auckland at 04.15 to receive a message saying I hadn’t sent ID (which I was not told when I reconfirmed my late arrival via email a few days before). The French receptionist wasn’t welcoming, I felt guilty even asking questions. My main complaint is the lift and emergency exits. The lift takes a long time to move and often doesn’t stop in order of who has pressed their floor button (which was annoying), I tried to use the staircase and noticed nearly all the emergency doors were locked - what if there was a fire? All you have if a dodgy lift to wait in. The room done the job, shower and toilets too, clean and quiet. But the building needs to be made more safe for everyone there- guests & staff included.

Stayed Thursday 12th Sept 2024 The private room was on the 10th floor and it was cold but the receptionist did warn me and give me an extra blanket. The lamp and wall plug were across the room / at the bottom of the bed so that was a bit annoying. I had come from LA over night so they did let me in to shower but charged me $5 + $5 to borrow a towel. The shower was luke warm but this morning was hot. Luggage storage is free. You must scan your key fob to access the lift/ elevator so that felt safe.

I stayed in a private room, which itself was very clean and comfortable. However the remainder of the facilities left a lot to be desired. The kitchen is small and cramped for the size of the hostel, with insufficient items for use. E.g. I could only ever find 3 knives in the whole kitchen. Similar can be said for the dining area. The location was fine, though a bit of street noise on a Friday night. Seemed that those in dormitories were given their bedding on check in and had to make up beds themselves. Seems odd to me. Staff on the front desk did the bare minimum.

Lovely friendly staff, good location. This is not fancy accommodation by any means but it will keep you warm & dry for the night!

The property is very centrally located. It is near transport, Queen St and shopping and restaurants. The room was fine. Jamie and Melanie were wonderfully helpful and friendly. Would stay here again.

Nothing horrible. Nothing excellent. Very loud and the lobby was disgusting in the morning. That did not effect me though so no big deal.

THE WORST. You wont get any sleep here, and we had a SCARY experience: 1- Walls are paper thin. You can hear every word. This is in a private room, so imagine the dorms!! 2- The temperature of the room was 14.6 degrees. No heating system (reception only had 1 small fan to lend guests). 3- Filthy stained ceilings and walls. 4- Scary: despite extending our stay and getting email confirmation from staff to stay in the same room, we woke up at 10:10 to find a tall man inside our room standing above me and my wife asking us to leave the room!! Not knocking, but coming in to shake our bed! I explained that we extended. We go back to sleep, and then an hour later another girl called Madeline comes inside our room and does the same!! The same girl who confirmed our extension in the same room! I told her that we extended, and instead of making us sleep in peace, she says she will go down check the computer and wake us up for the THIRD time!! She then proceeded to ask us to pack our belongings and move to another room DESPITE writing the confirmation email!! 5- Customer Service: I politely complain to reception about what happened, and these are some quotes i got: - "We are not resoonsible for you not being able to sleep" - "We are doing you a favour by extending your stay in the same room". - "You are lucky to get a room for this price" - "I am sure that girl was polite and she was just under stress". I had 18 more days booked but glad i cancelled them. *Contact me Eric*

(stayed in private rooms) Simple room that was tidy and clean. Bed had a single duvet on it - would have been nice to have the option of more blankets when it was cold. Room did had it's own inbuilt heater though so not a huge issue.

I'm sorry, but the only post I've thing I can say about this hostel is location. Okay, and maybe the wonderful country themes on the various floors...which I couldn't see because the fob takes you to your floor only. This place needs a lot of improvements, ie, lockers in the room, charging stations for each bed, curtains for each bed. Disappointing there was only two showers and two toilets for the entire floor. It was not a very clean facility, compared to other hostels. I dropped something under the bed (it was hanging on the bed rail near my head), and on the process of retrieving pulled up a huge dirty hairball. Seems washrooms are only cleaned once a day. I had asked for a bottom bunk prior to arrival. However, they gave it to someone else. The staff member was apologetic and managed to get things sorted...but this was due to the fact the person who had 'my' bottom bunk was kind enough to move. Some staff were lovely, others not so motivated. No maps. Some staff didn't have a clue on recommendations. Kitchen small. I didn't use it except to get water. Additional positives--they were good at responding to messages. From the point of security, I also appreciated that the front door was locked after a certain time.

Great location. The hostel is more like a hotel with 3 floors for the facilities mixed with many more floors with several rooms each. My room was mixed and people made numerous disturbances.
