Excellent location

The location is excellent. University of Auckland, Library, Queen Street, and Sky Tower is very close. I enjoyed staying at 10F single room with nice view of the clock tower of the art museum.

It's good value, but could've done with fewer stains on the floor haha.

8/10 Very good

There was an issue with an amenity listed on the Expedia app not being available for my room, and the other rooms were already taken. The company provided a partial refund to amend the missing amenities. I was disappointed to not have the amenity, but happy that the company took my complaint seriously and worked to improve the situation.
Douglas, 4-night trip

Great. Staff.
Sarah Jayne. Kristina., 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location. The hostel is more like a hotel with 3 floors for the facilities mixed with many more floors with several rooms each. My room was mixed and people made numerous disturbances.
Thomas S, 1-night trip

It was adequate for my requirements. A little annoying that staff were not on the front desk when I needed them!

Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

(stayed in private rooms) Simple room that was tidy and clean. Bed had a single duvet on it - would have been nice to have the option of more blankets when it was cold. Room did had it's own inbuilt heater though so not a huge issue.
Loren, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All good
Sze Ting, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth a stay

Dirty bathrooms and kitchen, not up to the standard in regards to the price. And towels to hire are 10 dollars, not very sustainable considering a new one is like 6 dollars maximum (and just feels a bit cheap to be far)
