Kiwi International Hotel
We booked a three-bed room for our business trip, and the Kiwi International Hotel had exactly what we needed—one room with two beds and another with a single bed. The rooms were spacious and comfortable for all three of us, with no feeling of crowding. The hotel’s location is fantastic—just a short walk from the Sky Tower and close to public transit, making it super convenient for exploring Auckland. We also appreciated the free parking, which was a big plus since we drove in. Everything about the stay was top-notch: clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent value. I’d definitely stay here again on future visits to Auckland. Highly recommended!

One of my top hostel picks in Auckland! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the stay feel more like home. Right outside the door is a bus stop—super convenient for getting around the city without needing to walk far. The dorm rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and each comes with a locker, fridge, air conditioning, and windows that open for fresh airflow. I also stayed in a private room, and it was just as impressive—clean, well-equipped with a fridge, AC, and a dedicated desk and chair, perfect for working or relaxing. Great value, great vibe, and an excellent choice for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a friendly atmosphere.

Surf 'N' Snow Backpackers
My colleague raved about this place, so I gave it a try — and honestly, it exceeded my expectations! This was my first time staying at a hostel-style accommodation, and the location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Auckland. Just steps from the door, there’s a big supermarket, and major attractions like the iconic Sky Tower are only a 5- to 10-minute walk away. The best part? There’s a shared kitchen on one floor where guests can cook their own meals using fresh ingredients from the nearby store. It’s perfect for travelers who want flexibility and a bit of home comfort while exploring the city. I came alone, and this place made my trip feel personal, safe, and fun. If you’re looking for a great mix of convenience, affordability, and social vibes, this is definitely the spot. I’ll be back — no doubt.
K Road City Travellers
I stayed here for two weeks and honestly, I’d come back in a heartbeat. I booked a four-person bunk room, and to be honest, the bed was one of the most comfortable ones I’ve ever slept on during my travels—definitely a top priority for me when choosing a place to stay. The room had shelves for storing personal items, which made things much more organized and convenient. The only real downside was the limited number of power outlets—fine when staying alone, but it would definitely get tight if the room was full. Bathroom facilities were clean and modern, and both kitchens were well-maintained. That said, there’s only enough space and utensils for two people to cook at once, so you might have to wait your turn on busier evenings. Location-wise, it’s super convenient—right next to shops, restaurants, and bars. But that also means nightlife gets loud on weekends, especially Fridays and Saturdays. My tip? If you’re planning to go out, just embrace it—sleeping will be tough anyway, so why not make the most of it? Overall, I’d give this hostel an 8/10—great value, friendly vibe, and a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers.
Mount Eden Motel
A wonderful place to return to! I was genuinely surprised by the quality of our room—far better than I expected for a 3-star property. The bathroom was clean and spacious, with excellent water pressure in the shower. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the pillows made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were welcoming and attentive, going the extra mile to make us feel at home. Located just steps from the subway, it’s super convenient for getting around Auckland. With great dining options nearby and fantastic value, this motel is definitely on my list for future visits.
Hobson Lodge
I was genuinely impressed with this place—especially considering the price. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great cafes, shops, and attractions. I loved how easy it was to get around using public transit—super convenient for exploring Auckland. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Noise insulation is better than expected, so I wasn’t disturbed at all. For the rate, this is an absolute steal. It’s rare to find such quality and value in a hostel setting. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I visit Auckland. Highly recommend!
BK Hostel
Staying at BK Hostel in Auckland was a fantastic experience. The facilities were spotless and well-maintained, with staff who were kind, quiet but always ready to help whenever needed. I was a bit nervous before arriving, but the location is safe and super convenient for getting around the city. I actually slept really well—something I wasn’t sure about going in. One little surprise was finding a mini fridge right above my bed, next to the big kitchen fridge—such a smart and handy touch! Overall, it’s a great place if you’re looking for comfort, safety, and value. Definitely recommend for travelers wanting a stress-free stay.
Shooters Saloon Bar Hotel & Cabins
This place was a complete disappointment. The overall condition was poor—dirty, poorly maintained, and honestly made me feel uneasy. There's a small side room with a bed tucked away in the corner of the common area, which is super confusing and makes you wonder what goes on there. It’s not just odd—it’s unsettling. The staff were unhelpful, and promises made during booking didn’t match reality. I felt misled from the start. While it’s conveniently located near public transit to downtown Auckland, I wouldn’t recommend staying here—especially for safety or comfort reasons. Not worth the price, and definitely not something I’d ever consider again.
Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour
Staying at Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour was an absolute delight. Located right by the waterfront, the views from the room were stunning—especially in the morning when the sun hit the harbor. The area is bustling with great dining options, so you never have to go far for a good meal. I’m actually planning to compare it with Park Hyatt on my next trip, but this stay already left me thoroughly impressed. The service was attentive without being overbearing, the room was elegant and spacious, and the overall atmosphere felt luxurious yet welcoming. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, location, and style. If you’re visiting Auckland, this hotel is definitely worth considering—it’s not just a place to sleep, it’s an experience.
