LyLo Auckland

Great option for solo travellers of any length of stay. Good atmosphere, good location, good price. I recommend visitors who use the towel hire to collect it ASAP even if using it later as I had to wait a few hours for them while being laundered. Showers were awkward as they flooded with no place to put clothing, no bench, etc. Came in summer and everywhere was cooled well, but my pod got quite warm when occupied for longer than an hour with fan on.

Highly recommended hostel. We got the private double with shared bathroom and the bathrooms were very clean! The room was great although it was hot and only the queen/king private rooms have AC, luckily they had one fan left which helped. Bed was very comfortable and overall, the hostel has lots of very comfortable spaces to chill out and lounge. Loved it!

The pods have a good amount of space and the bathrooms were clean enough. However, the wifi in the room was slow, some facilities in the pod were broken though I was able to switch pods, the fans inside the pods were extremely dusty, and when I tried to ask for activity/food recommendations nearby, the advice was entirely lacklustre and less useful than a 30 second Google search. For the price, I expected better; there are other hostels nearby for half the price.

As a hostel, it's a great place. It is clean, the beds are comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The only problem is that rooms' doors when close make big noise that wake one up. There is no quiet time that obligates the guests to be in bed and quiet. It is up to individuals to close the door quietly and be mindful that others are resting in odd hours.

Great place to stay in Auckland, fantastic barber and tattooist on site, attached to a great bar with lots going on, easy to meet people. Staff are friendly and helpful and try to keep on top of the cleanliness in the kitchen, but due to the way some people have been dragged up, they do struggle sometimes. Only issue I experienced was a broken toaster, they could do with more than one in the kitchen. Private room without a window was perfect catch up on sleep, comfy and clean.
