It was really good that they have a lot of common areas where you can work or chill, especially even it’s past midnight unless you stay quiet. They have multiple shower rooms and toilets. The kitchen is pretty big and the plates and utensils are abundant. The curtain by the bed is good to keep your privacy. The staffs are also really nice.

Everything was just fine, friendly staff, friendly people. Some of the rooms dont have windows, so check if you're booking a room that has one. Definitely worth few $ more compared to cheaper hostels in town.

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.
