Pros +
- Location! Location! Location!
- close to the CDB. the only good thing in this hostel
- The property was right in the central city and close to the sky tower, pretty good shopping, a movie theatre and not too far from the bars and restaurants in the viaduct basin.
Cons -
- it’s really dirty, smell bad and uncomfortable. there was a dirty pad in the woman’s shower. the other shower the lights was broken.in my room a alarm sensors bip the whole night. it was a nightmare.
- I’ve stayed in many backpackers throughout the world over the years and this one was particularly old and run down. Admittedly, it is in a very old building but the interior could definitely use some work.It didn’t smell that great either. It would benefit from some fresh new carpet (or even a carpet clean), new bed frames and new bedding (duvets, sheets) at the least.
- Nah all good - I just don't like sharing facilities - but for that cash, it's a great deal!!

The perfect location for me, a clean little getaway in amongst the hustle & bustle. Helpful staff

Only the location
The kitchen was really small and dirty, I didn't really want to cook in this kitchen. For the shower and toilet, it's acceptable but can be better. There are not really a lounge where we can sit peacefully.
Shower and Toilets very Untidy
They supposed to separate the toilets for female/male. I pay the same price which is $25 dollar with other backpackers and its usually clean and separate the toilets for female and male.
My friends and I really loved the location, just a couple of minutes away from skybus stop, very easy to locate and close to the city centre. As this was our first time to stay in a backpackers, we were really impressed with the place. The room was clean and comfortable. Wonderful staff and decent facilities. Thank you!
Easy check in staff always available
Noisy nightclub nearby
it was cheap for one night's stay.
there was what appeared to be a blood stain in the carpet of our room, a white stain on the bottom sheet , and the windows were filthy. I became unwell (unrelated) and due to the nature of the place I felt I couldn't stay. The shared bathrooms didn't have sinks, sinks were in the bedroom to wash your hands but with no soap available. The place was loud due to the other guests which is understandable, and ear plugs could be requested if needed.
Location is great. Staff were good. Washer Dryers were a bonus.
Dilapidated showers and whole place really.
The room was clean and staff were friendly. It’s not a 5 star but good value for money
Amazing, friendly staff. Always happy to help. And cant go wrong with $3 beers & cider!
Location, people were friendly
The place is quite shabby. Gloomy. Toilet - Lino cracked. Paint peeling off cistern and pipe. Curtain in double room needs to be heavier and longer to come down past the window sill. The noise outside the room from some type of refrigerator fan. The road work noise. I wondered why the receptionist talked about ear plugs. There is a lot of noise from machinery during the night. However I guess at $20 each a night it’s pretty good to get somewhere like that in Auckland to stay.
Awesome stay. Great value for money. Friendly staff and easy going homely atmosphere. Thanks
Poor
People smoke inside the building, just outside window
Proximity to a lot of transport options
Toilets need some cleaning
The fact it had all I needed.
How noisy it was. But that was the location.
Staff is so nice
Amazing staff
Bed was a bit uncomfortable due to the amount it's shook whenever the person on the top bunk moved
Very good
The only issue was the noise
