31 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Staff were friendly and welcoming, rooms and hostel overall of a good clean standard. The electronic keys are brilliant and much better than old fashioned key locks.

Disliked: Maybe a coffee/hot drinks machine would be a useful investment as upon arrival a hot drink is much needed before venturing out to buy provisions!

Liked: This hostel was very clean and the staff were super friendly. As we booked online we got a really good rate on a twin ensuite room. The kitchen area is big and the rooms are spacious. Location is good too, just off Queen St the main area for everything. Quiet hostel and also good place to meet other travellers.

Disliked: Cant think of anything....

Liked: This was the cleanest hostel i've ever stayed in!! Huge kitchen, comfortable rooms, clean linnen, beds pretty much made up for you, info about whats on in the city daily, felt safe and secure, all rooms have a locker, you just need your own padlock and I never had to queue for the bathroom!!

Disliked: Internet was 6$ph for wifi or 4$ ph for use of a computer but there was an internet cafe round the corner which only cost 1$ph!! The rooms staying on the fromt of the building were very noisy at night if you kept the window open, not as bad with it closed but you could still hear it! The rooms on the back of the building are more quiet but the windows don't open!!

Liked: It was not too far away from the town centre.

Disliked: I didn't think the bathrooms and showers were very clean. I sometimes felt as though the staff were trying to sell me products such as YHA vouchers even though I had explained quite clearly that I didn't need them.

Liked: It's the best in Auckland -- all the other places are worse. The walls are pretty thin. And kind of boring - but it is a YHA so the cleanest you'll find.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
