Safe and clean environment setting. The place to stay while in this region. ##### IEUFAKA EDOUARD-JOSEPH Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Leigh 30 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Well worth it The property is very centrally located. It is near transport, Queen St and shopping and restaurants. The room was fine. Jamie and Melanie were wonderfully helpful and friendly. Would stay here again. ##### Leigh Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma 24 Feb 2024 Disliked: Amenities I stayed in a private room, which itself was very clean and comfortable. However the remainder of the facilities left a lot to be desired. The kitchen is small and cramped for the size of the hostel, with insufficient items for use. E.g. I could only ever find 3 knives in the whole kitchen. Similar can be said for the dining area. The location was fine, though a bit of street noise on a Friday night. Seemed that those in dormitories were given their bedding on check in and had to make up beds themselves. Seems odd to me. Staff on the front desk did the bare minimum. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 17 Jan 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not the safest building Despite emailing to confirm a late check in and being told it was fine I arrived in Auckland at 04.15 to receive a message saying I hadn’t sent ID (which I was not told when I reconfirmed my late arrival via email a few days before). The French receptionist wasn’t welcoming, I felt guilty even asking questions. My main complaint is the lift and emergency exits. The lift takes a long time to move and often doesn’t stop in order of who has pressed their floor button (which was annoying), I tried to use the staircase and noticed nearly all the emergency doors were locked - what if there was a fire? All you have if a dodgy lift to wait in. The room done the job, shower and toilets too, clean and quiet. But the building needs to be made more safe for everyone there- guests & staff included. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jo-Anne 25 Nov 2025 Only lounge area in lobby. Dining area far from kitchen. Staff were great though. ##### Jo-Anne Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It's not really family friendly because it isn't a place for families with young children to stay but for solo travellers or backpacker groups. But it is safe and a good place to stay for minors thanks to the strict no alcohol and smoking rules and the level of security and protection the guests have with the keys and curfew. There was good amount of room for food to be stored in and the kitchen was spaced out well and not too crowded. Everyone respected the rules to keep things clean and tidy. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent location Great front desk staff.
