Liked: The location is good, the staff are nice, the beds are comfortable, the common room is good (pool table and large TV).

Disliked: Only has 2 showers and 2 toilets per floor, but in the 2 days I was there there was always one available. Internet was a bit pricey too.

Liked: The location isn´t bad, there are nice places to shop and eat in the area (esp.asian food and things).

Disliked: There is lack of WC and shower facilities (sorry but 2 showers and toilets for I dontevenknowhowmany rooms I didn´t consider sufficient). Free wifi or limited (1 hour/day maybe?) would do great deal in a facility like this. As would do small things like no charge for towels - 50c/piece does not kill anybody but..hey guys, you are not THAT cheap.

Liked: Kitchen facilities, bathroom and laundry all very good.

Disliked: Noisy EVERY night due to the bar just outside the window. Paid extra to have a room with a window which meant you could hear the bar and all the people driving around and shouting outside it until 3am most night! Maori rap anyone?!!

Liked: Good central location, had its own washing machine for guests. Other than that, nothing to recommend it - had to pay for internet, no breakfast, reception didn't open until 8.30 and check-in wasn't till 1pm. We stayed for one night when we had just arrived in Auckland - for that purpose it was ok but wouldn't have stayed longer.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
