The Attic Backpackers

Auckland’s Top-Floor Favourite
Attic opened in 2013 and has quietly become one of the most-loved hostels in the city. We’ve welcomed over 100,000 guests from more than 140 countries (yes, we counted), and average a 9/10 rating after 6500+ reviews.

We’re perched on the top floor of a heritage building in the heart of Auckland’s CBD, near the Sky Tower, Queen Street, and everything else you’ll need on your first few days in New Zealand. With 100+ beds spread across dorms and private rooms, we’re big enough to be social but small enough to feel personal. We keep things clean, calm, and well-run — and we’ve picked up a few Hostelworld awards along the way, including Most Popular Hostel in Auckland.

Whoever you are, and wherever you come from — you’re welcome here.
We believe the most important part of any hostel isn’t the building, the bunks, or even the location — it’s the people. The travellers, the staff, the shared stories and small kindnesses that make you feel at home, even when you’re far from it.
