I could hear the water running through the pipes fairly loudly in this particular room. Earplugs might be needed if you struggle with needing silence to get to sleep.
It's not luxury but for the price It's good. Staff is very nice and people are generally quiet and respectful of others. Across the street from the Sky Tower, around the corner from a grocery store, and right down the street from Queen St.

Suited my needs. A good spring clean in certain areas would not go amiss
The room is under a septic flush and every time the toilet flushes it always making a loud noise. The hose of the septic has a water that is dripping down the bedroom.
The bathroom stall doors on 3rd floor men bathroom needs adjustments to close properly. I will book here on my next time in Auckland CBD. Close to Sky Tower and convenient Sky drive bus to and from airport. Also, safe environment at this establishment. Friendly, informative and knowledgeable staff.
Staff indeed is helpful including tourist information. The cheapest hostel in town, you get what you pay, good value for money. Wifi even on the 3rd level is connected well. Kitchen is provided with plenty of
