    Everything are good except cost

    All staff are really kind and good. The facilities are also good. Bed was comfortable and soft. Bed has a door so I could enjoy my time. Here is the best accommodation I've ever visited.

    Value for money in a good central location

    There wasn't anyone to welcome us when we arrived so checking in was a bit confusing, but once we realised we just had to walk up to the desk and use the tablets to check ourselves in it all made sense and was easy.

    We were looking for a cheap place to stay as we were going on the Hobbiton Tour the next day and needed to be picked up from a central Auckland Hotel (but didn't want to pay hotel prices!). So we booked a private room and it was perfect for what we needed, comfy bed, towels, private space and access to big bathrooms/showers (which were shared but were nice and clean and empty). The bar and cafe downstairs was vibey, we wished we could have had a drink or breakfast there in the morning but were in too much of a rush!

    the room space was too small for 4 people, the bathrooms could have more hooks and places to hang clothes.

    The Hostels location is great, close to the sky tower and the Harbour, in addition to several supermarkets and local shops nearby. the room I stayed in was nice and comfortable too. bathrooms were ok.

    Budget design stay in Auckland central
    • Leisure trip

    As nice as the rooms and the whole place are, it's noisy. We heard conversations and alarms (from the private rooms next to us?), at some point there was somebody (from the staff?) walking around shouting over a megaphone. The bar downstairs, which is completely open to the Lylo, does not seem to have any insulation whatsoever and on the night of our stay hosted a dj (which we did not know in advance). It contrasted with the Lylo's request that we should be considerate of other guests from 10pm. A minute thing in the bathroom: Unlike the space in front of the toilet, the raised shower does not have any anti-slip protection. Might be helpful, as the first seconds can otherwise get very slippery.

    We booked a night at Lylo before heading out to the airport the next morning. Before checking in, we deposited our luggage in the luggage room (locked). At 3pm, we checked in (a staff member was there and offered to take care of it) and got assigned a room (we had booked a private queen and requested a quiet room). 228 is a corner room next to the chill-out room on the second floor. – The next morning we checked out and again left our luggage in the luggage room for a few hours until heading to the airport. The room was very functional yet spacious and cleverly designed (lots of storage space). The bed was very comfortable, we slept really well. All good with shower, sink, toilet etc.

    The laundry is a bit expensive, the pods did get quite warm and it can be a bit anti social in the rooms because of the pods.

    The overall look of the hostel is really cool, it’s very clean, the beds are comfortable, the showers are good and the bar is fun.

    new construction smell. obviously going to be the case with it being so new but some form of warning or other mitigation would be helpful perhaps.

    location was satisfactory for many amenities.l and staff were very welcoming.

    On the odd occasion key card will stop working on the lockers, but if you just head down to reception, one of the lively staff will come up and reset the locker for you!

    They played music from 9:30am until 9:30pm in all areas including corridors outside your bedroom. The windowless rooms also became a bit claustrophobic after a few days so wouldn’t recommend staying for longer than that.

    Great location with good facilities. The communal areas were great and the kitchen was big enough for you to be able to cook whenever you wanted. Beds were comfy too and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The 24/7 reception was also a big bonus if you’re arriving late into Auckland.

    Not having a window meant the room was a bit stuffy and pitch black. Didn't realise there was no tea or coffee provided.

    Excellent location - very convenient access on and off the motorway in central Auckland. Very modern, clean room with a comfy bed. Soundproofing was excellent - a great night's sleep.

    the Boxes in the Kitchen are by far Not enough for all the people, also there should be a better eye on how people clean the Kitchen, because 80% dont clean After themselfes and a lot of our stuff Went missing out of our Boxes

    it was modern and the decoration around the whole Establishment set a cozy Atmosphere. There were different seating Areas all over and the Personal was really friendly

    Loved my stay here!! Such a funky vibe, soo modern, vibrant. Smells great, has nice plants and pictures and decor that has an awesome feel to it! Pods are super comfy and private, blocks out all light with the blinds, charger inside and pockets to store valuables. Soo much space. Bathroom feels like some luxe dressing room with the plush chairs and mirrors for your makeup! Nicest hostel I’ve stayed at in Nz and I’ve travelled all over north and South Island!! Staff were also really friendly and helpful. Thank you Lylo :))

    There were corners of my pod that had definitely gathered dust and hadn't been cleaned. I also wish all lockers were on the ground as I couldn't easily lift my suitcase into mine.

    Pods should be a staple of all city hostels. Two outlets as well as USB connector, many places to store things in the pod, good sized locker, and darkness at night! Brand new hostels with very clean facilities, large hallways and a lot of spaces to hang out on all the floors. Step-less access which made it easy with a suitcase. Staff was helpful at getting me checked in and out, and the self-check in machines also worked really well.
