In auckland for buisiness. wanted reasonably priced place close to town. was in a 4 bed dorm. totally unprepared for 20 people party in kitchen/lounge, dorm door banging open at all hours,MAJOR traffic noise all night, strange smoke wafting into room. No sleep-shattered!! My fault for trying to be cheap arse. Would pay extra next time for a bit of peace and quiet, It was a Wednesday. Ok for teens and 20's but not for the more mature. Word of advice from staff would've been listened to.

THIS PLACE IS A DIVE: - Central Auckland location is good (especially for the money), however it is next door to several brothels - Not suited to holidaying backpackers, more for working people - Kitchens were filthy - Showers were cold - V noisy as communal areas next to bedrooms + loads of street noise - People were smoking inside - gross - Room had no curtains and the pillows are made from cotton wool - There was a naked man walking about the corridors - Free "dinner" is TINY

A mistake was made on our booking and we were given a double bed instead of a twin so we spent an unwanted night in a dorm. Although we had paid in full we were locked out of our room and told that we hadnt paid. Very noisey .A few too many mistakes to make our stay enjoyable.   Read Owner Comments

Booked a 4 bed dorm, got given an 8 bed dorm, there were no blinds in the bedroom so light pouring through, pillows were virtually non existant, slats missing from bottom of bunks. Overall disgusting. Nomads Fusion WAY WAY better!!!!!   Read Owner Comments
