I recently had the pleasure of staying at Lylo Auckland Hostel, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. With extensive hostel experience across the globe, I can confidently declare Lylo as one of the best hostels I've ever experienced. First and foremost, Lylo boasts a new, chic, and modern atmosphere that immediately sets it apart. The attention to cleanliness and comfort is remarkable, making it a haven for weary travelers. The sleeping pods are an absolute game-changer, providing both privacy and a serene environment for a restful sleep. Despite its size, the hostel is expertly organized, ensuring that even with a full house, you never feel overwhelmed by the crowd. In fact, the ambiance often feels intimate, as if you're among a close-knit group of fellow adventurers. The communal spaces are vibrant hubs of activity, whether you're unwinding in the lounge, getting work done in the dedicated workspace, or mingling in the kitchen. While I didn't utilize the kitchen much, opting instead to dine at the adjacent restaurant, I appreciated its presence and the opportunity it provided for social interaction. Speaking of socializing, the nightly activities hosted by the hostel are not to be missed. From bar quizzes to engaging games, there's never a dull moment at Lylo. These events are perfect for meeting fellow travelers and forging new connections. Last but certainly not least, the staff at Lylo are truly exceptional. Always ready to assist with a smile, they elevate the hostel experience to new heights. Their warmth and professionalism make Lylo a shining example for hostels worldwide. In conclusion, Lylo Auckland hostel is a standout establishment that sets the standard for excellence in the hostel industry. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or new to hostel life, a stay at Lylo is an experience not to be missed.

It was really good that they have a lot of common areas where you can work or chill, especially even it’s past midnight unless you stay quiet. They have multiple shower rooms and toilets. The kitchen is pretty big and the plates and utensils are abundant. The curtain by the bed is good to keep your privacy. The staffs are also really nice.

The room and bathroom are super clean and fresh, and the staff are warm-hearted and friendly, always ready to offer advice and help. The daily hostel management is clear and highly efficient as well. The location is peaceful yet close to Auckland CBD, Newmarket, Mt Eden, and Parnell, making transportation very convenient. I’d say it’s the best hostel in the city!

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.
