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!
