9.2 Excellent
Pros: The front desk staff was so nice. Toilet and bathroom separated, with very privacy.
Cons: Even the 20 people bedroom is very nice, but there are not so many windows, so it’s not a “light” room. Bathrooms are very small, so if you’re taller than 1,60m you may feel uncomfortable taking your shower :P but there is other bathroom in the house, for special needs. The cabinets are very dark and tight, they are wooden under the bed.
7.0 Good
Pros: It was close to the center- 30 minutes walk.
Cons: It was quite loud place (highway very close). Internet didnt work at all, even there was information provided that it is no lomit. We could not even do the cheick-in for the flight next day as the webpage could not load.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: Great location, within walking distance to the city without being right in the centre of it, staff available 24/7 which helped for our 3am check in, clean rooms, big enough for our 3 night stay.
Cons: Parking area very small, it did the job but hard when full, book well in advance. Rooms stuffy, hard to get air to circulate even with the fan but not entirely unbearable. Still had a great night sleep.
4.6 Okay
Pros:
Cons: Booked the parking in advance but when we were there no parking was available for us. Promised to sort up the parking for us as soon as possible but of the all hassles at the end the parking issue had not been resolved. We ended up parking on the street with car being towed away. The car parking system is extremely poor . In addition, the security is fairly poor too as my partner accidentally opened the wrong room with our room key.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Convenient location, clean, well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms serviced daily.
Cons: Noisy location ( people and traffic). Demolition work going on close by
4.2 Okay
Pros:
Cons: I don't understand how this place is rated highly anywhere. It's definitely not a 5-star hotel; heck, it's not even a 3-star. I've stayed at the subpar YMCA nearby and this is it that with a bathroom. I tried to do laundry and half the machines had unattended laundry and the other half were out of order. It's not the worst but I don't think it's accurate to rate it high by any means.

Pros: Good location
Cons: Building demolishing work next to the hotel

Cons: The dorm was very small and there was a weird smell in the room, but all the common areas were so awesome! :)
7.0 Good
Pros:
Cons: My only complaint would be the people talking outside the property. I appreciate it's on a busy street and you get city noise, etc. but users of the hostel also congregate outside till the early hours of the morning talking and laughing. Great that they are having fun but when your room is above them, it can be annoying.
10.0 Excellent
Pros:
Cons: Don’t get the room next to kitchen if you are a light sleeper. Don’t expect that you can get a quiet night after 10 pm when the kitchen is closed. Cause the staff will come back to open the door and clean the kitchen around 12am.
7.7 Good
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.

Pros: Cheap, very good location and easy to find. Helpful staff but...
Cons: The property was too loud at weekends and we had a room with a sky light but couldn’t be blocked up so we were awake when the sun rose at 5am every morning. Water kept going hot and cold in the shower. But you get what you pay for!
5.8 Okay
Pros: The staff were nice. Location is great. Lots going on. Great communication as well.
Cons: I stayed here 6 years ago for a week and sadly the standard has dropped a lot. No improvements had been made. The bed were so nosy. But everything you needed was available. The showers were also dirty and needed updating. It's in an amazing location. The staff are nice. The facilities itself just need some TLC.
5.4 Okay
Pros: Good location and very friendly helpful staff
Cons: It was my first ever hostel stay, was hoping they were not all going to be like it. Pictures were definitely not a true image. Very grubby carpet in my room and shower was a trickle. They did say they would look into it. Next hostel was a total dream after that.

Pros: Staff seemed helpful.
Cons: 2 showers were broken. Wifi barely worked. My lockable drawer under the bed was broken so I couldn't lock away my valuables. Bathrooms need more ventilation.

Pros: The location was great, really well located in the center of the city. Our double room was a bit small, but it was clean.

Pros: Very good and central location, and the staff was very nice.
Cons: There was no AC and the windows weren’t able to be open, so the room was very humid and smelly. The stinky shoes in the hallway did not help. The ceiling was starting to go mouldy and the bathroom was tiny for the amount of people on the level.

Pros: The staff were pleasant and the location is close enough to the city centre to be within walking distance but far enough away that it was a peaceful night.
Cons: I booked this hostel as it was relatively close to the city centre and said it had free parking. There was free parking on the street but the car had to be moved every 2 hours during the day, which isn't ideal if you want a day out.

Never was told that the office was closed between 1 and 4 and missed it by about 2 minutes...conveniently they had already ran off the property and could not come to check us in. Also when dropping our packs off in the morning we were treated like we shouldn't have been there and was stared at like we had two heads. What an awful receptionist, terrible manners and maybe should look for a different job if she doesnt like working in hospo. Also met another couple who was going through the exact same situation as us.

Pros: The staff was really nice and helpful and the location is very convenient, steps from shops and restaurants, close to the skybus for/to airport and the intercity bus Terminal.
Cons: The property is poorly maintained. I had a single room which was the size of a storage room, had no window and no ventilation and the room was located in a corner with other 3 rooms with a fire door that blocked even more air flow. The bed was uncomfortable and the sheets were pretty dirty. The walls had holes in it. At least they provide a fan but unfortunately it did not help much
