Accommodation very central to downtown Auckland. Kept awake by loud voices (party time) until 3.00am, then woken at 6.45 by a residents dog howling. Maybe stay again due to it’s location but would need a room away from what appear to be ‘residents’.

Great place to stay in Auckland - our room was spacious and came with a microwave, toaster, and fridge. There is also a communal laundry and kitchen area. Staff were helpful, and the walk into the city centre was easy. I would stay here again - it's great value for money!

This hotel is in a historic train station…. It’s a very cool stay in the building and has a dedicated cooking area that is massive! The only downside was the water pressure

An interesting place to stay. Comfy beds, great shower, spacious room. Could do with some dampening of the noise from the trains going right past the windows and the other guests using their bathrooms! Very echoey due to age of the building. Fantastic curry in hotel restaurant lobby but the smell emanated in every public area. Definitely a backpacker/student choice.

It’s a really cool building right next door to spark arena so super handy if going to a concert or other event there. The rooms are clean and tidy and it was very quiet. It’s nothing fancy, the rooms have been done up but as cheaply as possible and not with a high attention to detail.
