I've stayed here before in the budget 4 person rooms. It's dirty and tight rooms and very old building but I expected that for the price and location. My problem this time was we stayed in a 8 person dorm. Everyone there was long term live in so they had clothes and stuff covering every inch of the floor and the latter going up to my bunk and my 2 friends bunk. Plus they had clothes and towels hanging off the top bunk. They would unplug our chargers and plug there's in even if the wall had two outlets and we only needed one between the 3 of us. I put my bag next to the way up the bunk since there was no other space and it was thrown into a pile of dirty clothes by the long term guest. We also had a girl living in our room who didn't have a bed in it but she was trading work for accomodation and didn't like the room she was assigned so she stayed with a friend in our room making it 9 people 8 tight dorm beds and 6 people's stuff everywhere hanged in the room. Me and my 2 friends had zero space available. I really do not recommend staying in this hostel is you are just visiting auckland. Pay a few dollars more and don't deal with the long term guest.

I'm trying to organize my words to describe the details of this place.
1. Price: It is a cheap hostel, yes, about NZD81/night during my stay in the central Auckland for a tiny box room. But cheap does not mean its worth. Wifi plus 3-4 dollars per day (can't remember the exact price).
2. Comfort: First part is noise. The night bar is directly sitting down stair. It normally keeps running until around 2 am (yes, pls note that ppl will keep laughing until midnight). The guests definitely can hear the noise and sleep worse. Well, if you are a nightbird and party animal then maybe you could adapt to. Then, room is sort of dirty, I saw some stain on the sheet and cover. No air-con in the building and it was really stuff and muggy in March (I couldn't imagine how did people live there during summer). The bed was uncomfortable and old, felt like the furniture were collected from Inorganic Collections.
3. Servies: Reception has some friendly staffs who work hard from day to night. No towel and any cloth to be provided as they trying to avoid stolen (hard to imagine people stole towels). oh BTW, I spend 3 nights there and couldn't sleep well during the night. Once I took a sleep nakedly (because it was muggy) in the afternoon while a cleaner came in with a quick knock and said sorry. Fortunately, I was covered.
4. Location: The location is good, central Auckland, 2-3 mins walking to wharf and Britomart. Surrounding by restaurants and other businesses.
The end, I wouldn't recommend people stay there for business and relax because you have to take enough rest and sleep to effort your work or life. The noise and comfort are both poor. On the other hand, this place may be good for some short stays for concerts or transferring with a lack of budget.
