Where to Stay in Auckland When You Visit (Updated 2025)

"I found the dorm rooms at Choice Backpackers large and comfortable, with decent mattresses so you can get a good night’s sleep. As Auckland’s second-largest hostel spread over nine floors, it felt like a fun place to hang out and meet other travelers, and its central location makes it both affordable and convenient." - Matthew Kepnes

Well after being there more than one month there are some conclusions. Place is well located and you will get what you paid for the really cheap price. That's probably everything what is good at that place. Girls at the reception are really trying and being helpful especially Blond lady is really nice and doing her job well. Trying beeing nice and helpful to guests. Problem there is an Manager E***. That Guy is being constantly rude on guests. And after 10 years working in hotels, beeing manager in 3-4* hotels, Airbnbs etc. I can tell that man shouldn't work in hospitality at. All.. why people doing jobs they don't like? This place in right hands can me much better in few weeks. Everything is about details. Like for example to tighten bolts at the bunk beds once at two weeks (cost nothing just little bit of effort), clean electric kettles, tousters, windows and manage better housekeeping as place is being dirty most of the time.. it cost nothing, but someone has to try at least. Strongly recommend to change manger to make this place little bit better

The location is top and the price very good. There are just a view minor things, like sometimes missing paper towels in the bathroom, a simple toilet brush, the kitchen floor closed for some hours every day even when you don't want to use the kitchen, but fill up your food stock or stay at the eating area. And why do the windows look like they weren't cleaned for a decade. Still a nice place for 24$ in Winter.

I stayed at this hostel for 15 days and overall had a really good time. The atmosphere was friendly, and it was easy to meet people from different places. The location is convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the city. The facilities are simple but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is available, but it’s quite small and not always very clean, so it can be a bit challenging during busy hours. Staff were helpful and polite whenever I had questions. If you’re looking for an affordable and decent place to stay, this hostel is a good choice.

Basic dorms but very friendly staff with a good bathroom and kitchen! Plenty of storage space. The outlets were far from the bed but that’s minor.

Overall, a lovely hostel. Bunkrooms are nice. All the common rooms are maintained well. It’s in a great location, walkable to lots of restaurants, stores, and markets.

Very cheap and convenient (located in central city), but smells bad, like someone hasn’t showered for a while. So I don’t recommend unless you are desperate for place to stay. I would’ve paid a little extra to stay at somewhere at least not obnoxious.

Great location, beds are ok and look clean at least. Unfortunately there are cockroaches in the kitchen, don’t know where else. All cheap hostels in the city are cheap for a reason unfortunately

As a return guest Surprisingly, this time we got a pretty good room! and a city view from our room windows. If I can give 4.5 star. 0.5 just some space for improvement. Happy with our stay!
