I did not realise this accomodation was a hostel. When we found out it was after checking in standards were immediately dropped. However, I think the conditions of this place has made it the worst hostel i’ve seen. Shared bathrooms are dirty and smells horrible. Showers are mouldy. The windows in the room were cracked. Sheets and pillows were dirty. Bed frames were also dirty and ripped up. I don’t think it’s worth the amount they charge for it. The only good aspect of it is location is very convenient. You just have to be okay with the loud and noisy Auckland night life.

This was a very cheap place to stay but the bathroom was horribly dirty, the curtains were torn, the windows were high up and faced out onto a brick wall. Staff were very polite and helpful though.

I thought I had booked a hotel so I expected hotel facilities and it was not until I got there I found out it was a hostel but there was also the fact the front person hardly cared that I was there and the shower so just dirty and the white towels were brown and dirty. There was mould on the curtains. So i was not impressed with my stay

Location is great however property is in poor condition with thin walls and squeaky floors. Good for a quick one night stay if you need somewhere to sleep

We didnt end up staying. Room was dirty snelling, beds weren't made. Toilets reeked of urine, sanitary wrappers all over floor. Disgusting and no offer of refund. We checked in according to policy, hotel should have refunded as motel was disgusting and no one should have to pay to stay in those conditions

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! I have done some traveling around the world and this is, by some margin, the worst accommodation I have ever been to. I won't say stayed in because I left, took my refund and found somewhere else. The whole place was filthy. They couldn't even provide clean sheets and no one cared. Appalling. Avoid at all costs. Rooms: Dirty and hot. There was what was possible mould behind the door and stains all over the place. Food & drinks: Best not to even look in the kitchen.

This was the worst accomodation we’ve ever stayed in. So dirty, mould in bathroom, pillows seemed like they’d never been washed or replaced. Window latches were broken and curtains were disgusting/ripped. Ventilation in the bathroom was extremely poor and shower made entire bathroom wet. But worst of all the room absolutely stunk, we had to buy air fresheners for the room and even after 5 days it still smelt of urine/food. Overall really run down and dirty place. Very convenient location but that was the only positive.

Queen ensuite is small and outdated. Uncofortable bed. No air conditioning, the room becomes unbearable during the summer.TV broken. Cleanliness of room and hotel amenities was terrible and stink House keeping every 4 days. Staff were nice, but not very helpful. Overall I do not recommend this place.

A good spot to walk to ferry. It was torture, couldnt sleep. I had booked room with no window, but there was no air conditioner working. I asked for a fan, did not have one. It was inhumanely hot. They didnt try to put me in a room where air worked.

It's an older building in sound but rundown condition, clean enough, no fleas mice or rats, linen supplied, shared toilets and showers as usual in old hotels and hostels. Cheap enough with good security, overall a quiet facility with the exception of street noise from the bars across the road through the open windows in the front rooms on Fort st. Quiets down by 3am. Cost $60 what do you expect.

Our room was absolutely disgusting. The bedding was dirty, the bathroom was filthy and it looked like a tip (nothing like the pictures online). The windows in our room were being held open by a Powerade bottle and lip balm when we arrived. Getting to our room indicated what we were in for, heaters kicked off the wall, man holes left open and patched up walls. We immediately booked somewhere else as it was so below par.

The room is utterly pathetic. No AC. In summer you will feel like you are getting roasted inside without an AC. The “Queen” room is certainly not valued at $67. Never ever going back here.

The rooms are small, dirty and not ventilated. There were holes in the wall and the shower was either boiling hot or freezing cold. The communal kitch was dirty and smelled awful. The rooftop terrace was littered with smoke buts and had only two seats. The afternoon front desk staff was lovely and informative. The only upside to an uncomfortable stay

One of the worst hostels in NZ. Dirty and the rooms like prison cells. And not even the cheapest of stays I've done here! Not a nice atmosphere (seems to be some permanent residents which make it an odd environment). Kitchen poorly stocked and had things left and growing in pans

Room is tiny and not very clean. Ensuite Bathroom had a hole in the wall that had been filled in with toilet paper. Toilet seat needed replacing. Marks all over the walls and the pillows were super dirty and badly needed replacing. I didn’t want to walk barefoot on the carpet either. The whole room just felt dirty.

This was the worst place i have ever stayed! We booked in for 2 nights but only stayed one(reluctantly) as it was absolutley disgusting! It stunk and the bedding was filthy, the pillows were stained with yellow/brown marks on them. I had to sleep with a towel on it and my husband had his hand under his face. Hostel only maybe. Yuck!!

Surprise $100 bond on checking in. Shower was not cleaned before we got there. There was a big plaster from previous guest in the corner of it so not using that. Bed base was big but matress was much smaller than the base. Nothing in the room other than a bed. Ensure you take towels with you if you get a clean shower to use. Checkout was fine and bond refunded before leaving.
