The toilet was not working for 2 days, had to share one in the next floor with another hundred of girls, and it was very dirty! The internet was another chapter, so expensive and so slow! Don't get it! go to the nearest internet cafe and get it cheaper and faster. The location was a joke two, in the op... More

we stayed for 2 days in a cheap double room which was fine and relatively quiet. we really had to do laundry and the first night we went down we saw 2 of the 3 washing machines were reserved for staff and the third has sheets and hostel stuff in it anyway. the second day the staff ones were still...

The YHA city is pretty standard hostel fare for a city, reasonable sized kitchen, bedrooms/facilities okay.... but the beds are something else. We stayed in a twin room around the time of the rugby world cup Q finals, so the place was full. The bed mattresses are incredibly thin and the metal poles which make up the base of the... More

I stayed at this hostel for 2 nights. I spent the first night in a 2-share female bedroom - the guy at the reception offered me this possibility when I was trying to book a bed in a 4 female dorm. I thought would be a good idea; how far from the truth. The berdoom was very smelly (as the... More

One toilet + 2 x showers per floor! There must have been 10+ rooms per floor. This is youth hostel, to qualify yourself as 'youth', you have to climb up a steep hill to get to the hostel. If it wasn't for the free bus nearby, it would be in a bad location, 1.5km from Britomart. The buses run 6am... More

The YHA City of Auckland is at the end of queen street, next too the free city link bus station which make it really convenient to go around the city (and to the bus station, even early in the morning). This backpacker is not really a chilled out place, or a place you will make new friends : the only common... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in September 2011. We were given a twin room despite only paying for a dorm, so that was a bonus. The room was comfortable. The whole place had just re-opened after refurbishment, but there were still some areas of the hostel which were being constructed. We were unable to use any kitchen or laundry... More

I stayed here once about 12 years ago and it looks like they're still using the same sheets. I think I'm just too old to be sharing a bathroom with strangers, so my tolerance wasn't great. But the bathrooms were flooded and the power was out for almost the entire time I was there. The lounge had old and dirty... More

We stayed in City during the last week of June this year. First impressions of the hostel were that it was quite old and basic...there is no central heating and the building is totally uninsulated (Though this seems to be a flaw inherent in all but the most recent buildings here). I'm not sure if I would like to stay... More
