This was literally the best hostel I ever stayed and I stayed definitely in over 50+ hostels around the world. Check in was so easy and very friendly staff, the room are nice, specious and clean, the beds are huge for hostel to be honest and very comfortable and quiet, no need to worry about noise in the night. There is light and electricity next to the bed. Also the door makes it very private capsule. Another nice touch was barber and coffee in the lobby with huge kitchen to cook own meals. It’s really paradise, can’t wait to return it again.

    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!
