The staff was helpful. They let us change to lower bunks - they even let one of us change to a different room to be able to have a lower bunk. There are rules to be followed but I think it makes it more liveable for everyone, especially when staying there for longer than just a few days (or if you just value sleep). People were nice and I liked that there's a combined lounge, dining and kitchen - makes the place quite social.

It would be great if the bathrooms were cleaned more often/thoroughly. It wasn't necessarily too dirty and it's vacuumed every day, but it seemed like bathroom bins are not emptied every day and toilets are not cleaned every day. They should at least be sprayed down every day if not twice a day. The bath mats also looked quite used and needed changing more often. The kitchen does not have a proper cooker. It's not too bad with the portable induction hobs, but it can get busy. That said, we were flexible with our time and always found space to cook.

clean bathroom facilities, v. quiet (for a hostel), nice clientele, community spirit (I was invited to a community dinner prepared by others in the hostel), and helpful staff.

The entrance is not hospitable- on a back street/alley and signage isn’t good- a bit hard to find.

Very nice, small hostel. Very clean and the beds are very comfy. Every bed has their own outlet. Owner is friendly :)

It´s a cosy place, there are a lot of people living here so it´s like a big family. The kitchen is fully furnished, the toilet are separated from the bath, and it´s in the centre of the city. The beds are comfortable.

You can not drink alcohol. When it is full the kitchen is small or the spaces to leave the food are full as well. The reception close at 14, and I think that is a little bit early.

The hostel was well kept. Good clean kitchen, comfortable living space, the air con throughout meant it wasn't stuffy at all even in the 8 person dorms. No alcohol allowed anywhere on site meant this is certainly not a party hostel, which suited me well as I just wanted somewhere quiet for a few days. A little bit out of the main bit of Auckland CBD, but not miles away.

Location could be a little more central, and a bit hard to find on street parking nearby. The upper bunks could do with a place to put smaller items while sleeping (e.g. phone)

Good location, walk to Symonds St cemetery, Domain, K Road. Easy access from airport with Supershuttle. Comfortable, clean, all facilities good, kitchen well equipped. Late check-in easy.

Nothing to complain about. Even for granny sharing with twenty-something age group. Stairs up to reception manageable.

Nice accommodation with well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The cleanliness was fine and there were shelves in the showers to put things on in addition to the rakes. That was really great.

It was very anonymous and the common room was not really inviting. I generally missed the hostel lifestyle.

Staff were very friendly & accommodating, especially Awa, the Manager. Small boutique hostel in a quiet neighborhood. Very secure building. Daily cursory cleaning to keep things tidy.

Super clean only on weekends, Fri-Sun, by cleaning crew. Don’t like the carpet in the room. No window dorm rooms. One of the part time staff was in my room & despite given written notice to tidy her corner, her piled of stuff strewn all over on the floor blocked the small walking space in the room my entire stay except for my last 2 nights!!!

Very quiet hostel, I didn't have problem with sleeping at all. The person in charge was helpfull when I needed proof of address for creating a bank account. Very good location in the city center!

The property is clean and quiet. A great place to stay if you are looking to meet new people. It is located in central Auckland close to shops and bus routes. The facilities are clean and so are the rooms.

The communal area is on the smaller side but it does make it easier ti interact with others
