Ideally situated in the Queen Street district of Auckland, Newton Lodge Auckland is situated less than 1 km from Aotea Square, a 12-minute walk from Auckland Art Gallery and 1.1 km from Aotea Centre.

The tranquility of the place and the respect for quiet hours, even though the hostel isn't large and many people were staying there. The bed was comfortable and you have the right to a locker, the bathrooms and showers were clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Great value for money hostel in Auckland. We booked a private room with en-suite bathroom which was comfortable and clean. The shared kitchen/lounge area was also clean and tidy and it was nice to have the patio area where we could sit and eat breakfast outside. The staff were very friendly and the free wifi worked well.

Set in refurbished historic building just across from Sky Tower, Surf ‘N’ Snow Hostel offers budget accommodation in Auckland CBD (Central Business District).

Excellent location. I had a solo room. The key was a little bit difficult to get into the room, but it would’ve been safe getting out in an emergency. There was no outside or street noise but in the early part of the evening there was some water gurgling in pipes but this stopped and did not affect my sleep. Staff were very helpful and I was amazed at how inexpensive it was for a solo room in the centre of town. I would definitely stay there again.

Located in a quiet tree-lined street, the 5-star City Lodge - Backpackers Accommodation is just 10 minutes' walk from central Auckland and the SkyTower.

Everything was great, except it would be nice to have a soap dispenser in the shower, and not just beside the sink outside the shower.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    By far the best Hostel in Auckland. The kitchen as well as the bathrooms are always clean, the staff is friendly and the other Backpackers are respectful. It is a little bit more expensive than the other Hostels, but it is definitley worth the money.
