I didn’t see there was one on the counter because I have vision problems. There was no sign in the room. Second day I met the same woman, asked if there was WiFi and password, she said, go to the reception desk to see. She could have told me the password which is a simple one. The woman toilet room has some slot ran out of toilet paper for more than one day. The genitor seemed watched his cell phone a lot. Some travelers dumped their food into kitchen sinks, and some didn’t clean the utensils well or clean the mess they made. ##### Qingyi Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Duchess Wade Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The room I had no ##### Duchess Wade Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Location! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrew May 20, 2025 Leaking in the room.

Reasonably priced ##### Danielle Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Miss I Jul 11, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Worse place I've stayed 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... ##### Miss I Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daniel Jun 28, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Do not recommend not worth it ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ricki Lee Oct 18, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness Great place to stay, warm and safe.

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. ##### Rosy Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### skye Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Staff & service 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. ##### skye Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sudhir Nov 8, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Nice friendly staff.

Rooms super hot with temp control and only a fan to help you would not recommend the place ##### John Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy Oct 1, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff indeed is helpful including tourist information. The cheapest hostel in town, you get what you pay, good value for money. Wifi even on the 3rd level is connected well. Kitchen is provided with plenty of cooking kitchenware & tableware ##### Tracy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenssen Anthony Jun 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jenssen Anthony Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IEUFAKA EDOUARD-JOSEPH Feb 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The bathroom stall doors on 3rd floor men bathroom needs adjustments to close properly.
