Very basic, hostel. Mattresses are absolutely filthy, April 6, 2006
Reviewer: therese from Japan

Pros: Close to Queen Street
Cons: Other guests appear to be workers not travellers.

If everything else is booked out in Auckland this is where you will probably end up. The airport help desk tried about 7 hostels and this was the only one available - that's how I ended up here.

Don't plan on booking here if there is anything else available. it's not really bad; just not really set up for tourists. Feels like a hostel for locals searching for work.

And the mattresses will give you a heart attack when you remove the sheets in the morning.
