    I didn’t like people coming so late around 12 making noise they should have some kind of notice or something rules and regulations

    I like the environment and the new look inside

    checking in wasn’t as smooth because even though it was the slated 3pm, room was still not ready and needed to approach the staff. messaged the staff prior arrival that will be arriving ard 2 and was told unable to check in earlier but there is space to store luggage. when we arrived about 45mins before the check in timing and approached the staff to store the luggage, he said that if can store if u can find space.

    clean and compact environment with all the necessary facilities.

    We had a private room and there was no air flow at all. The staff told us the whole floor was connected with the aircon so they couldnt do anything but we had no windows and no aircon or flow so the room was very hot and stuffy.

    The decor of the hostel was nice and modern. Clean and spacious common areas with a cool bar inside. I thought the bathrooms were especially good for a hostel.

    Lylo generally exceeded hostel expectations, but the kitchen closing at 10pm is a huge downside.

    Kitchen closes at 10pm. No access to hot water or microwaves or anything. There are vending machines with minute noodles and pies and things but you can't heat them up with the kitchen closed. Huge downside, would make me reconsider hostel options.

    Wonderful place! The rooms were nice and clean and comfortable. Good location and wonderful sitting spaces. Lovely staff.

    all of the above!

    Stylish, comfortable, quirky, and surprising… This place is underestimated “Pod Hotel” is a perfect description. I found my pod, modern, solid built, clean & tidy. The bed was comfortable and quite spacey - The pod was well equipped with mirror, usb & power points. The lockers connected to each private pod are secured with one card for all level door, room door, pod locker which is hassle free. The outlay and design is so clever when we were there it was heavily booked yet we weren’t overwhelmed by lots of people. The bar / cafe & communal kitchen was classy with a good vibe. The media room had a moody business den atmosphere and you could type your own letters and post anywhere from the media to the world. The bathrooms & showers were ticked the boxes.

    Everything apart from the check in process was satisfactory.

    The check in process in theory would be convenient although the fact it did not work at all and there was only one person to accommodate a large amount of people trying to check in made the check in process not good at all. And then when we finally got to speak with the staff member we were told the room was still not ready for check in despite it being the stated confirmed check in time. Which would have been fine if we were given a heads up before arriving as we could have been out and about doing things instead of having to wait almost an hour to check in.

    Was a good location and good value stay. Would definitely stay here again! Although the check in process wasn't great, they did give us a voucher for a free cocktail/beer for the bar on site which was great!

    Kitchen is not large enough nor equipped enough for the size of the hostel. Impossible to find forks, pans etc during dinner time.

    Excellent choice for Auckland, pods are great and spacious, same for the lockers. Fantastic shared spaces (sofas etc).

    Having a 50min wait after the check in time for our room. They gave us 1 house beer voucher for 2 guests but we would have appreciated the offer of an hour later check out to compensate the time we paid for.

    Comfy bed, clean, decent pressure & hot shower, chrome cast TV function and WiFi didn't have issues, simple check out procedure.

    Shower didn't seem to drain if the bathroom light wasn't on. Neighbour's coming and going could be a bit noisy at night.

    Good location, clean modern amenities, easy to check in and out, and nice to have a restaurant on site.

    The only thing it was getting a bit too hot in the evening but someone brought in a fan so it got much better the next days Only wish the kitchen was a bit more organised and cleaner fridges but I can understand is a bit hard with so many people all the time in

    Wish more hostels would take notes from Lylo. Easy check in,card key that locks your cupboard too,very clean compared to other ones I have seen. The pod was spaceful, comfortable,had meshes to put your stuff in. Secret lighting in the room for all night comfort and nice panels for privacy.

    Toilet paper in the ladies bathroom Ran out at some point and took a while to get refilled; shower walls (especially on the bottom) could be cleaner.

    Very pretty and new hostel, sleeping pods and lockers in the rooms were spacious and good value.

    That the kitchen is closed after 22:00 (it would be better to close it for an hour and then ban only cooking/using the stove. E.g if you arrive late

    If you're claustrophobic is not the place for you, due to there aren't windows in the rooms, at least in my room... The kitchen was not clean.

    It was cool. I do like the bar and the atmosphere there.

    The website mentioned toiletries are fully provided and although they were, they were just bottles left for people to take into the shower so if the showers are busy, you might not get any

    Purposely booked Lylo since the website gave me those Japanese capsule hotel vibes and it did. In fact, I think it was fancier. I stayed at one in Japan and they were super efficient and although it was very comfortable, it felt a bit isolated as there was no common area to mingle with other people. What different with Lylo was, you get that efficiency and comfort, but you can also meet and mingle with other travelers if you prefer. Also love the quiet area!
