A fantastic place to stay. The location is very peaceful and situated next to a park. The staff are fantastic. A social yet relaxed hostel. It is great for meeting people. There is a large kitchen, sitting room and a very peaceful back garden where you could relax all day. I would highly recommend staying here!

Aside from the code at the main door, the dorm door also had a key. It was clever to have the drawers under the bunk beds, a plus to have the curtains in each bed and I really like that they did not cram the room with more bunk beds, making it feel spacious.

Reading some reviews i’ve been expecting dirty place full if weirdos but i definetely disagree. ALL SPACES ARE CLEANED EVERYDAY. Bathrooms are not smelly, my bed was comfortable and reception staff is lovely and take care about you. Ok, there are some longstays but everyone is kind, you can feel safe there and i think that’s one of the staff main priorities. Maybe it does’t have a typical backpacker vibe but no need to overpay choosing other places if you’re here just for a while.

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.

    Very clean, very modern, felt very safe, loved the privacy curtains on the bunk beds, made friends even as a shy introvert, room felt spacious and quiet even with ten people! I stayed for a few weeks and couldn't believe how much it felt like home! Best hostel I've stayed in. Wish they were all this good!
