"Very nice, but a bit out of the way"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
This hotel was the final stop on our one-month trek thru Australia and New Zealand. It was a fine hotel with friendly people (none of whom were New Zealanders) and clean comfortable rooms. The resturant in the hotel served the best meal we had in NZ. The only negative was the location. It was a 10-15 minute walk to the main shopping and entertainment areas and inconvenient to the various bus routes. Being situated atop one of Auckland's many hills, it was a tough walk up hill at the end of the day.
"Start of Holiday"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
Hotel looks basic from the outside but that is decieving because the staff was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and the towels were plush and the beds very comfortable.

On a peninsula overlooking scenic Waitemata Harbour, Auckland CBD is not only the country’s major business centre, but plays host to a concentration of artistic and cultural venues in addition to nightlife precincts. In more recent years, much of the waterfront has been reclaimed for high-end residential apartments, trendy cafes and bars, marinas, and public recreational use.
see all hotels in Auckland"it's the Y. clean, efficient, few amenities."
you pretty much know what to expect at the Y. This place is clean. that's pretty much all I was hoping for. Room was very small, shared bathroom. But that's exactly what you expect... and for $35/night, that's what you get. I was impressed at the cleanliness. Highly recommended for a simple clean room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Satisfied costumer"
We booked via web site and it was so easy. The place was just accessible to where we wanted to go. I personally like the idea of the fridge in our room so to keep our grocery and food fresh. Generally, our stay was very good and i find every thing reasonably clean. Noise wise, well you cant help it guys.. as the hostel is located in the main street. […] We asolutely understand. Main thing is, that every thing was clean. all THUMBS UP for all the Staff. well done guys. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A perfect place to crash"
I was after something very simple - a clean, reliable place to sleep for a couple of nights - and got it. The location is excellent. Everything went smoothly at check in. My room, and the hostel, were very clean. The room was small but tidy and everything in it as it should be. The showers and toilets were new, and reliable. They might be pushing the […] re-using of things a bit far as my towel was a little threadbare. And I wasn't partying so can't comment on the level of fun or whether the staff know what to do in Auckland. But it was perfect for what I wanted. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"see a event the next day."
was ok. a must needs fixing because of safety issues is the womans bathroom handdryer. I wash my hands to turn the switch on with wet hands is not ideal. light in my room wasn't going. level 4.. 416 had 3 lights but only used 1. service was ok. good price for a quick stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"week end stay"
I have stayed only for 3 days at the 5th floor in the new room, freshly painted with a nice view on the harbour. It is also very much appreciated to use new bathrooms even if there is rubbish bin missing still! Staff can be efficient. The only negative points can be the noisy night club on the other side of the street, and the poor quality of B&W photocopies […] they do at the office! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Cheap and met up to cost expectations"
There were no women's bathroom or showers on the floor where my room was. The showers were two to a room with no lock on the door, felt a bit risky, however I was not disturbed. I had a comfortable clean room and it was exactly what the advert had said it would be. The staff were friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cheap but noisy"
Our stay was very noisy. When we checked in we wern't told there was major construction happening on our floor a few doors down. Walls were being knocked down, one day we used the showers and the next they were gone. We asked to change rooms and were moved a few levels down which was much better. You could still hear the construction but it wasn't as […] bad. Accross the road from the hostel was the fire station and ambulance station so sirens went off all the time. The hostel also had an intercom system in every room so if someone recieved a phonecall it was announced to everyone in the hostel. If you're looking for cheap this is the place to stay and its close to town which is good, but I wouldn't stay there again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

"YMCA Hostel Auckland"
I only spent one night here but the standards were excellent! I arrived at midnight and the security guard had my key waiting. I had booked a single private room but received a private twin room, so even better. It was spotlessly clean and tidy. The bed was comfy an the linen looked almost new. There was a towel available as well. Also a fridge and […] a desk. The bathrooms were extremely clean too. Seperate toilet and shower rooms. On the whole, an excellent stay and I would definitely recommend the YMCA Hostel as an excellent option to stay when in Auckland. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Simple, clean and quiete."
Simple, clean and quiete. Close to Upper Queen street and Myers Parks, so it's not too bad.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Net hostel"
Hostel is netjes en rustig. Op ongeveer 10 minuten lopen van de skytower. De meeste verdiepingen hebben alleen doucheruimtes voor mannen of vrouwen, waardoor het kan zijn dat je naar een andere verdieping moet hiervoor.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Sehr gute Lage"
Mitarbeiter, sehr gute Lage, sauberes Zimmer & gemeinsames Bad, günstige Preis für Einzelzimmer, ich habe nicht das Bett wegen den Gittern an beiden Enden gemocht (ich konnte nicht am Bauch schlafen), viele Clubs in der Nähe.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

被子薄,不舒服,厨房比较旧,感觉不好,女生洗手间少,上厕所洗澡还得上一层楼,很不方便。比起此行的其他背包客栈感觉差一些。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
