    Dont stay here if you value your safety. The place is occupied by gang members and other delinquents. Felt unsafe the minute we entered, were threatened and didnt even end up staying the night. Management offered no apologies let alone a refund. Avoid at all costs

    (Translated by Google) Rent a double room with shared bathroom very noisy because it faces the street but wide and bright. The mattress is not very comfortable since the springs are felt. They have very strict rules and for example you can go only 2hs a visit but they charge you a surcharge. Very similar price to other hostels (Original) Alquile una habitación doble con baño compartido muy ruidosa porque da a la calle pero amplia y luminosa. El colchón no es muy cómodo ya que se sienten los resortes. Tienen reglas muy estrictas y por ejemplo puede ir solo 2hs una visita sino te cobran un recargo. De precio muy similar a otros hosteles

    I stayed in this hostel for a while, it’s very clean and nice to live in. Staff is really friendly and helpful. It is not a hostel for party so if you are a chill, and just want to go out on the weeknd this is for you! The area is full of place to eat and there is good bars around ;) Follow the rules, its everything in this hostel you have to know.

    Do not stay here! There are plenty of much better options around here for similar price! The dorm room stunk so bad and was very unclean. The manager is extremely short with you and has no customer service skills at all. Showers are very weak. Very busy unpleasant experience!

    The rooms are clean, smell good as well as the bed sheets, blankets and pillow. The bathrooms are always cleaned and smelling good. Showers have good pressure and temperature. The service is pretty nice too. Kitchen was always clean and has plenty of cutlery and pans to do the work. Laundry has washing machines but you have to pay 2 dolars for wash and 2 for drying.

    (Translated by Google) The BK offers a very reasonably priced hostel which is quite centrally located (on K Road). It's a 15-minute walk to Queen St. or Ponsonby. Great. Furthermore, it is really clean, hardly any other hostel has such a cleanliness in Auckland. The staff is super friendly, the rooms are well equipped. The beds are a bit worn. Kitchen always clean and has everything you need. Anyone looking for a hostel shortly before departure or after arrival, would find it here. 👍🏼 (Original) Das BK bietet ein sehr Preis Leistung gerechtet Hostel an, welches recht zentral gelegen ist (an der K Road). Man kommt in 15 Minuten zu Fuß zur Queen St. oder Ponsonby. Echt klasse. Des Weiteren ist es wirklich sauber, kaum ein anderes Hostel hat in Auckland so eine Sauberkeit zu bieten. Das Personal ist super freundlich, die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet. Die Betten sind jedoch etwas durchgelegen. Küche immer sauber und bietet alles was man braucht. Jeder der kurz vor der Abreise oder nach der Anreise ein Hostel sucht, würde hier fündig werden. 👍🏼

    (Translated by Google) Decent hotel, clean and well located. A bit grim for a hostel. We had a room facing the street with windows that did not close properly. Result: very noisy on a Saturday night. Quality / price relationship ok. (Original) Hôtel convenable, propre et bien situé. Un peu sinistre pour une auberge de jeunesse. Nous avions une chambre donnant sur la rue avec les fenêtres qui ne ferment pas correctement. Résultat : très bruyant un samedi soir. Relation qualité/prix ok.

  • 3/5 Nicholas K. 5 years ago on Google
    Basic. A place to rest your head. Nothing more. Convenient location but a lot of noise from the street and nearby bars.

  • 5/5 Rose M. 5 years ago on Google
    Absolutely wonderful! My first hostel, and I was so grateful for how clean it is! My twin room was the perfect amount of space and privacy, and the bathrooms and kitchens were always very clean. I love the location on K road too. The only complaint I had was that our window was stuck open, so it got very cold at night. But I just got a blanket and layered up - nothing to worry about! :)

    Very nice people clean,in the center of the city

  • 4/5 Mara -. 5 years ago on Google
    Really nice hostel. Bathrooms are clean, beds were comfortable, little bit out of the city but that also makes it more quiet which I liked. Supermarkets are therefore a 15 min walk but convenience stores were right around the corner, so that made up for it :)

  • 5/5 Zack B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very helpful staff. Nice rooms that are very clean. Clean kitchen. Pool table and lounge for inside hangouts. Good area with lots of restaurants around as well. Good value per night.

  • 5/5 탁승연 5 years ago on Google
    This place is really clean. And it is in a good location, near Queens Street. The kitchen stays open all night, which allowed me to cook anytime. And they were always welcoming. Even the largest room has only 4 beds, so it is quiet everyday.

    I stayed here for about 3 weeks as I'm finding a job in Auckland. PROS: -Staff is friendly and helpful (especially the lady w/dogs at reception who was always this) -Bathrooms always stayed clean; tenants usually kept it clean and cleaners always did their job -On a quiet street, I barely heard any outside noise and it's easy to walk to shops or take the bus CONS: -For some reason, I couldn't get wifi on my laptop, just on my phone, even though I got wifi access on there at the last place I stayed at (however this may be more of a problem with my laptop than them I think) -Dryers take too long. When I first came here, it took me 2 hours to dry my load. If you put too much in at one time, it doesn't dry at all. -Thin walls, usually hear a lot when you're in a single room -Towels and blankets are not free, you need to pay $4 NZD each as they need to wash them afterwards -Elevator is rickety and always closes too fast Overall, despite all the cons I listed I didn't have any serious problems. Nobody bothered me and I had a decent time over there.

    Don't go Staffs are rude Toilet is horrible You can book another way better hostels with the same price

  • 5/5 Vaughn R. 1 year ago on Google
    Got a small room without windows, which is exactly what you would expect for the price. The room was really clean and the staff were really nice and helpful. Great location too. I had a work function in the city and really just needed a place to sleep afterwards. This was perfect for that.

  • 4/5 Kyle W. 1 year ago on Google
    For a hostel it’s great! Great location and comfy rooms. The only thing that I didn’t like was the constant smell of smoke in the hallway entrance at checkin but in room seemed to be fine. Staff super friendly.

  • 5/5 Marcel S. 10 months ago on Google
    I really liked this hostel a lot, I stayed there for 3 weeks. Staff is amazing, all of them honest hard working guys. I always felt safe, welcome and the atmosphere / other guests was super warm and friendly. Good and clean kitchen and bathroom Only disadvantage is the sound insulation especially when room/window is facing K-Road

  • 2/5 Carl 11 months ago on Google
    Stayed in one of the single rooms with no window. The carpet is a disaster, bedding had stains on. Stayed only one night and won’t return.

    I called regarding an incident on the night of the 29/09 at 4:30AM and was abruptly hung up on which i find super unprofessional and unhelpful

  • 5/5 Al B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot to put your head down. Nothing fancy but perfect if you need somewhere central. Loads of good take aways and a city fitness right outside which is handy if you're a member (which I am). Very happy with this place. With the current conditions, wishing them well.

  • 3/5 Michael J. 5 years ago on Google
    I got a private room for $50/night. The place was pretty much what you'd expect for that price, except for two things. The room didn't have any windows or ventilation. There was an air con vent in the ceiling but it was blocked up with cardboard or paper or something. There was a very loud fan whirring noise constantly coming fro the ceiling , perhaps from the blocked air con - luckily I had earplugs with me. As a hostel though the facilities were good - nice common area, very good kitchen.

    Excellent location, friendly staff and very clean. Has been a perfect stay for the start and end of our New Zealand trip!

  • 4/5 Christoph B. 5 years ago on Google
    The hostel is near the city centre, so you can reach everything by walking. It's clean except the kitchen, but it fit's the price.

  • 4/5 Marcel M. 5 years ago on Google
    Good Place to spent some days. A lot of friendly people and good staff who are always helpfull. :)

  • 1/5 Fanny F. 4 years ago on Google
    Very noisy at night, endless doors slamming by people going in and out of the rooms as it is paper thing walls. I have been to camping grounds around NZ cleaner than that and where the staff was actually concerned about their guest feedback which wasn’t the case here. Rude property manager thinking I’m just “a backpacker” and whatever I say doesn’t matter. Value each of your customers!

  • 5/5 Alois H. 3 years ago on Google
    Clean and tidy. In a great location with very helpful and friendly staff. I would recommend hands down to anyone who's looking for a quiet hostel in Auckland

    (Translated by Google) Don't go Korean staff is so rude I haven't ever met like that bad receptionist I don't know why people gave 5 star reviews This is a problem? ㅋㅋ I give you a bad seat that doesn't look like a blanket, and I use it in winter. My body is a problem. I didn't understand if I was paying for every time I endured because of the deposit. Outrageous (Original) Don't go Korean staff is so rude I haven't ever met like that bad receptionist I don't know why people gave 5 star reviews 와 한국인 직원 한국사람한테만 진짜 겁나 싸가지없음 반말 찍찍하고 추워서 이불 더 있냐니까 뭐 내몸이 문제라고?ㅋㅋ이불같지도 않은 배드시트 하나주면서 겨울에도 그거 쓴다고 내몸이 문제래ㅋㅋ내가 성질낸 것도 아니고 혹시 이불하나 더 있냐고 공손히 물어봤는데 어이가없음..아니 그냥 없다고 하면되지 아니 진짜 왜 계속 말할 때마다 시비를 거는지 이해가 안됬음 보증금 때문에 참았음 진짜 나는 계속 감사합니다 까지말하면서 착하게 대했음 보증금이고 뭐고 뭐라할걸 그랬나싶음 진짜 댓글 안다는데 이거 보고라도 가지마세요 내친구인 외국인한테는 겁나 착했음 그게 더 어이없음

  • 4/5 xnnx n. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very clean and tidy hostel with a good location, from which everything you need is within easy reach. In rooms with windows it is quite noisy from the street as the windows do not close well. This also causes it to draw a little. The walls are quite thin, so you hear so for example call his neighbors. I strongly criticize the washing machine and the dryer. Both cost 4 NZD each, but my laundry is neither really clean nor dry and smells a bit musty. (Original) Ein sehr sauberes und ordentliches Hostel mit guter Lage, von der aus alles was man braucht schnell zu erreichen ist. In Zimmern mit Fenstern ist es ziemlich laut von der Straße, da die Fenster nicht gut schließen. Das führt auch dazu, dass es ein wenig zieht. Die Wände sind recht dünn, man hört also zb seinen Nachbarn telefonieren. Stark kritisieren muss ich die Waschmaschine und den Trockner. Beides kostet jeweils 4 NZD, meine Wäsche ist jedoch weder richtig sauber noch trocken geworden und riecht etwas muffig.

    Good experience. Met some great people. Rooms can be a little cramped and windowless especially if sharing.

  • 1/5 Brenda F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I slept only one night, I did not like it. It looked dirty, smelling, and the look leaves a lot to be desired, very old and left. The beds are uncomfortable. (Original) Dormí una sola noche, no me gustó. Parecía sucio, con olor, y el aspecto deja bastante que desear, muy antiguo y dejado. Las camas son incómodas.
