I found the hostel really good. Location can't be better (middle of Auckland city, 20 mts from the most important street), bed, mattress and linen were better than other hotels in AUK. Definitly I would recommend to stay at base.

A very large hostel, with all the things you could want, but very little soul. I was in a room with no natural light, which made jetlag even worse!

As corporate a hostel as you will ever find, its actually pretty good... for what it is. Vending machines, kiosks, services fore hire at every turn. However for those looking for something unique or intimate... look elsewhere.

Only thing that I would say is they charge you for storing your bags... Otherwise its a great hostel with everything in it!

The lifts make you feel sick. The hostel is so big that it can get annoying
