Superb

Probably the worst hostel I've...

Liked: Let's say I liked the location but it wasn't great either. It's close to downtown but, for example, a normal supermarket is still very far away. But the location is the only thing that I didn't dislike.
Disliked: To begin with, the room doors cannot be locked. I spent 4 nights there and at least two days the reception guy was gone (it's kind of ok as he left a note with a phone number you can call). Outside door is open during the day, so anyone could enter the hostel and any room. Secondly, most of people who stay there are long-terms. It means that they have a lot of stuff (huge backpacks, suitcases) which makes sense as they arrive to NZ for a year. But the rooms are simply too small! If you don't want anyone to touch your stuff, don't come here. Someone will touch it because there is not enough space in the room and your stuff will simply be on a way. If the rooms were possible to lock and if each room had one bunk removed, I'd give much higher score. However, there were a few more things. The smell in the room wasn't good. Also, if you aren't tall, you'll face a challenge to get onto top bunk as the first step is quite high. Also, no guard rails, so if you move a lot when you sleep you might fall. Lockers in the room are very small. And if you get a bottom one good luck reaching it as a lot of stuff blocks it. Common area is kinda okay but it's the same room as kitchen, so if you are sensitive to food smells, bear that in mind.

Overall okay.

Disliked: Expensive for what it was. Noisy at night. That is from residents - not from external noise.

Good
