All in all a very pleasant and comfortable stay combine with great location to make this excellent value for money. The communal spaces, including a great lounge, gives this place a surprisingly homely feel, considering the central location building. I stayed for 3 nights and would definitely go back. More

Stayed in this hostel for two nights. The location is ok. Could be better but if you don't mind walking, the city is in your reach. The hostel is a bit worn down but ok, the staff are helpful and nice and prepared to keep the office open if you're arriving late. The kitchen is (as they attend to be)... More

I stayed for 3 nights at bk hostel. The staff is very nice and helpful concerning your self organization. I didn't meet a crack on transport possibilities, local tipps for day trips, etc., though. The rooms and beds are rather small, clean and sufficient. Also bathrooms and showers are kept very clean. The internet (tomizone hotspots on the street) only... More

Me and my partner stayed here for 2 nights before flying home. We chose a room without windows as it was cheaper but ended up sleeping into the afternoon as we forgot to set an alarm and had no sunlight to wake us up! Still, the beds were obviously comfy if we slept that long! The hostel is in a... More

We stayed for 7 nights in a twin room. The room was basic but clean, we had a window and the heating worked well. The kitchen and washroom were cleaned thoroughly every day and we have no complaints whatsoever about the hostel itself. We even got a discount for staying for 7 nights. The staff were all very friendly and... More

In this hostel you have to be careful what kind of room do you book. You can end up with room without windows :-) The hostel is well located. It is nice walk (downhill) to the downtown of Auckland. Hostel is on Ka road - gay and transvestite area. Right next to the hostel is Subway restaurant and many Asian... More
