Rooms and facilities were very clean. No complaints. Higher quality hostel with more of a hotel vibe. Restaurant/bar on site which is handy. On the pricier side but as you have a kitchen you can save money on food as backpackers.

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.

The 4 bed mixed dorms were way better than the 6 bed mens dorms. I was fortunate to be in a room with very clean and tidy people. The staff is awesome. No nonsense, all business and straight to the point.

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.

    Very clean, very modern, felt very safe, loved the privacy curtains on the bunk beds, made friends even as a shy introvert, room felt spacious and quiet even with ten people! I stayed for a few weeks and couldn't believe how much it felt like home! Best hostel I've stayed in. Wish they were all this good!
