- Jayyyy (1/5): -
- negi (1/5): - I didn’t like anything about the property. The bed was making a lot of noise and was very old and the bed sheet was not properly clean
- Cresencio (4/5): - No heater inside the room You can hear loud voice outside
- Anonymous (5/5): Passable -

- Ingmar (7/5): Good -
- Isi (8/5): Very good -
- Renato (8/5): Very good - Super basic and cheap. It's worth the money if you aren't picky. The bad was super clean! Nothing to not like if you read their description: in nutshell "you get what you pay for "
- Emily (7/5): An alright place to stay for a night - I liked that it was a place to stay, that had a bed and a lock on the door. The bed was comfortable enough. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Everything was clean and tidy. There was only one sink that was located in the kitchen for both washing hands, food related needs, and for bathroom related needs. The space for the toilets was quite tight, but having 3 toilet options was handy. There was no air conditioning or a fan, so the window in my room was open for fresh air (which was fine, I liked the fresh air!) however the area was quite bright and noisy making it difficult to sleep once the light was off.
- Robbie (9/5): Superb -
- Loc (5/5): Passable -
- Jacob (2/5): Never again. - Location Noisy until 3:30am every night, can’t sleep. No towel or soap.
- Cristina (2/5): Disappointing - Confortable bed. The staff have a translate. The kitchen has no utensils. The refrigerators don't work. It smells like tobacco. The window doesn't close well and it's cold.
- Richard (7/5): Good -
- Fernando (6/5): Cheap but dirty - Location Accommodation, cleanness
- Isi (4/5): Disappointing -
- Carl (5/5): I think there should be a noise curfew for guests - The price was great Room was clean and comfy It was difficult to sleep with other hotel guests talking loudly in the hallway and people talking and singing at 1.30 am and 4.45 am. There was a fridge but it was not working. This would have been handy for my perishables
- Belle (9/5): Superb -
- Fernando (2/5): No a good place to stay - It's a very bad place to stay, I won't recommend to stay in this place, there is better places to stay The room, the bedroom, the kitchen, everything is bad and dirty
- Randal (1/5): never again - did not stay there service was bad. rooms too small, toilets and showers dirty

- Mathilde (3/5): Poor - Great location Not clean and the smell was terrible.
- Allyssa (5/5): Passable -
- Lan (5/5): I won't stay again. - The stuff was very helpful to agree on the refund of the accommodate fee due to lack of cleaness in the room. The sheets were not changed. Toilets were dirty.
- Eddie (5/5): Passable -
- Beth (3/5): Poor -
- Meeyaanu (10/5): Exceptional - Easy Dirty toilets
- Adrian (9/5): Excellent and will continue to use stay at this hotel. - The customer service was great. Staff always friendly and helpful. Great value for money, room was basic but clean and tidy. We stayed at this hotel twice and on both occasions, the reception hadn't received confirmation of our booking from the booking company. I don't think it was really the fault of the hotel staff.
- Chris (3/5): Good location for access to the city. - the location. easy access to city. could do with a good clean in the rooms and shared bathrooms. The venue smells of cigarette smoking.
- Juan (6/5): Pleasant - Location Tenants are noisy, people slap doors all the time,.
- Catherine (8/5): It was in the perfect spot for me, with lots of cafes in the area, and a most comfortable stay. Not - It was very adequate for the super low price. Very basic but extremely comfortable. The showers were awesome. And being able to buy dinner on-site was a bonus! Traffic noise was bad on that side of the building, but not the hotel’s fault.
- Elijah (5/5): Passable -
- Rebecca (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jijy (8/5): Very good -
- Sonja (7/5): This met expectations! you get what you pay for and for $65 it was a bargain at Auckland prices. - This met the expectations of my booking. I need one night's cheap accommodation and it delivered! the bedroom had all the amenities I needed and I had a comfortable sleep. lock on the room could have been better, however I improvised by moving table in front of door.
- Simon (5/5): Its ok for a short stay. - The bed was comfy and it was a single room. The rooms are mostly road facing, even at night there is traffic / loud people, shouting on the street. Some of the staff / other travellers were totally neutral, barley a hi back after greeting them.
- Aastha (7/5): Good -
- Ritik (5/5): It was alright - The bar was pretty good. The view was good too. Over all it was a good place to stay and the destination was in towards the city which was good The inside of the room. No curtains. No heater to warm up the room. No tv but it’s fair since it’s a $56 stay
- Beth (5/5): Passable - Location - central city Bathrooms needed to be upkept better
- Carl (6/5): Pleasant -
- Natalie (5/5): Basic, but ok for a short stay - Bed was comfortable, was basic but what I needed for one night The road noise - was woken up at 4am by a loud car, not much can be done about that, but maybe earplugs could be a good idea
- Patryk (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adrian (5/5): Basic facilities, reflected in price. -
- Alfie (6/5): You get what you pay for but that worked for me - Good location, when I arrived met the cleaner and he was welcoming. Best way to describe the place is like run down uni halls. Room was fine had all I'd need for my stay, liked the window view too. If you want a room for yourself in a good location with little amenities this suits The cleanliness isn't the best (mainly kitchen and toilets+showers), it is run down but you get what you pay for. People were definitely smoking indoors and often lots of movement in the night around the weekend
- Denis (8/5): Very good - Great value, location, private room, shared: two showers, three toilets, small but usable kitchen. There were some people smoking indoors even though an outdoor smoking area is provided.
- Adnan8022 (9/5): carpark was not available & bathroom was too small. - room was ok carpark was not available & bathroom was too small.
- Singh (8/5): Very good -
- Luis (8/5): Suited what I needed. - I would say that it is what they mention in the description. It is not a fancy place but it does worth the value they are charging per night. It suited my expectations and needs, with a non expensive price.
- Qingbin (9/5): A memorable and pleasant stay. - Staying here felt like stepping into history, with the added bonus of privacy and all the essentials covered at great value. It was the perfect spot for someone like me who just needed a comfortable bed and a good shower.
- Aaron.h (6/5): Pleasant - Perfect location for the concert I was attending!
- Usharni (5/5): Passable -
- Pranav (1/5): I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. - I didn't die Horrible experience: one bathroom sink per floor, tiny kitchen, old & dirty rooms. Police had to come because of a violent brawl, very unsafe. Most people staying here all look homeless & drug addicted. Worst place I've ever stayed at.
- Singh (8/5): Very good -
- Paula (5/5): Passable -
- Kylie (3/5): Poor - location was good and price was fair was hard to find the place to start with it wasn't very well sign written
- Danielle (3/5): Not what I expected, not worth the cost - There was a fridge in the room, the location is close to everything There was rat poo in the cutlery drawer, The air fryer was covered in grease and food, No rubbish bins in the bedrooms. Kitchen cupboards were dirty. Big gaps under the bedroom door you can hear everything through it, There was hardly any utensils, cups and plates. Cockroaches in the bathroom.
- Henry (9/5): Superb -
- Rebecca (5/5): Great value for money, perfect if you don’t mind sharing a bathroom and kitchen. - Excellent location and great value for money. Lockable rooms. A nice duvet with two pillows (and a towel in one of the rooms). Kitchen and bathrooms could do with a good lot of disinfectant. There is only one hand basin which is in the room with one of the showers. So if someone was using the shower you had to use the sink in the kitchen to wash hands etc. Also the pillow cases in one of the rooms were not clean.
- Scott (8/5): Very good -
- Ramesh (3/5): Poor - No towels in the room Bathroom and toilets dirty Not enough glasses to drink water
- Josiah (5/5): Passable -
- Jack (9/5): Superb -
- Shanshan (7/5): Solo stay in town - Good location not too noisy either. it's cheap enough to cover the disadvantages
- Hannah (7/5): Nice to be in a prime spot in an historical part of Auckland. - Location and staff

- Adriana (6/5): Pleasant -
- Alar (2/5): Very poor - nothing very poor contition. alot screaming at night
- Eieitaotao (4/5): Disappointing - Location is good
- Georgia (1/5): Bad - The hostel was in a great location This accommodation didn't have a sign anywhere, I walked around for ages trying to find an entrance, when I finally did I decided to book somewhere else because I felt like if they can't be bothered getting a sign for their building what else can't they be bothered about.
- 銀治(ginji) (7/5): Long term stay - Location of the place Kitchen cleanliness and shower water spillage
- O'donnell (6/5): Pleasant -
- Francis (8/5): Very good -
- Antonio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richie (1/5): Bad -
- Sarah (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kangho (7/5): Fair for the price - Fair price for the great location wise. Compared to the similar price range, you only have domitory option, but I was able to secure single room. Smell of someone’s smoking leaked into my room. I guess its either liability of both that person who smoked and the facility that cannot seal the smoke comes into the room
- Zuzana (1/5): Bad - Really untidy accomodation. We wouldn't stay there. We had to move because of the untidy, dirty area.
- Yoke (8/5): Very good - The bed and surrounding. No shampoo and shower gel. The soup dispenser was tgere but one of the staff is not helpful to give full informations. No even towers to help the guest. His staffs was helpful and kind.
- Janina (7/5): Good - Super nice staff, I could leave my luggage there early in the morning and the manager carried my suitcase up the stairs for me at night and again down in the morning. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Bathrooms and kitchen could be cleaner, but well, it's shared space, and the price is totally OK for what you get.

- Fareednz (8/5): Very good - Location No car park
- Vanita (8/5): Very good -

- Patel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jana (9/5): Superb - Comfy bed, table and mirror in a room. Clean bathrooms Door lock was broken, was very hard to open the door
- Udara (7/5): 18 nights I stayed - Free WIFI is good. Location is very good and near to city center. Convenient for migrants. Toilets do not have enough space. More bathrooms are required
- Tracey (10/5): Good value for short stay - Central location and low cost No complaints you get what you pay for
- Levi (5/5): Passable - The cleaner was amazing he was nice. Good location. It’s bare minimum. The photo is old place doesn’t look like that anymore. The bar doesn’t serve drinks.
- Reagan (7/5): Good -
- Ramm (1/5): Bad - They were a bunch of Satan cult like people. Very negative tried steering me down they were like evil spirits awake all night. Everything was wrong dangerously wrong.
- Nives (4/5): Bearable enough for a short stay if you’re a simple traveler on a budget. Staff was nice though. -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
