    Windows are so poorly insulated that it was freezing and you could hear all street noise including buses, people, cars, etc. it is a busy street and it did not make it easy to sleep. The heater didn’t work in our room so everyone was cold - could’ve been okay if the comforters were warm but they aren’t. The facilities are poorly cleaned - there is mold in the sinks and showers and the room smelled. We checked in late and as a result never got information about the hostel facilities and we weren’t able to get towels until a full day later. And unfortunately, the towels smelled like they hadn’t been properly washed or like they were very old and on their last leg. Neither is okay. I’ve never written feedback to a hostel and the only reason I am compelled to is because of how high the ratings are. If the ratings were mediocre, I would have had the correct expectations and no problems. This shouldn’t be rated as a top hostel.

    Communicative info after reception was closed.

    “Loud and Old”

    We stay for 2 nights and was so so loud. The hostel is in a street really busy & the people around that place are in another world. There was a karaoke bar next to the hostel and was extremely loud. Beside that our room was next to the corridor door so every time that someone opened the door you could hear it. The first night i almost didn’t sleep. To be honest i had been at another places in Auckland much better. The place looks SO OLD, this needs a renew urgent.

    Easy Check-In, double bed was good. The host was really nice and friendly.

    “Loud”

    The hostel is on a very busy street. From about 9pm-1am there was a group doing karaoke outside on the street with a boom box and microphone which kept me awake. It was like being right there with them. I could hear every voice on the street, the windows were so thin. Also I could hear every time another guest opened the doors, which clicked shut with a loud latch. Needless to say, I got maybe 1.5 hours of sleep that night.

    The rooms were clean and checkin was easy.

    Could pay a little more attention to cleaning the shower since the door had a bit of mold.

    The room in general was quite comfortable and with quite high ceilings, which makes it feel more spacious

    “Clean basic, fair for the price, but not somewhere I would want to stay longer than a night or two.”

    • Stayed 1 night

    At around 9:30am a male cleaner came into our "female only" dorm room, without knocking or anything to announce himself. Luckily we had just gotten dressed moments earlier otherwise this would have been even more uncomfortable. Not ideal. I know it's an old building, but the road noise through the windows was so clear it sounded like the windows were wide open, so it was pretty hard to sleep.

    It was clean and all we really needed for one night. It felt pretty secure and was good to have lockable storage under the bed for our bags too (have to bring your own lock).

    “An expensive stay, room with problems in the windows and fungus in the sheets.”

    The windows did not close, fresh air entered all night, being close to a party street the windows did not insulate the noise because they are old. The sheets had fungus and we noticed it the next morning. I couldn't sleep well, it's cold and the bed has fungus. It is not equivalent to the price of the room.

    Spacious facilities, tidy.

    There was a booking issue with booking.com but that is not the Hostels fault

    I liked that there were curtains for the beds for more privacy. And the double room was very nice and clean as well. The TV had Netflix and that was cool too.
