Hit Hostel

Worst hostel ever! Room have no window and no aircon. You may die of suffocation!

Friendly staff. Relatively clean. Guests are mostly tourists.

This is the worst place I have ever stayed at in Auckland. They don't state it in their listing but the hostel is in a basement with a club above it on one side and a retail store on the other. Both places play music day and night. LOUD music. The club plays their music during club hours. So, 2am you can hear loud music while the ceiling vibrates with speakers on top of it. Imagine trying to sleep next to a giant speaker in a club and that's it exactly. The manager is very nice and tries to be accommodating but there's nothing he can do about the location. Of course, if they included that fact in their listing- nobody would stay there. Virtually everyone who works there is from South America so Spanish speakers are allowed to be as loud and obnoxious as they want. The issue is it's a small place and they take up the common areas and the kitchen at all hours and are quite loud. They know they can do whatever they want so they just ignore the other guests and behave as loudly and rudely as they want. However, for the short time the manager is there during the day, they behave. That's it though. Between the obnoxiously loud constant yelling in Spanish and the nightclub blasting music nightly, this is not a place to rest, relax, sleep or feel comfortable. There are plenty of other less expensive places in the city centre to choose to stay. Please learn from my mistake and literally stay anywhere else to avoid the stress and frustration.

Hostel was clean, staff was kind - you definitely get your moneys worth!

The hostel is downtown near a bus station and it is very easy to walk around.

The staff is very helpful and friendly, and the rooms, being in a basement with no windows, are very dark and quiet and good to sleep in. Accommodation is very bare basic, as it’s a small hostel, and the vibe is definitely not social or party hostel but more like “it’s a place to eat and sleep.” The cleanliness was good too. Overall happy with my stay.

No window in the room and smell from sewers

Clean

good value for money. the neon lighting in the room was a funny , interesting novelty.
