Ian New Zealand

Really friendly staff Clean environment and super quiet. Ended up getting the whole room to myself Really nice people around and super chill area

Caleb New Zealand

Snooker and tennis in the lobby, which is interesting.

Enkhtsetseg Mongolia

The room is not particularly big but you still can have some privacy for an unbeatable price. WiFi is great, room was clean and neat, all the major transportation hubs incl. Britomart and Airport Express stops can be reached within minutes.

Gyorgy Hungary

So far the best hostel experience in New Zealand. Clean, spacious, no obnoxious drunkard clientele, decent WiFi, AC plug directly at the bed, even a small fridge is installed in the room. Combine all of this with decent room rates and you get how a hostel in the 21st century should look like.

George Hungary

Great location!! Was easy to walk around and see so much of the city.

Viviana United States of America

Very clean facilities, friendly staff and there's good environment

Maria New Zealand

The staff who were on whilst I was there were very friendly and managed their job well. The room was tidy and the people who were in my room were really respectful of each other.

Callum New Zealand

Everything, the hostel was clean with big common areas and you could bring your own drinks, there was a pool table which was fun.

Matias Chile

Friendly hostel with common space as you enter. Clean facilities and felt secure. Walking distance to the centre of the city and shops/cafes/restaurants also nearby.
