The cleaning could be better, but nothing major. I would choose this Lylo again.

The WiFi was fast and they have comfortable facilities for working remotely. The bed was also very comfortable and the location is perfect, walking distance to any point of AKL CBD.

It was a bit too big for a hostel, felt hotel like sometimes. A lot of couples and groups around so not the best for a solo traveler. The luggage store was full and I wasn’t allowed to check in an hour early without a charge. The dorm rooms were windowless so dark in the mornings!

The pods gave good privacy and had chargers/lights right by the bed, felt secure with key card access to rooms and lockers, big kitchen, nice bar area, modern and clean facilities

Modern and comfortable.

I found that the pod got quite hot some nights.

Pods offered a lot of privacy compared to other hostels. Check in and check out were very straightforward. There were plenty of bathrooms and showers. Location is great, right in the middle of the city.

This list is extremely short. I'd say the prices in the bar are a little high but about average compared to Auckland. A good idea would be like a wristband for the day for a set price and drink as much as you'd like if you're staying there (saw it at some other hostels abroad). Also, a small free breakfast would've been nice given the price. But I really can't find anything else negative to say about Lylo it's a 10/10 in my opinion.

This was by far the nicest hostel I have ever stayed in. The private king suite is so well worth it for about $100 USD a night. The staff was amazing, and let me upgrade my room and continue keeping the same room the entire time I was there! Facilities were exceptional especially in my room and the hostel vibe was great. People were extremely friendly and the bar staff was amazing. The benefit of having the bar right down stares made it incredibly easy to socialize and meet new people all the while eating good food and drinking. They also give you 15% off in the bar if you're staying at Lylo, but make sure you tell them otherwise some of the bar staff will forget. If I'm back in Auckland no place I'd rather stay, in addition, they have a parking lot right next door which is super convenient, and amazing staff at the tourist center! All in all, the best place I've stayed in a long time! 10/10

N/a - everything was great.

Booked private room/bathroom and it was perfect for our 1 night stay. Beds were comfy and shower was nice. We arrived very late due to flight delays and unfortunately didn’t really get to spend time there. Parking next door was easy and contactless check-in was relatively easy. Space seemed very cool from what we saw. WiFi worked great. We would stay here again. Not an issue for us, but our room didn’t have a window. We didn’t mind as we were very tired and this allowed us to sleep in.

Best stay in Auckland. Private room is well worth it.

Lock of the personal locker in the room had to be re coded.

Clean, comfortable, good value for money and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Exactly what you want from a hostel!

Bedrooms are tiny

New, clean, fresh, good kitchen and social spaces

The pod was nice, but it was a bit inconvenient with the narrow space in the middle of the room when taking out the bag and organizing belongings.

Facilities were well-maintained, creating a pleasant environment. The staff were also friendly.

Not an overly social atmosphere

Great facilities, big locker for each person and individual power sockets in the pods.

No windows (but we did know that!)

Very convenient place to stay in the city! Good value, very clean and easy self check-in / out.

Everything is good except the bed. When close the bed blinds, it’s airless, even turn the air fan on. It could be better if improved.

No window in the room.

Really, really comfy bed! Nice and clean room and en suite. Restaurant downstairs with good food and deals on daily.

My room was a bit dirty on New Year’s Eve…..

Clean, happy people, new modern. Good stuff, helpful.

Stayed in December 2023

Pods are hot and the fan was broken in mine. Bar downstairs offered discounts for guests but the bartenders never ask if you’re a guest so you always have to remind them

The downstairs bar was great for meeting people. Good WiFi. Plenty of toilets and showers.

It is quite hot in the room… so if you close the pod it may be suffocating for some people

Everything was clean and the staff very helpful

Couldn’t get one extra pillow which I thought was totally weird. They only supply one pillow per person

Great value for money, comfy bed, clean bathrooms, awesome coffee from Lucy’s

No window, although sometimes a blessing, did make it tricky to get out of bed in the morning!! Location is a bit of a walk from most things, about 20 mins to the harbour, so just make sure you’re happy to walk :)

We had a double twin bed en suite room whilst travelling round NZ for new year. Room felt clean, comes with towels and bedding, comfy pillows and decent storage space under the beds. No window came in handy for those tired post-travel days! Easy check in and luggage storage. Well connected to our kiwi experience bus to Paihia so that made travelling beyond Auckland very easy! Super comfy and felt safe.

Well it's a bit expensive, but the hostel is really clean and modern. Moreover, it's a big place, and I felt people tended to be on their own, so meeting people can be somehow challenging, and the pods don't arrange things. Fortunately, the bar helps to break the ice.

I really enjoyed this place. Very clean and friendly. Since I arrived in the early morning, I could store my backpack and use the hostel's facilities. The kitchen and the bathrooms are tidy and clean. The pods in the dorms allow you some privacy. The bar is nice, they organised an event for NYE (didn't attend though). The hostel seemed me to be also a good meeting point for backpackers on a working holiday visa.

The location was fantastic! The staff, Matthew at the front desk, was very welcoming and very accommodating. The kitchen was closing soon but the bar manager placed our order and kept our food warm until we arrived. It was very much appreciated because we hadn’t eaten all day. The facilities were very clean and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating New Years before flying home. Thank you!
