Room for improvement

The staff were great and the hostel rooms were clean, but the rooms were cramped (you could barely open the door to get in for the bed posts) and there was nowhere really in the rooms to store your luggage that wasn't in the way. The room setup meant you practically woke people up every time you entered. The bathrooms were not very clean and by having the toilet and showers in the same room it seemed to lack enough amenities for the number of rooms. Great location for proximity to the airport which was all i needed at the time. I wouldnt like to stay for longer then 1 night.

The bathrooms were filthy and there wasn’t even soap in the bathroom to wash your hands. The bed was comfortable enough. I would only recommend staying here if you are flying in late and just need a bed to sleep. The bathrooms were so bad I didn’t shower here.

First of all, I had a super difficult time finding this place as I didn't have a map or any navigational aids. The check in and check out was very easy. The parking area is adequate if not a bit lacking, but I didn't have to walk far if I didn't find a spot in front. My 7 person room was full for the three days I stayed but the TV and kitchen area were always open and had space available to seat or make food to eat. Beds were comfortable and clean, although I had the top bunk for all three days. Bathrooms were private and showers had plenty of hot water. Now that I know my way around the Mangere area in Auckland a little better, the place is not so difficult to find and since I was there to go sightseeing, my stay was good enough for what I paid to have a place to sleep and shower.

I stayed in a dorm room, and it was fine for one night. Not glam, but you wouldn’t expect it to be! Bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms all clean and tidy. Everyone in my dorm room was just doing the one night before setting off to the airport.

The staff were lovely and helpful. The kitchen was clean, the bathroom was very worn and not super clean. The bed was worse than a pull out couch, with springs sticking out of it hurting my back. I wasn’t able to sleep at all which was pretty frustrating considering I had to leave for the airport at 5am. Also the linen was stained. I wasn’t expecting anything fancy for the price but a bed you can actually sleep in is important.

空港からの送迎バス(有料)の使い方も迷い、往復分のチケットを購入したのにホテルから空港に向かう際は無料のバスチケットをホテル側から出してくれました。事前に空港送迎についてメールで連絡のやり取りをしてたのにその詳細がなくて6ドル無駄にしてしまった事に多少不満はありました。 部屋はドミトリーに宿泊しましたが、とても狭く荷物を広げられるスペースもなくコンセントももちろん人数分もなければロッカー等も一切なし。エアコンもなく蒸し暑く窓が開いていましたがものすごい蚊で不眠と蚊の餌食でした。 掃除もシーツの交換のみなのか床・窓等とても汚く安やだけの魅力でもう次は泊まらないと思いますしおススメはできないホテルです。

Das letzte Hostel auf der Reise...das teuerste und qualitativ schlechteste Hostel. Bad veraltet...aber sauber. Bett muss man selber beziehen. Das ist nicht toll, wenn die Leute zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten und vor allem spät abends vom Flug kommen. Küche mäßig eingerichtet aber okay. Sofas und TV im Gemeinschaftsraum/ Küche. Im 2.Bad ist die Toilette vom Bad durch eine Schiebetür getrennt...diese ist aber defekt und aus den Angeln gerissen
