Auckland Hostels

Pros: Great location

Cons: Need more common bathrooms. There was just one bathroom on each floor

Pros: The location is very central. Walkable distance to the main attractions in the city. A lot of cheap places to eat nearby and direct bus to/from the airport, just down the street. Really recommend

Cons: I had to wait a while to check in since they only had one receptionist and since they gave me a temporary key to get through the front door, I had to come back to the receptionist to get the key to my room when the room was ready.

Pros: Good location close by to everything and downtown

Cons: Nothing was good!

Pros: Bathrooms are nice and clean. Bed is comfy. Staff are friendly and helpful. All in all, 9/10 YHA.

Cons: Room space is not bad but im sure there is better way to arrange it. Those sofa chairs are really unnecessary. I have to put my luggage in the middle of my room which is quite inconvenient. And, with laundry you can only pay by card but personally I will prefer pay by cash.

Cons: Messy bathrooms

Pros: Everything was so clean and the reception team helped a lot.

Pros: This is at the heart of Auckland CBD, just by the Queen st which you can find shops, restaurants and cafes. It’s also near from a Sky bus stop. The room and bathrooms are clean and staffs are helpful.

Cons: Rooms were tiny and the shared bathroom did not have anywhere to put your clothes etc whilst showering, also had a broken window and it was very noisy

Pros: Good atmosphere in the social area. Good breakfast deal. Clean toilets and facilities.

Cons: Shelves above the pillows on the beds made it very awkward getting head under and a risk of sitting up in the night and banging head in the twin room. Kitchens on the floors were very small but don't think there are many long term stayers.

Pros: I was upgraded in a single room. The room was very confortable and clean. Showers and toilets were also clean. You took the breakfast for 8 dollars and it was good value.

Pros: Location and friendly staff

Cons: No negative comments

Pros: -Clean facility (rooms, beds, hangout area, bathrooms, kitchen) -Kitchen facilities worked. Majority of kitchen items were included (pots, pans, lids, cutting boards, utensils, etc.) -Decent location. Could access queen street in an instant. -Nearby asian market sells super cheap groceries for travellers on a budget. -Super awesome cleaning staff. -Had 0 problems with the bathroom and shower facilities.

Cons: -Nothing special about the desk/ reception staff. Not welcoming. Just didn't seem to care. Stereotypical employees who are only there for the paycheque, doing the bare minimum in terms of customer service to keep their jobs. I received better customer service from the cleaning staff.. how that makes sense I don't know. Little bit of a reorganization at that facility is in order. I'd be more inclined to return if I was greeted and managed by a cleaning staff member. What a joke. Also poor English by some of the reception staff. I have no issue with ESL but for a receptionist at a hostel.. c'mon.. lol. -Small kitchen. I am not joking when I say that there was a line-up for hostel clients standing outside the kitchen to cook and clean. Couldn't believe some clients were cooking up 3 course meals. You're in a hostel.. ramen with veggies then gtfo. -Strangest client base. I'm not quite into my 30s yet, couple years to go, and I feel old staying in a hostel. There were groups of 5-6, likely the same family, all of which were in their mid to late 40s. In have 0 problem with a diverse crowd at a hostel, and this is just to warn any future goers that if your uncomfortable sharing a dorm or facility with a 40yr man with a beard then I'd avoid. -Poor lounge layout for meeting others. Environment was very cold. Would not recommend if you're travelling solo and looking to meet other people. -Clients have to pay for Wi-Fi. And it's not a flat daily rates it's based on the number of MBs or GBs you can afford. It was something around $30 for 10GB. -First and last hostel I stayed in while in Auckland. My recommendation is to only choose this location as a last resort if your preferred choice is unavailable. At least it was clean and comfortable.

Cons: The room wasnt the cleanest, had to make your own bed etc. but for the price you pay its fair enough
