Guest Reviews

• luca (8/5): -
• melonchanyo (6/5): だいたいは満足 - 場所がよくセキュリティーもばっちり。 個室に冷蔵庫あるのは素晴らしい。 とにかくうるさい。夜は特に。 トイレはもう少しきれいに。。
• Jessica (7/5): Good. - Comfortable beds.
• Marion (9/5): Hôtel très bon rapport qualité prix - Hostel au tres bon rapport qualité prix J’ai oublié quelque chose en partant et ils ont fait le nécessaire pour me le renvoyer, j’ai trouver cela très professionnel et bien organisé. Cuisine propre et très bien équipée. Quartier très mitigé mais assez fetard le weekend, et donc bruyant. Ça ne nous a pas trop dérangé mais à prendre en compte.

• EllaJ (8/5): Very good. - Clean comfortable room, shared facilities clean.
• Juan Cruz (10/5): - La limpieza

• mike (5/5): - There was a person I'm the lobby hacking into people's devices through the shared wifi connection. I tried to contact the hostel but have not heard a reply from them. They need to have a more secure wifi.
• Rachel (8/5): - Does the job, cheap for a few nights. Communal kitchen had everything you needed As a solo female I felt quite unsafe in the area, however this is unfortunately an overall problem with Auckland but there was a huge presence of intimidating individuals on this road.
• Andrea (8/5): great price value (private room) compared to other hostels in auckland - we have been here when we arrived to NZ and also we came back just before we left the country as the price value is much better than in most other hostels in the city. we were staying in a private room (it was kind of the same price we had to pay for a dorm bed in other hostels, so this was such a better option). the staff has alsways been very friendly and helpful, you can see they want to accomodate you. The Building is old but the rooms and facilities are clean and the staff is doing their best. it didn‘t very feel like a hostel from how I know it. you will not meet a lot of ppl or make huge friendships here, some of the guests are here longterm and you can feel the vibe is different (but also other hostels in the area are similar in auckland) it didn‘t very bother us but some ppl may like it more sociable :) the location is good as it‘s in central auckland from where you can reach pretty much everything by foot, but also there are quite a few weird ppl in the neighborhood..

• Dowling (8/5): No frills, clean and friendly hostel for the budget conscience. - This was a nice albeit basic hostel in a very central location. The staff were great, the bathrooms clean and well maintained and it was handy for the CBD and straight onto the bustling and Bohemian K Road. This isn't the place to take your partner for a romantic weekend but it isn't pretending to be. It is cheap and cheerful accommodation for travellers on a budget. NB K Rd can be a bit wild over the weekend.
• Emma (4/5): - it was cold, heater did nit work properly, no heat-insulating windows. In the bathroom, the drain was full of hair, very uncomdortable to shower in a pool of hair.

• Wanning (7/5): cheap price and nice conditions - cheap price with acceptable conditions There is no air conditioner in the room
• WEI (7/5): - 酒店位于山坡上，出行不太方便。 酒店门口就是红灯区K街，晚上独自出行需要注意安全
• Michael (6/5): -

• Kyra (5/5): - How close to the city it was. How much you can hear outside noise
• Alex (10/5): Great place for a night, cheap and central. -
• Anna (9/5): Ubytování bylo čisté. Sice starší, ale za tu cenu dobré. Spalo se dobře, matrace byly pohodlné. Během našeho pobytu se r - Čisté, levné, bylo tam vše, co bylo potřeba, ne daleko od centra, pohodlná postel V okolí docela hodně lidí asi bez domova/na drogách, kteří si však hleděli svého

• Tian (7/5): Bland but ok for the price - An okay hostel, nothing special as expected for this price. The double room we stayed in was clean, so were both bathrooms and the kitchen. There is warm water in the shower, you just have to wait a bit. The kitchen lacks some more equipment - more pots, pans, etc. The doors and walls are quite paper thin so you can hear everyone around you. Apart from that there's nothing really wrong with it, reception could be open more but not really a problem that much.

• Joy (8/5): Very good -

• Craig (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kim (9/5): Superb - Well mannered staff member and polite and friendly I had a guy next door to me who kept moaning throughout the night and in the morning
• Jannah (8/5): Very good -
• J (8/5): Very good -
• Edit (8/5): Very good - Had a private room, upgraded it with window. It was fine. Wifi is good. Bathroom is Ok. They printed my CV for free. There is luggage room as well. Centrally located. There is a construction in front of the building. Its a bit challenging to get in.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Everything it was super clean the bathroom in perfect condition and the room it was big with fridge and desk, it was perfect
• Strevens (7/5): Good -
• さつき (8/5): sofar so good - It wa an own room. I didn't expected there was no windows and it was uncomfy.
• Dylan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mcaslan (3/5): Poor - Location is pretty good and the bed we where in was comfortable price was a little much for what you got, still a good price we have just stayed in other hostels that have charged less but provided more
• Jarvis (10/5): Exceptional - Nice price.......
• Malte (8/5): Very good - The room even had a fridge. Beds were good and clean. The room without a window actually has a window - it can just not be opened. Just when I wanted another booking there for two days later (without booking.com) they forgot to enter it in the system, so better use booking.com to extend a stay.
• Watson (7/5): Good - Location. Stairs, no window.
• Matthew (6/5): Pleasant - Reasonably priced and located not too far from the CBD Quite an old building and could definitely do with a refresh. Also the street the hostel is on gets very loud on weekend nights
• Lekshmi (9/5): Superb -
• Cameron (8/5): Very good -
• Giovannoni (5/5): Passable - Price Dirty floor in the room, the smell outside the room
• João (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lisa (7/5): Good accommodation in the city. - Good location No bath mat in the bathrooms, no amenities in the room.
• Yuri (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (7/5): Best option for combining a fair price with a central location - This hostel is the best option for combining a fair price with a central location. They also offer long-stay rates, which is a plus. We always find the hostel clean, and the staff is well-prepared to assist with anything you need. BK Hostel is always my go-to choice whenever I need to stay in Auckland's CBD. The only downsides are the noisy K Road nightlife, especially on weekends, and the elevator not operating 24/7 — so if you need to move luggage during off hours, be prepared for a fitness challenge with the stairs
• Dana (7/5): Decent, as you'd expect, but bring ear plugs - Hostel facilities was as you'd expect, and reasonably clean. The staff were great, can't fault them at all! Location is pretty handy, I came from the airport and found it pretty easy once in the city centre Stayed Mon-Thur, I'm glad i didn't stay over the weekend, as its pretty noisy. The walls are thin, you can hear other rooms conversations easily through the walls, and the window doesn't really seal out most of the noise (K-Road gets pretty loud, expect sirens). The absolute worst bit though is the reception door-bell - this can be pressed any time of the night, and the bell has extenders (I had one plugged into the wall outside my room) this WILL wake you up, which is a shame, as they could easily replace this with an out-of-hours phone number which wouldn't disturb guests
• Torralba (8/5): Very good -
• Milne (9/5): Clean, affordable accommodation - Excellent communication, quick check in and out. clean, tidy, comfortable and very affordable. I'll be back. Highly recommend
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pablo (7/5): Good -
• Contreras (8/5): Very good -
• Farzad (8/5): enjoying - friendly staff. clean rooms. nothing
• Seojun (10/5): My stay review - Clean, Good location, Kindness
• Mia (7/5): good for a cheap stay if you don’t want a social hostel - it was clean and quiet and a decent location. we didn’t stay on the weekend however because I can imagine it being loud from the street outside on the weekend. we kept our bags there in a locked room for free one day which was helpful. it was basic, the room wasn’t huge. if you want a social hostel this isn’t the one as nobody really spoke to each other and the social lounge was a bit sad. the kitchen was good but it would get busy in the evening and there wouldn’t be enough space for everyone.
• Mohammad (5/5): Passable -
• Deisy (9/5): Great short time stay - The staff, location and facilities
• Emmanuel (8/5): Very good -
• Hannah (8/5): Priced exceptional well, should be very proud of the staff, location was on point. - Controllable factors: price, staff, location, ease of travel Uncontrollable factors: The other guests were respectful and kept to themselves. Noone was loud at night which made for a restful sleep. The windows are thin and the noise from outside did disrupt my sleep. The covers were too thin and I did get cold, which disrupted my sleep. Still, you get what you pay for and I would definitely stay again.
• Robert (2/5): Disapointing stay, mainly by stark bleakness of the place and lack of thought that goes into it. - The location was good. With the only light being the fluorescent light, added with the bare walls and the torn curtains, it is the ideal place to go and slash your wrists!
• Maria (8/5): Very good - Nice and clean, good facilities, nice location
• Sanju (8/5): Its a nice hostel but check-out time is very awkward 10 am. - Easy access to public transportation. Check-in and check-out time 2 pm check-in and 10 am check-out. After 10-11 extra $10 and 11-12 full-day charge.
• Suz (8/5): Very good - Staff, cleaningness Noise from street
• Luke (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ramapriyan (10/5): Great - Well maintained Yes Excellent There was no rooms available that is the reason I moved out
• Te (4/5): Loud central location, great if you like night life. - We found cigarette ash in our bed so we slept on top of the bed until we were able to talk to staff the next day. We were moved to another room but when we were 15 minutes late for check out we were asked to pay a late fee and weren’t offered any discount for the unclean bed. The staff member was very rigid about the rules eg 15minutes late while also being very hesitant to talk about any discount for their dirty bed.
• Alayn (8/5): Very helpful staff. Simple and tidy accomodations. -
• Navjot (1/5): Bad - Without my knowledge they guys cut my 20$ extra i dont like at all
• Tomas (8/5): Good value for money - Great location, equiped, cheap, calm Elevator not working, do not bring heavy suitcases
• Jack (4/5): One of the worst hostels I’ve stayed in while in New Zealand. - Location was fine. It was a very basic property with no atmosphere for backpackers. Also the receptionist barely spoke English so was not particularly helpful.
