I lowkey think this is one, if not the best hostel in nz. Campbell is a great guy, the rooms are clean and the beds super cozy. Only thing I didn't like was the doors.

100 meters from 3 cool bars for easy night time fun and lovely cafes and restaurants too for daytime enjoyment. Room was warm with oil heater, comfy bed and accessible shower.

I'd highly recommend staying at this place in Auckland! The owner is very nice & helpful & the whole hostel has a really friendly atmosphere. My room is great & the whole building is lovely & in a good location so you can walk to where you want to go easily. I also got parking outside the building which I'm really pleased about 😊

Close to lots of cool things to do or j...
