Central location with well-equipped facilities and friendly staff.

Unfortunately, the WiFi was not quite strong enough throughout the property.

Spacious facilities, tidy.

The windows did not close, fresh air entered all night, being close to a party street the windows did not insulate the noise because they are old. The sheets had fungus and we noticed it the next morning. I couldn't sleep well, it's cold and the bed has fungus. It is not equivalent to the price of the room.

perfect 1 night stay

can be noisy cuz directly at K Road

just like pictures, my stay was incredible, staff was really nice and willing to help, I didn’t wanted to leave! definitely recommended

k road is very near the centre but really loud at weekend nights

Good location, communal areas were clean.

Next to a bar and the windows are not sound proof at all, even with ear plugs you could still hear the noise until early hours in the morning.

great location

Convenient location, walkable to city center / Ponsonby / Newmarket / Parnell Dorm beds allow some privacy thanks to curtains + each bed has its own lamp and electrical plug A lot of free food (left by previous backpackers) at your disposal in the kitchen, also well equipped kitchen The hostel collects items backpackers don’t need anymore to give away to arriving travelers so you could find something you need for free (clothes, travel guides, books, ..), they also gave free SIM cards Staff was nice

Cleanliness in the bathroom area could have been better Some dorms (including the big 20 beds one) were at the underground level The hostel lacked a place to hang out at night as the kitchen/sitting room was close for cleaning every night from 10pm to 11pm

Location, facilities super, staff nice.

earlie check out 🫣

Very comfortable beds.

Clean, easy to get to

price,staff

loud outside

First experience of a hostel. Not in a rush to repeat.

No sleep. Outside noisy most of the night. Hard work pushing luggage from transport centre to location of hostel (all up hill). Very busy place, lots of people and didn't know where to find anything or what the facilities were (i.e poor reception).

Great facilities and common area. Free tea and coffee. Nice curtain on bed.

The dark curtains on the room window. It is hard to wake up when it is so dark. I feel that it is not necessary when you have the bed curtains.

people, staff, ambient, location

maybe just a better kitchen ! but it was great

Nice rooms with a lot of space. The bed was comfortable and the hostel was nice and clean. In general, it is a really good hostel.

The bathrooms could have been bigger, especially the showers.

The room was nice. It was clean and had a good bed. The attached bathroom was also clean, and had soap and shampoo. There was a setup for late check-ins too, I got an email that our key would be in a key locker, and I received the codes to get into the front door and the locker. The only thing unclear about the email was that it mentioned two different room numbers, whereas we only had one. We could temporary store our luggage after check-out too, so we didn't have to keep our bags around the whole day before we left for the airport.

On arrival, the promised key for the room was not actually there! Since the reception was closed, we didn't really know what to do at first. Thankfully one of the guests knew how to get into the reception, check the books and give us our key. The walls were quite thin, so you can hear the other rooms/outside. But we were prepared for that, and the other guests were quiet at night.

Nice comme area (kitchen/lounge) Nice bunker beds (intimacy)

Closing the kitchen/lounge at 10pm The basement smelt bad Showers were small over small
