Stayed at the YHA International for more than 8 nights in total. The rooms are a good size and well cleaned (compared to other hostels in New Zealand). Same for the showers, I never had to wait and they always looked clean and well maintenanced. Make sure you ask a room on the second floor, the first floor is less... More

This is a pretty average hostel. Good location (uphill from downtown), helpful staff, spacious kitchen, good place if you like to cook on your travels. Rooms could be cleaner! This is an expensive city, and you know it if you stay here in a private room--about 100 dollars for a somewhat dirty and stuffy room. Please wash the duvets more... More

I stayed here for 3 nights over a weekend in Auckland. The location is ok, about 10 minutes walk from the bus station. The price was excellent. Facilities were ok, the showers and bathrooms were average and the 6 bed dorm I was in was quite cramped. The wifi speed was terribly slow. More

I was staying there more than one week. The service personal is very very friendly and helpfully. But I have to say that the room are not the best, for example sometimes you have a safe which is not safe, and a bed which is very loud if you are moving. More

We stayed in a double ensuite. The location of the hostel for the city is great. Our room had very little ventilation. The bathroom could not dry during the day, which meant is was very smelly. More

If you are going to stay at the YHA in Auckland (I guess the YHA is not the best option there, I just stayed because the better hostels were fully booked) stay at the International, not the City one. I stayed at both and would definitely recommend this one. I spent NYE there and found it adequate. There are good... More

The place is ok for a night but reminded me of university halls of residence. Very noisy rooms, the beds are not really long enough for an adult over 5 foot eight, the room was not cleaned in a week we were there, also no where to hang wet towels etc in the room or anywhere else. The staff don't... More

Excellent place for many reasons. The place allows 24-hour check-in, and I checked in at 1:30AM. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. It's a bit of a walk to the Auckland attractions. For the price, definitely look to stay here. More
