Auckland hostels

Pros: Super good!

Pros: Cheap option for private bath and walkable to everywhere in CBD. Lots of shared lounge areas but no AC. Sunscreen and bug spray available for use at front desk. Luggage storage available for free.

Cons: Super tiny rooms.

Pros: Friendliness, cleanliness

Cons: Having to walk up the hill to get to the hostel...

Pros: It was quiet and clean.

Pros: The hostel is within walking distance to many parts of Auckland including Symonds street cemetery, which is a bonus. Very close to the pick up and drop off point for the airport bus.

Pros: Exceptionally clean, very comfortable and we'll equipped. Kitchen area is very cozy and perfect for socializing.

Cons: If you book late or day to day you might need to change rooms every day.

Cons: Messy bathrooms

Pros: Super clean. Nice staffs. Big locker. Confit bed!

Cons: 2 super slopes. Too hot in commun room. May get a bit hot during the day and night. Door is banging too hard when closing. 2 old separate tap for the sink.

Pros: It was an amazing experience staying there in YHA, and for sure, if I travel to Auckland again, I would stay in the same hotel. Also very friendly and supporting reception members, and very helpful.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: I like the free towels, wifi and washing detergant

Cons: There was a stain on one of the sheets and the air conditioning didnt work

Pros: Nice facilities, lots of room, nice staff.

Cons: Storage room doesn't have cameras, my coat got stollen. Also every time you want to extend your stay you need to change rooms, so you have to check out before 10am, then place your stuff in storage room and wait till 2pm to check in again

Pros: Only stayed here one night in transit. Hard to comment on more than just the room. It was clean and comfortable.

Pros: We did made our breakfast in the great kitchen.

Pros: Clean and comfortable.

Cons: I liked every moment there.

Pros: I liked that the hostel was very clean, that there was a big kitchen and that there were several common areas. It was nice to have a light and electricity outlet by the bed, although my charger + adapter didn’t fit into the outlet.

Cons: I didn’t like the location, because it was quite far away from the intercity bus stop, as well as the main bus stop in Auckland for city busses. I also think 5 dollars is a little bit expensive for using the washing machine.

Pros: It was just a fine hostel. Little bit noisy but that was not really a problem for us. Location is convenient and not too expensive. So just a fine hostel

Cons: Very basic. There are two locations of the hostel. We were first in the wrong one, but while checking in in the correct location there were more people wrong. Maybe some additional info would help

Pros: Our stay was most enjoyable

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Hostel is in walking distance of the city center. Rooms are big enough for 4 people. Location is quiet at night. Place is very clean.

Cons: Nothing negative all perfect

Pros: Quite central area

Cons: Showers for the girls where really really dirty, the same for the kitchen. And I've never seen such a small kitchen for a big building, also no lounge to eat .. Rooms really small for 6 ppl... Really bad for the high price that I've paid

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: Location, friendly staff

Cons: Bad key card/elevator system Old and broken facilities /appliances Alcohol ban & fine

Pros: Great! Everything is more than expected.

Pros: The staff are nice and will help a lot!

Pros: The bed was comfortable and we had our own bathroom. One staff member was good.

Cons: Everything else.

Pros: The facilities in the hotel are very good, especially with air condition, many other hostels do not have it. The staff services are very good and can meet various needs.

Pros: Close to all the attractions of Auckland and friendly staff.

Cons: Lots of shady characters hanging out in front of building, party noise all night long, and smelly.

Pros: The staff is patient & helpful.

Cons: The bed was uncomfortable:(

Pros: Location of this place is fantastic with loads of eateries nearby - cheap and expensive We had our own en-suite which was fabulous. The staff were very helpful and very friendly and nothing was too much trouble

Cons: The other lazy guests who don’t clean up after themselves and who take much needed cutlery, crockery and glasses into their rooms - very selfish

Cons: Good location but, apart from the new carpet, a very run down and old building. Poorly maintained. Not even a proper bathroom on the first floor with sink and mirror to brush your teeth. Works going on in the rooms whilst people are renting the room!!

Pros: The staff is s super friendly and helpful. It is located in a very active area with lots of restaurants, bars, shops, atms... The bathrooms facilities were very clean and the rooms are very spacious. There are lockers in the rooms, just remember to bring a lock.

Cons: It's not the hostel per say but the people staying there, the guests. They use the kitchen and don't put away their stuff. They're really loud until late, the smoking area is too close to the non smoking area

Pros: the place was clean the staff is really friendly and helpful the room have a good size and the bed was in good condition

Cons: the insulation in the rooms is kinda deficient, in the nights might be cold, and during the day if is sunny outside, it will be like an sauna

Pros: Comfy and quite rooms

Cons: the extra night cost more than the first night. Asked how much to stay another night, $10 more than first night. So didnt stay again

Pros: Upon arrival I was welcomed by Vidhi in the office, she was really helpfully and made me feel very welcome. I was staying for a month and throughout that month nothing was too much for vidhi. Honestly would recommend this lodge to anyone travelling Auckland!

Cons: Nothing all was pleasant

Pros: Staff were friendly

Cons: Facilities were filthy, place was falling apart nothing was as advertised.

Cons: I booked this hostel because they said that they have a parking. It’s true but didn’t mention that not for every one. I had to park on the road so I could have gone in à other one. There is 2 level and on each level only one bathroom (1toilet and 1shower) for more too many poeple. It wasn’t really clean. And I didn’t have proper sheets on my bed. My pillow case was kind of really old not sure about how it was clean. And I only had an old brown blanket. Not even a sheet. So I won’t never go back there...

Pros: Location in Parnell great as you can walk into the city in 15mins. Plus lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Shared bathrooms clean

Cons: Minor detail but the check in process is very weird. You don't really see anyone while you stay, in terms of staff.

Pros: The bathroom

Cons: It was cold

Cons: לא להתקרב!!! There was a naked drunk man at the living room ,our door was broken when we got there we felt unsafe, bad location

Pros: Very cosy. In good location!

Pros: The Wifi was awesome, the room was quite big and had a fridge and a balcony. The lounge with the books was nice too.

Cons: The room had spiders in every corner and the bed linen had stains and holes. There were also ants at the fridge and the bin. I asked the staff to clean but they only changed the linen, spiders were still there and they told me they don't offer room service. Well I don't need room service every day but it would have been nice to have a room without animals. The bathrooms and toilets downstairs need renovation urgently but they had new ones upstairs. At the reception door it said reception times are from 9 to 12 and from 4 to 7 but actually the staff told me it's only 9 to 11. But they had a phone where you could call the staff and they always picked up quickly.

Pros: Early check in accommodated after arriving from airport and overnight flight at 9am! Extra blanket quickly provided. Very comfy bed with clean laundered cotton sheets. Lovely bathroom on ground floor with great shower (not so on lower floor).

Cons: The kitchen is a disaster area. Filthy, yet un- cleanable because of cracked surfaces and old equipment. No outside area, though photos showed it.

Pros: AS ABOVE.

Cons: ALL OK.
