Haka House Auckland K' Road

The accommodation was really comfortable, and the room was tidy and cozy. It was perfect for a short trip with friends. The location was convenient, and the staff were polite and helpful. Everything felt smooth and pleasant during the stay. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple and comfortable place.

Had an amazing one night stay. Love the digitised check-in & key dispenser, made it super easy. Room was clean, bed was very comfortable, and overall happy with the shared amenities. Definitely staying again soon!

Clean and friendly hostel in a very accessible location. Wooden bed frames are great as they’re stable and don’t budge when the other person in the bunk moves. Only downsides are a noisy fan/ac(?), bathroom lacks ventilation, and it’s next to a pub/bar - on the weekend in the evening I could hear and feel the vibrations of their music. The kitchen is also full of stuff - questionable if it’s all from people actually still present!! (I was there in low season)

STAY IN LYLO HOSTEL IF YOU CAN. HAKA IS Everything was bad. The room was noisy. The insulation was poor, and they were on the side of the street. The blond guy treated me so agressive—I don't know if he has unresolved emotional issues or something—but he was very unpleasant. He yelled at me for leaving my backpack for 10 minutes to eat breakfast and then leave. He forced me to quickly leave the hostel. The cleaners came in disruptively to "clean" for literally a minute, just to be on their part. The vibes are so low and bad. I don't are the colors, the people, the environment, but is drained energy place. Please note this owners; this treatment would significant in don't recommend your place and talk bad things. The another haka (city) is ok but you feel the selfish energy..... anyway, charge for everything (like storage or parking guests) is a shameless attitude for who are pay for a service.

Haka House itself ok, clean enough, decent rooms and close to attractions. But that’s the only upside - Rough part of town, homesless (albeit harmless) people in doorways and lying on footpaths, rubbish everywhere and generally pretty run down and unattractive part of city. If you value a good nights sleep DO NOT stay here, the noise is ridiculous. Drunk, drug affected screaming people at ALL hours and alarms constantly going off. Completely unsuitable for anyone other than backpackers or people on a budget. NEVER AGAIN.

Loved staying here, the people and atmosphere were really nice there. It had a rustic style that gave it a proper hostel vibe unlike some others around Auckland. Place was clean and staff were super friendly. The area is not the best but I never had any issues walking the street at night. The only issue I had was the dryer costs $6 and it didn't dry my stuff, I had to use it twice to get my stuff dry. Apart from that I'd recommend this to anyone.

Good Points:** It was my first time staying in New Zealand, and the accommodation was cheaper than the food prices at nearby restaurants, which was a plus. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped with plenty of utensils. **Bad Points:** I stayed for two nights, but for some reason, the card key didn’t work on the second night, causing a lot of trouble. I couldn’t even get back to my bed from the bathroom unless someone opened the door for me. It was very inconvenient. Also, there were noisy people in the lobby until midnight. The air conditioning felt too cold, and I didn’t find the location particularly great (though this might be because I’m not familiar with the city’s layout).

Honestly, really good for the price. Curtains on the bunk beds for privacy. Everything is nice and sturdy wood, and the mattresses are about as comfortable as you could ask for. Can't fault it.
