Haka House Auckland K' Road

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.

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.

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).

Great place to stay , friendly staff , kitchen is well equipped with an oven and grill and utensils. Beds are clean and comfortable Other guest are friendly and sociable it’s a good place to stay My favourite members of staff are Tiffany and Unai , Rachael is also wonderful Camille is also here

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.

I spent a few days there and I was quite disappointed. The fact is I have stayed in Haka House Auckland city and I enjoyed it there but here I didn’t .. The fact that the hostel is next to K’road is nice because it’s a vibrant street but for the private room it’s a no for me. - no ventilation in the bathroom (our towels remained wet for days) - no isolation for windows (we heard gunshots one night and we could basically hear everything happening on the street) - no chair in the room, you can only sit on the bed For the shared space, it’s a bit tight and overcrowded, unfortunately.. But the team is good.
