Few unpleasant guests

CBD Location, Clean Facilities,

Stayed in July 2025

It's a little creepy looking from the outside, and that carries through inside. The room itself was fine but the beds were not very comfortable, you could feel the springs. The bathrooms were a little dirty, and the shower was hard to work (the handle system was strange). It was fine for a night but I wouldn't stay there longer, I feel like you can find better in Auckland for not that much more money.

It is conveniently located

Excellent location but premises are very run down. Mixed clientele with suggestion some are down at heel locals, not travellers. Inadequate security resulted in a ‘stray’ sleeping on the sofa in the common space.

There's a lot that could be better but that would increase the cost to the client and I don't think it would bring in more customers due to its location, the basic furnishings, walls, bathroom, kitchen, etc As I said earlier, I did not expect more as I only wanted a 'cheap' night's accommodation so long as the premises were safe and certainly the lock on the bedroom door was very efficient.

I did not expect the accommodation to be more than "fair" due to its location - there was a man lying in the doorway. I was pleased that I was able to be taken up to the 4th floor via lift even though it was after 6pm as I would not have managed the stairs. There was no towel offered or other facilities such as crockery/cutlery in the kitchen - or I couldn't find them! I had to call reception to locate the stairs down which I would come to leave the hostel at 8.30am - the operator was very helpful.

Broken lift, place is run down, birds flying around the kitchen facilities and landing on all the surfaces, not enough cutlery, water leaking from the fridges and in the fridges, outside and inside of the building is seriously run down, the dorm I was in was next to the balcony where people smoked and chatted till the early hours. No where to hang your towels in room, needs lamps per bed. Way too pricey for facilities that were provided.

Location and lots of space in rooms

The place needs some money spending on it. The beds squeak like crazy and feel like they are about to fall apart. Was expecting hostel.vibes but there was no atmosphere and there was a significant proportion of the people staying there that made it feel like this was a half way house

The price and the kitchen facilities

Where do I start, people always seemed to be blocking the small doorway sitting on the steps making entrance difficult. At night not sure if a club to the right as it goes down stairs, so may be why people there at night. Reception on 1st floor I couldn’t see the directions easily. Lift to 4th floor only, my room on 5th floor next to roof terrace. No toilet/bathroom facilities on 5th floor, no security door to rooms other than room door. Although are security doors on other floors, I know this as had to use bathroom facilities on 4th floor and door is close at night so you have to use a code to gain entrance. Not the easiest thing to do in the early hours when your desperate for the toilet! Room consisted of a small metal bed, a side table and what looked like a small book case. One door may have lead to the terrace but it was locked. 3 temporary hooks on the door. Window cracked, could open but then you got the smoke from the terrace. Room not very clean, although bedding was. Ceiling light had the electric cover off!

Location near park and art gallery not too far from harbour or sky tower

The location is perfect! I had a private single room which was tiny but clean and nice, with a great city view. Shared bath areas were clean. Loved the rooftop deck. Check-in smooth and easy. Overall great vibes!

I wasn’t allowed to enter due to an invalid ID. I had only an 18+ card which is normally accepted but here I was turned away. I wasted $100 on money I couldn’t afford to spend to be turned away. If it wasn’t for the kindness of a friend I would’ve been homeless. No refund either. Disappointed and dismayed.
