Auckland Hostellit

Plussat: Super good!

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: Super tiny rooms.

Plussat: Friendliness, cleanliness

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

Plussat: It was quiet and clean.

Plussat: 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.

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

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

Miinukset: Messy bathrooms

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: Nothing.

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

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

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

Miinukset: 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

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

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

Plussat: Clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: I liked every moment there.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: Quite central location

Miinukset: There isn't famela toilet and shower on every floor. The kitchen is very small and not the cleanest. Rooms are also very small with not much storage for your luggage

Plussat: The facilities and the cleanliness

Miinukset: The staff was not the best. Not friendly

Plussat: Great location as I wanted to be near bus station. Room was simple but clean. Bathroom and shower rooms were shared and unfortunately they may have started off clean but there was a beer bottle, some female underwater and top left in a shower and other debris... Staff was friendly but the one issue was the level of noise in the hallways at night - people coming back inebriated etc. Had a feeling the shared spaces were used for hook ups. Have stayed there twice and felt this way both times.

Miinukset: The noise in the hallways during the evening - and the shared bathrooms and showers that were possibly used for hooking up.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: Nothing negative all perfect

Plussat: Quite central area

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: -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.

Miinukset: -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.

Plussat: Matress was good, social hostel with a bar and games 5$ a beer which is a good deal. Receptionist were nice.

Miinukset: Photos that you see on booking doesnt tell you the truth. Dirty room, cockroaches, small room for a 6beds dorms which sould be turn into a 4beds dorms, we could barely put one feet on the floor. Bathroom were disgusting, there are cleaned each 2 days(sometimes 3), pretty smart when there are around 30 to 40 people on the same floor, some days no warm water. Kitchen is well equiped, but only 3 fridges, oh yeah and there were dirty as well. Elevator sometime do not work. Ill stop there...

Plussat: I like the way one of the night receptionist treats people n he is so kind with respect, his name is STEVE n I'm here because him n without him I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here especial people from my country I don't want them to experience such experience I had here n if I have money to move out of this place I would done so.

Miinukset: staff don't care about people n some of them they don't have respect myb they think they're better because they are white n everyone deserves to be treated with respect

Plussat: vastanotto tiskillä hyvää palvelu. matkalaukkua varteen järjestettu huone- hyvää

Miinukset: toisista huoneista kuulu ääniä eli seinat ohut. puuttu naulakko, ripustin ja vaatekaapi, pieni pöytä ja tooli hissi liian pieni ja hidas

Plussat: The location and the ease of the check in

Miinukset: The noise from the bar

Plussat: Good location right in the CBD. Nice and air Conditioned. Helpful staff.

Miinukset: Showers need an upgrade, nowhere to place your things. Rooms aren't sound proof so you can hear your neighbour's pretty clearly, especially if they decide to play music loudly. Also the reception could lower the volume of the music a tiny bit lol.

Plussat: Staff very good

Miinukset: Ok good

Plussat: Nice hostelbar, the beds were good and a lot of opportunities in the hostel.

Miinukset: To less Plug-Ins in the room and the lifts were weird sometimes.

Plussat: Staff is excellent. Location is perfect. SkyBus stops at door.

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

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

Plussat: The staff is patient & helpful.

Miinukset: The bed was uncomfortable:(

Plussat: 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

Miinukset: 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

Miinukset: 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!!

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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

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

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: 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!

Miinukset: Nothing all was pleasant

Plussat: Staff were friendly

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

Plussat: Cheap but still not worth the money

Miinukset: Loud at night and filthy. Walls are made of paper. Kitchen was unusable.

Miinukset: 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...

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

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

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: Location was good in a very upmarket area. I had a spacious room. Wi-Fi was good. Showers were hot.

Miinukset: Kitchen. There seemed to be a film of grease on the counter. There appeared to be a lot of old food left around. In fairness, the Monday we left the cleaners arrived and transformed the kitchen, so maybe it was because we were there at the end of the week. The proprietor should make sure the facilities are always clean and not just once a week. The building looked as though it needed renovating and in fairness again, the day we left a painter started.

Plussat: Very clean. Hostel stuff is very friendly, but only present for a few hours. U can reach them via phone though.

Miinukset: washing mashine costs 4nzd in coins. Make sure u use the guest line to dry your clothes as the cleaning stuff will throw it to the dust bin if u keep it anywhere else.

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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).

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