Everything was perfect, and the people I met here were absolutely wonderful. What I especially liked was that the place wasn’t too crowded or chaotic. The manager was especially very kind, and I never had to worry about theft. The most important part is that the place was very clean. The cleaning and laundry for the bedding were excellent, and there was absolutely no need to worry about bed bugs. The accommodation was warm and cozy, and I learned from talking with other guests that the return rate is quite high. It was truly a great experience, and I would love to come back again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

By far the best Hostel in Auckland. The kitchen as well as the bathrooms are always clean, the staff is friendly and the other Backpackers are respectful. It is a little bit more expensive than the other Hostels, but it is definitley worth the money.

The hostel has everything you need and it´s location is the best in the city. Sky tower, AA centre, Supermarkets, Buses, Queen street and a huge variant of restaruant just a few steps away. Beds are comfortables and you have a box locker to place safe your belongings. The staff is also super nice and helpful and the place is full of backpackers all the time so you will get to make friends for sure.
