AI Summary
Convenient central location with friendly staff, but cleanliness issues including sticky surfaces, dirty chairs, mites, and bad smells. Ideal for city exploration but may not meet high cleanliness standards.

PROS: In the city center and close to bus stations. The staff is super nice and helpful. The price is really nice. They offer free luggage storage before check-in/after check out which was super helpful. CONS: Some curtains would be nice for some privacy. The room was not that clean and it was quite smelly. Some shelves would be nice in the shower. I don't think there are enough shoer and toilet for that many people.

The location was great, right in the center of town. I was worried because some reviews said the showers didn't have hot water, but when I went there, the hot water worked just fine. There was a lot of hair on the sheets, which was a bit disappointing.

It wasn't very clean, but I thought it was reasonable for the price in Auckland city. It was right next to Sky City, so it was easy to get around.

The price/performance ratio is really high, it is the cheapest place to stay in Auckland. But I don't think it is suitable for permanent stay, the bed is very uncomfortable and makes noises all the time. The kitchen is very good, and you can meet people from many countries here.
