Clean and welcoming. Great customer service. Quick response to emails and phone calls. Overall, it was a very good experience, so I will return again soon.
The location is great, a few minutes walk to the shops and restaurants! It is located in CBD.
Staff are friendly.
The room is neat and has all the basic amenities.
The hotel doesn't have an elevator or ramp, not friendly for people with disabilities, or anyone that has way too much luggage.
Facilities: very clean
Hygiene: not bad
Environment: very good
Service: very good
There are Chinese restaurants and other western restaurants nearby, overall it's okay
There are more Indians nearby
Luggage storage is possible for free
An excellent hostel located in a strategic location. Parking available for additional cost and they do have everything available for a backpacker. Good for long stay as well. Near and clean washrooms, dining area, you have everything you need.
It's quite far from the CBD and the entrance is a staircase, so it's inconvenient to have a large suitcase. It is helpful to have a locker with a key individually. Also, it was helpful to be able to use the kitchen for 24 hours. I stayed at 3 in the backer, but this was the best.
I stayed one night in Hobson Lodge in a female room. As soon as I arrived in the area I wasn't feeling very comfortable however the lady at the reception was very nice and generally the people at the hostel seemed quite chill. The kitchen/common area isn't the biggest or cleanest. The room are okish as long as it is not full otherwise I understand why reviews were mentioning about the lack of air.
Overall score: 2.7/5 (Below Expectations).
Pros:
- Bathroom was clean.
- Room serviced every second day (clean towels/dishes, rubbish removed, bed made, tea/coffee topped-up).
- Carparks on 3 sides of building.
- Staff were friendly.
Cons:
- Bedroom floor dirty upon arrival (needed a vacuum and mop).
- Heat-pump was either on or off (arrived on a hot sunny day and wanted to cool down but 28° heat was only option. Had to just open window instead, but when someone started smoking outside, closed it).
- Noisy area with regular low-flying aircraft, loud traffic/sirens, and people talking at all hours (people outside or in hallway or neighboring rooms can be heard from our room with doors closed).
- Pillows very thin and hard.

KKERENBecause I registered for the 2-day group and need to gather at the Sky Tower early in the morning, I chose this relatively cost-effective one as a transit. First, the location is really good, and then the staff are also very enthusiastic; second, the room is very small and very small. It’s a 28-inch box or more. I’m not sure if I can lay it out flat. The other is that the hotel is very old and has a sense of age. Finally, if it is only used as a transit and can accept old facilities, you can choose, because 500 yuan a night The price/performance ratio is really high. I ordered 2k for the Crowne Plaza a hundred meters away.

AAreshanMy colleague recommended it to me after staying there! This is the first time I've stayed at a hotel of this model. First of all, it's located in the city center and the transportation is very convenient! There's a big supermarket right outside the door! It only takes a few minutes to get to the famous ancient buildings and the Sky Tower, a popular landmark nearby. The most convenient thing is that there is a kitchen on the first floor! You can go to the supermarket and buy the food you want to cook! I would say this is the most satisfying and suitable experience for me to go to Auckland alone! I will stay here again next time I come.

GGuest UserI returned to the motel because my first stay was so pleasant and hosts are just very warm and welcoming.My family circumstances are challenging and the hosts are very understanding and helpful. The motel is as expected for about a three-star but is lovely and clean. It is great to have the pool for a dip as well
Aanoniem86Had a very late arrival, but the service was amazing. The room was super clean, and the location is perfect with stores and restaurants around the corner and 10 minutes drive to the beach
AAnonymous UserThere is no heating and cooling in the room, and there are public bathrooms and toilets. There are four rooms to go. There is a simple microwave and air fryer in the room, a public kitchen is available, and there are dining tables in the lobby. It is an 8-minute drive from the airport and is suitable for early self-driving flights.
