I actually stayed here for two weeks in separate bookings. The location is very good for the most part, you are right next to great bars, restaurants and various shops. It's also a short walk to supermarkets as well as Auckland city centre. The staff were helpful and extremely friendly, especially Marco. The kitchen facilities were much better than many hostels I've been to. There were two separate kitchens which was great so if you wanted to cook and one kitchen was full, you could always try the other kitchen. Both kitchen's have plenty of food storage space, seating and good quality utensils to use. The bathroom facilities were also great. Plenty of loos and good quality showers all with a modern design. Perhaps most important of all aspects when you stay anywhere is, the bed. I stayed in a four person bunk bed room. I was on the lower bunk and my bed was extremely comfortable. Definitely one of the comfiest beds I've slept on in the last few months. There were some good shelves to organise your stuff as well and a nice big window to let in fresh air.

The Location can be a bit frustrating sometimes. Due to the many bars and restaurants, on a Friday and especially Saturday night it's hard to get a good sleep due to loud people and music. While the kitchen facilities are very good, there's only really enough space in both kitchens for two plug in induction hobs. This means there's only enough space for 1-2 people cooking at once meaning if the hostel was at a higher capacity, you might have to wait quite a while to cook. I was the only occupant in my room for the majority of the time I was there and I used up most of the plug sockets in the room so if it was a fully occupied room then there would be a shortage of plugs sockets.

Room decent size - Had nice storage spaces. Good kitchen and bathrooms

Room: No window and fan not working and a bit smelly BUT they offered room change but the other was bigger with more people in it so I elected to keep the room which was empty for a lot of my stay. Cleaning at times people are waking up and wanting to shower and cook - a little inconvenient

Oh, I really enjoyed my stay at K Road City Hostel! The staff? Super friendly, like, genuinely nice and helpful. The kitchen? Perfect for cooking, had everything I needed. And the terrace? Such a nice place to chill. Everything was clean, tidy, you know, just how you’d want it. My room was good, had three beds, and honestly, the bed was really comfy. I slept great, no issues there. Just overall, a really solid place.

Well… honestly, nothing! I mean, I was thinking if there’s anything to complain about, but nope. Everything was just… good. Comfy, clean, friendly. What else do you need? So yeah, totally recommend it!

absolutely loved my stay here. clean bathrooms and showers with hot water! the dorm room was huge and the lockers were spacious. it was pretty empty /not many other people when i arrived so it felt like i booked a private room for the price of a dorm room (: the staff is so sweet and friendly. felt really safe walking alone at night in this area. lots of windows and natural light in the room. very comfortable bed & pillows. Strong WiFi. large kitchen but i think its a hot plate instead of a proper stove? I was in room 10 which is the first floor! there's two flights of stairs to enter the property.

nothing! i would say i didn't really see a receptionist often so if you have questions you'll have to call/text a number.

The attention of the reception manager I think his name is Pedro and a collaborator Aner was very comforting, when one arrives to a new country, they were always ready to help and they really made my stay easier in every way... procedures and other things that I thought would be much more complicated thanks to advice from them .... the truth is that they made me feel at home since my stay was long, the hostel was very well located was within walking distance of everything ... the rooms clean and comfortable.

You have to climb stairs with heavy suitcases and in my case I had 3, so it was cumbersome but it is because of the structure of the hostel that is on the 2nd and 3rd floor.

A perfect hostel for your budget, well equipped, clean and in a great location for exploring. The lady in reception is very accommodating and friendly, esp with the free upgrade (thank you!) . Even parking is convenient in the backalley if youre lucky enough to find a spot. Not at all crowded and comfortable to hang out in the common space. Miles above those with similar price range in the area.

Lots of stairs for those with heavy luggage, but shouldnt be a problem for backpackers

The staff was absolutely incredible. I was staying for 5 nights in a dormitory and they upgraded me for free to a room only to share with one person. I am so thankful for this! The hostel is super clean and has absolutely all the necessities. The location was very central!

K-Road (location) felt a bit unsafe at times, as it is one of the main roads of Auckland. The hostel itself was super safe and secured though!

Got an upgrade, so was in a three-bed female dorm and only had one roommate, which was nice. The bathroom facilities were clean and there were two kitchen to use, so plenty of space.

Both nights I stayed there, there was loud party music in a nearby bar/club or the hostel (I’m not quite sure) until 2/3 am in the morning, so no chance for sleeping.

Good price, many bathrooms, and a kitchen

The first room I had was smelly (mix dorm/small room/full) .. I switched to a female dorm it was bigger and I ended up being the only one after. There was a slight smell but I opened the windows everyday.

It has a lovely kitchen where you can prepare your own food. Bus stop is just on the other side of the road. Near asian groceries and restaurants.

One of the window in Room 5 is always open. So you can hear all the noise from outside in the middle of the night. Make sure to pack an earplugs
