For the price, it’s the best! The staff prioritize cleanliness and have certain rules that make staying in the shared pods even better.
I have literally no complaints I stayed there for 3 days. It was peaceful.
Thank you! I’ll definitely visit again in the future.

It's not luxury but for the price It's good. Staff is very nice and people are generally quiet and respectful of others. Across the street from the Sky Tower, around the corner from a grocery store, and right down the street from Queen St.

Since I am an Aucklander, I pretty know the area much. So, staying here in these areas is not a deal.
The staff are accommodating and friendly.

Hot water for a shower is an issue. I had to run the shower for a minimum of 15 mins before hot water would come through.

The room is under a septic flush and every time the toilet flushes it always making a loud noise. The hose of the septic has a water that is dripping down the bedroom.

Windows in my room were open when I arrived - on a rainy day - bed was very wet from the rain. Thin duvet - got cold at night. No rubbish bin in [private] room. Toilet stalls don't properly close and/or don't lock. Shower doors have wide gaps through which you can see straight in. The building doesn't feel maintained or cared for. Many security cameras everywhere.

I have stayed here many times. Very good central location and good prices. Some rooms have fans and I was happy. PLease put fans in all rooms now as it is summer. The manager Muhammad is a very responsible, mature person and very helpful. Another very helpful and nice staff member is a South African guy. The other staff need training for better customer service. I was made to wait twice to check in as the staff was busy counting the shifts collection between 2.30 pm and 3,30pm. I was very tired and wanted to check in at once as I was coming from overseas. If that is the case , please write in the instructions that from 2.30pm to 3.30 pm the office is closed. To make customers wait especially when they are tired coming from overseas is not good and has never happened in any backpacker I have stayed in NZ and overseas.

This place is awful. Holes and half painted walls, grubby rooms and bathroom, and the kitchen is filthy. Didn't even want to put my bag down. Security is bad, homeless people living there trying to grab spare beds, just walk into the rooms as noone locks behind them. Got zero sleep as ambulance arrived 3am blaring their horn to be let in? Also the bedding was a sleeping bag...

Først overnattede vi på et værelse med en dobbeltseng der var alt for kort til os, på det værelse lå der brugte vatpinde der vi kom ind. Anden gang havde vi fået et værelse med to senge. Stikkontakten på værelse var fuldstændig i stykker og hang næsten ud af væggen.
