Hobson Lodge

Good stay in Auckland. Near to the city center. Really hot in the hot but clean. Bathroom are really big and check-in and check out are really easy

I stayed here for three weeks, and the only thing I liked about it was that it was cheap. There is no AC, so the rooms were uncomfortable. A staff member wrongly informed me that I could park on the side of the road, and my van got towed. Management did not care. They change the code to get into the hostel every so often, which is good for security reasons, but they do a bad job about letting the guests know. One night I got back and the code had changed and I was locked out for a long time.

Stayed here twice on a trip to the North Island. The staff were incredibly unhelpful when my cabinet was taken - I messaged and asked at the desk twice and nothing was done to resolve it. Overall the bathrooms were a little unclean but the bed was fine and the kitchen was okay. Not sure if I’d stay here again due to the terrible reception service.
