Called to inform Lylo that our flight to Auckland from Utah ran into bird engine problem and would be arriving early February 6th morning. It was guaranteed prepaid reservation. Left a message and no return call. Got to the property early Feb. 6th morning and no room available for quick rest before embarking on a cruise ship. Clerk informed me that reservation was cancelled. Well, why no response to phone call and message. We were so busy yesterday. How about guaranteed options to my sleepless flight into Auckland ? I will contact my credit card company to dispute the advance prepaid charge. Thanks !

Lovely start with a friendly travel guide. Very clean, well organized, safety with keycards. Only odd thing was bed was King sized but the light switch was on one side and then in the middle of the bed. Otherwise everything was fabulous!

Outstanding. The pod bunks give privacy, darkness, convenience with sockets, storage nets etc & comfort. Bathrooms are continually cleaned, kitchen area is huge & staff other best to keep on top when done residents don’t understand what clean as you go means. This is a great hostel in the heart of downtown just 10 mins walk from the bus station.

Okay if you’re sharing a room I guess

I booked a private room with ensuite and was disappointed. There were no windows, the sheets were synthetic and the bed was just okay. Otherwise the room was fine but way overpriced compared to other private options in the city.
