Liked: The location was really good, being in the town centre

Disliked: Everything was very loud. Bedding smelt bad. Heard running water all night from the pipes above. A number of people staying there warned me about theft as staff weren't locking doors.

08 March 2010

Liked: The hostel is right in the city centre which is a plus, but the rooms are smelly cause a lack of airco. One very small window in the room. The bathrooms are allright, but in need of some refurbishment. The staff is friendly but even behind reception a lot of backpackers who just don't know much about auckland. Asked a few questions and the staff was looking it up in the Lonely Planet. They need some professional staff behind reception. Kitchen pretty small, but allright. I stayed 3 nights, but didn't extend, went to the YHA which is better

21 January 2010 Christiane would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent place with very super cool helpful stuff which is always helpful and concerned about you. I have never been to a hostel where you get Free Food and so much help in every case. Also the Location is fantastic, if I rate it overall it is for sure one of the best places I have been in Town. I would highly recommend that place to people who are able to accept the Japanese way of living. The atmosphere is very familiar and is a silent place in a city full of trouble. Enjoy your stay - Christiane

Liked: Really good location, right opposite the sky tower. Staff are helpful and friendly and there are loads of leafletsetc on stuff to do. Bathrooms are clean and fans in the bedroom. People sleep in the reception and tv room and there are signs up everywhere saying do not disturb which we found a bit strange!? Never got into the tv room beacuse there was always people sleeping there?
