The location is good. The room was comfy. There are lockers for each bed and cupboards as well. You can use a PC if needed (I haven't, so don't know how to use them and if they're free). Curtais at each bed, so one has more privacy when sleeping.

The kitchen is a bit small. The hostel wasnvery busy (there were 3/6 people in my room) and I think if it's busier, it might be complicated to cook and find a place to eat. Also, short office hours, so if you work or hike all day, it might be difficult to find anyone. A bit expensive for a hostel.

Way better than expected to be honest, people in the reception are very nice, very comfty bed, the room with a fan because AKL can be warmsometimes, and with windows, which is importan. Toilets and showers always clean and a lot of them thru the 2 levels. Totally recommended

the location was the best. right at the heart of the city. A few meters away from the Sky Tower. The beds and rooms are comfortable too. the beds are arranged in such a way that privacy an still be maintained since they are not in front of each other. with curtains too along the beds and a big curtain by the window to keep the sunlight off for when you wish to sleep till mid morning. There is a fan in the room too when you wish for a little circulating air inside the room.

The toilets could be cleaner. The bathrooms can be kept dry after each shower. I noted one was so wet on the floor it needs cleaning. The toilet bins need to be emptied every so often- there was some lady napkins inside a bin that made the toilet smell. it was that time of the month. Also, there should be notice that the toilets and the dorm rooms are co-ed meaning both males and females could use it. Just a warning. Some might be sensitive about this.

A good option for cheap travellers. Staff and other travellers are nice and don't disturb you. The place is pretty clean. You can reach all touristic places by feet, easy to get to this accomodation via the public transportation. There are fans in the room - you will get a comfortable sleep with a nice temperature!

Not comfortable to get to the city center and attractions from the accomodation using public transportation - recommend to walk and see more beautiful places while you do it. There is no space to securely hide your stuff - no lockers :( But your things are pretty safe, as it is hard for strangers to get inside :)

Honestly a hostel with one of the best atmospheres I have ever witnessed. Very friendly staff and positive social energy in the kitchen/living room area. If you’re either here to make new connections or just chill on your own, it‘s a perfect hostel in my opinion. The rooms are very clean and the people in the room very quiet when you need your rest. The kitchen is well equipped and your own storage system is well designed. Felt very safe too!

I don‘t have a single thing to complain about in all honesty.

Kitchen and dining room area. Bathroom facilities are amazing. Busting to go toilet not an issue. Showers and toilets galore. I really love the quiet peaceful nature about the Lodge. Very soothing and relaxing. The laundry is good keep clothes clean and room smell nice. Great sleep and nice to be among positive people and not say anything. The Wairua tino ataahua. Mauri Ora 🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾

It appears that there is nothing I found I did not like so moving on...

Very friendly staff, good location, good shower, clean room, comfortable bed, big storage space for your luggage. The male receptionist was very nice and helpful.

Housekeepers are hard-working people, but I don't know why they left the door open for such a long time when they're not even coming back to vacuum the room immediately. I was very concerned about the safety of my personal belongings tho. Since the door of my room was right in front of the public area. Like, anyone could just walk into the room without any effort and take anything they like.

The staff is helpful. The cleanliness is good given the amount of people staying there. Good and cheap washing machine and dryer. They have an inside storage place for bicycles!

The location is superb. Right at the center of CBD. Almost. All is reachable on foot. WIFI is fast. No problem. People on the inside follow rules for the most part and are quiet during curtains down time.

No free soap and shampoo for taking a bath. You need to bring your own. Bring your own towel as well. There are people on the outside who shout curses at each other which could possibly distort your sleep. So bring your own earplugs for sleeping tight. Other than these things, all are okay.

I really liked the bedroom, the bed has plug, light and courtains, space to put luggage, the toilet is big and never crowded. Although I saw people complaining about the kitchen it was pretty clean and ok. They have couches and tv in common area which is in the same area as kitchen and dining room. Some people were living in the city and others were travelers but everyone was pretty nice. Oh! They also have space with table for computers etc.

There was no access to the room but through stairs. That is usually ok but I had big suitcases just before leaving the country so it was quite uncomfortable.
