Hostel was in an area of town that was not the cleanest and had some shady characters roaming about outside but I guess that's how it goes in a lot of cities around the world. Other than that it was a nice place to stay. The young lady at the front desk was the best.

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly! I was welcomed warmly as soon as I entered the front desk and offered free luggage storage behind the front desk, and free full use of all the amenities until it was time to check-in!

The hostel itself is very quiet and perfect to get a good rest of you are jet lagged at all! The kitchen had plenty of cooktops, pots, pans, utensils, and storage, and the washrooms had several separate toilets and showers - never had to wait for anything!

There were also several computers available to use free of charge as well, which was very helpful for me!

Incredibly clean, amazing showers and toilets. Rooms have curtains that allow you to sleep in peace. Every bed has valuable boxes underneath for peace of mind. Laundry room is decently priced at $4 per washer and dryer. Absolute joy to stay there, extended my stay several times at reception with no problems. Would highly recommend to any other backpackers or as a cheaper alternative to a hotel.

The kitchen was large, the wifi worked well, and there were plenty of hot showers/toilets available. Hairdryers were located near the showers/sinks. Computers were available on both floors. The staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I loved having hot water in the morning for making instant oatmeal and coffee. This hostel is a quiet place to stay. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were stocked and clean. The location is GREAT - only 1 1/2 block to the bus station, close to a grocery store, and close to restaurants and the Sky Tower. I enjoyed my stay there.

I was stuck in Auckland awaiting an emergency passport and this was the only accommodation I could find. Is really a backpackers place and I was able to get a double room with communal restrooms. The bed was very comfortable and room was clean. But the restrooms could do with more regular cleaning! The manager allowed me to keep my bags in the office after checkout which was very helpful.

Auckland's Best New Hostel

This was the third time I've stayed at Hobson Lodge and it's definitely my favorite in town. They're always improving and upgrading stuff. The kitchen and lounge area is clean, intelligently planned, and well-maintained. Derek, the manager, is accommodating, easy-going, and has a really good head on his shoulders. He remembers and welcomes me each time I return!

住宿的人很混雜,大部分都是男性,淋浴間也沒有分男女,感覺不是很好。廚房滿髒亂的,非常吵,雖然有付費停車場,但是很多人在停車場來來去去,接待人員也提醒我們把所有東西拿下車…感覺治安真的不太好!單身女生的話可能要避免這裡。

オークランド自体が坂が多いので重めのキャリーなどで来る人は最寄りバスがあるのでバスで来ることをお勧めします。

自分のロッカーも大きいし、シャワー室やトイレ洗面台も管理されてて綺麗です。水圧温度OKです!各ベッドにコンセント2つ穴があり、専用ライトはないです。部屋の電気だけでの生活になるので共有の作業スペースやリビングでパソコン作業などをする形になるかと思います。

15分かからずに歩いてタワーにいけます。
オーナーも良い人で対応が早くて全体としても良いです。

HOTEL MIXTE BACKPACKERS

hotel placé centre ville très pratique pour les activités et excursions , tout les rendez vous sont en centre ville, c est quand même un backpackers... un peu bruyant car les gens ne font pas attention quand ils vont aux toilettes : portes claques pour wc et douches, j ai même une une réunion de nouveaux arrivants a minuit faites dans le couloir de l étage (chambres) au lieu de réaliser leur réunion dans la cuisine au rez de chaussée ..dommage!!! pas de petit déjeuner les gens achètent leur produits rangent dans des casiers et déjeunent dans la cuisine(rez de chausse) pour moi de la chance il y a juste a cote de l hôtel un café ou bar qui réalise des déjeuners ( nom: métro galerie art) Cool.Je pense que c est un backpackers un peu au dessus de la moyenne.

居心地よかったです

個室に8連泊しました。アパートメントホテルと迷いましたが、値段と口コミがよかったので、選びました。ホステルタイプとしては、GOODな居心地と思います。明るいし、設備も不足はないです。アルコール持ち込み禁止なので夜に大騒ぎもないです。キッチンはにぎやかではありますが、気にはならないていど。リノベと思いますが、きれいです。掃除も毎日きちんとしていると思います。市街地からは少し離れている坂の上なので、そこは少し面倒ではありますが、徒歩県内で、HobsonSt沿いにはコンビニもあるので、そこまでの不便ではないかと。タオルもいつでも交換してくれるし、個室には部屋に冷凍冷蔵庫もあるし、仕事もしていましたが、居心地はよかったです。ホステル初心者にもおすすめです

O hostel é tranquilo e quarto com 6 camas é ok. Não tem elevador, então pode ser chato se estiver com mala pesada, mas nada muito grave porque são poucos andares. Os banheiros e chuveiros são unissex, o que pode desagradar alguns. O staff é prestativo e a localização é boa, perto da Queen St e da Sky Tower.

방에서 냄새가 너무 심하게 나서 눈도 따갑고 머리도 아팠다. 땀 찌든 냄새였다. 나와 같이 지낸 친구는 너무 더워서 잠을 이루지 못할 정도였다. 직원은 매우 친절해서 좋았고 위치도 나쁘진 않았다. 개인락커 따로 있어서 좋았고 키친에 식기류도 낡지 않아서 좋았다! 문제는 방안에 찌든 냄새 그거 하나.
