Well located for walking into the CBD. Parking was secure. The room was spacious including the bathroom. There was a constant background noise from the pipes presumably but didn't disrupt sleeping.

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly! I was welcomed warmly as soon as I entered the front desk and offered free luggage storage behind the front desk, and free full use of all the amenities until it was time to check-in! The hostel itself is very quiet and perfect to get a good rest of you are jet lagged at all! The kitchen had plenty of cooktops, pots, pans, utensils, and storage, and the washrooms had several separate toilets and showers - never had to wait for anything! There were also several computers available to use free of charge as well, which was very helpful for me!

Incredibly clean, amazing showers and toilets. Rooms have curtains that allow you to sleep in peace. Every bed has valuable boxes underneath for peace of mind. Laundry room is decently priced at $4 per washer and dryer. Absolute joy to stay there, extended my stay several times at reception with no problems. Would highly recommend to any other backpackers or as a cheaper alternative to a hotel.

The kitchen was large, the wifi worked well, and there were plenty of hot showers/toilets available. Hairdryers were located near the showers/sinks. Computers were available on both floors. The staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I loved having hot water in the morning for making instant oatmeal and coffee. This hostel is a quiet place to stay. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were stocked and clean. The location is GREAT - only 1 1/2 block to the bus station, close to a grocery store, and close to restaurants and the Sky Tower. I enjoyed my stay there.

I was stuck in Auckland awaiting an emergency passport and this was the only accommodation I could find. Is really a backpackers place and I was able to get a double room with communal restrooms. The bed was very comfortable and room was clean. But the restrooms could do with more regular cleaning! The manager allowed me to keep my bags in the office after checkout which was very helpful.

This was the third time I've stayed at Hobson Lodge and it's definitely my favorite in town. They're always improving and upgrading stuff. The kitchen and lounge area is clean, intelligently planned, and well-maintained. Derek, the manager, is accommodating, easy-going, and has a really good head on his shoulders. He remembers and welcomes me each time I return!

Die Zimmer und die Küche war an sich groß genug. Auch WC und Duschen waren in ausreichender Form vorhanden. Allerdings wurden diese entweder nicht richtig sauber gemacht oder die Gäste sind absolut schweinisch damit damit umgegangen...

HOTEL MIXTE BACKPACKERS
hotel placé centre ville très pratique pour les activités et excursions , tout les rendez vous sont en centre ville, c est quand même un backpackers... un peu bruyant car les gens ne font pas attention quand ils vont aux toilettes : portes claques pour wc et douches, j ai même une une réunion de nouveaux arrivants a minuit faites dans le couloir de l étage (chambres) au lieu de réaliser leur réunion dans la cuisine au rez de chaussée ..dommage!!! pas de petit déjeuner les gens achètent leur produits rangent dans des casiers et déjeunent dans la cuisine(rez de chausse) pour moi de la chance il y a juste a cote de l hôtel un café ou bar qui réalise des déjeuners ( nom: métro galerie art) Cool.Je pense que c est un backpackers un peu au dessus de la moyenne.
