“Will Definitely Return!”

As far as a hostel goes, this place offers quite a bit for as little as it costs. Full kitchen area (Buy or Bring Food to Cook & Refrigerator Storage Bag) WiFi (Hourly Charge is $3.00 NZD), Laundry Machines ($4.00 Wash/$2.00 Dry NZD), sheets on bed changed daily, very polite staff, free storage lockers under beds (Bring own lock or buy one for $5.00 NZD). This is a complete a-la carte facility, but for the price very well worth it! Room Key Deposit ($20.00 NZD Refundable), Laundry Detergent ($3.00 NZD), Body Soap ($1.00 NZD), Bath Towel Rental ($3.00 NZD) and much more. My lesson is to bring everything from home to save money, the bed, kitchen, storage locker, and usage of the shower are the only things included. - Will I return? Most definitely! - Enjoy your stay, maybe I will see you there?

Area recommendations
The Viaduct is just down the street, kinda expensive but has a lot going on during the weekends, lots of shopping nearby, a dry-cleaners around the corner, Domino's Pizza across the street along with McDonalds, Wendy's, Subway, and many more places to eat. The airport shuttle service ($23.00 NZD Roundtrip) practically drops you off at the door. Auckland is a wonderful place to visit, I look forward to seeing it again someday.
Getting around
NextBike rents bicycles for ($16.00 NZD) a day, the rental stall is across the street from the hostel, as cheap as it is, I must have ridden over 100 miles in a single rental. (Bring Your Own Seat) unless you are used to a very firm seat. Lock is included and optional helmet in the rental price, you can even leave the bike at a different location from where you've rented it. There is a free bus, but very limited area in the center of town, car rental is kinda pricey and parking a pain. - Have fun!

“Great place to stay and meet lots of great people”

Although I went for a shared room for 4 people it was realy great. I got to meet some great people who were also traveling or backpacking around new zealand. Each person can lock there bags and other items under the bed, providing security. there is also a fridge in the room. The beds are comfortable. The hotel also provides rooms for one person or room with doudle bed at a very resonable price if you don't wish to share. There is also the common areas on the main floor, the kitchen where you can prep your own meals, chill out lounge, tv rooms, internet cafe, job search office and a travel desk. there is also the balcony bar upstairs that provides drinks and an evening meal upon booking. all in all a great place to stay.

Area recommendations
I would recomend queen st because it has every thing you could possibly need, shops, cafes, general stores, buses and trains.
Getting around
In auckland the provide a free bus around the cbd. otherwise the buses, trains and ferries are not too far away and are a convienient way to travel
