The pods can get hot and there is no window so it can feel stuffy. Also the rooms themselves are small so not a lot of room to move around each other and luggage. The pod environment can also feel antisocial and not easy to determine if someone is in them. Might be good to have a do not disturb switch/ label I thought the kitchen was small for the size of the hostel. Staff were helpful when I had queries.

This is a pod hostel so it was nice to have a bit of privacy in the dorm and the pods came with multiple charging points, storage pouches and a mirror! Each pod comes with a large locker which can fit a big backpack. It was a modern hostel and the room was clean

Good, clean communal bathroom facilities. Good restaurant downstairs.

The hallways can be quite loud and the sound travels easily as people walk past, the room was very small

The location was great, very close to the SkyDrive bus terminal in the city, just a short easy walk. The staff were very friendly upon arrival and the check in process was quick and easy. The power outlets had USB ports, which also made charging devices very easy.

Value for money was very high. For $160 for one night I'd expect my own bathroom

Very clean and good facilities

Rooms with no windows really did suck, far more than I thought it would. Rooms were super basic. Harsh lights. Just not very nice really

If you are looking for a vibe rather than comfort and cleanliness this is the spot! Lylo is one of the most expensive hostels in NZ, yet the pods are uncomfortable, fan in the room and fan in the pod were too loud. I stayed in two different rooms and both were noisy. There were no windows in the rooms. toilets and showers were not clean. The kitchen was too small. Only two fridges were supplied and there wasn’t enough space for the food. Not enough dinnerware or kitchenware and worst of all there wasn’t enough prep or cooking area.

Automated check-in and check-outs, having a bar/restaurant on the ground floor, enough seating areas, great number of toilets and showers. Staff is amazing. A Parking spot near by.

If you are being booked into a room without a window, you should be notified when booking. It made me feel quite uncomfortable regarding fire safety and didn't like not having daylight to wake up to. Bed was not very comfortable and bathroom not private at all for a twin share.

Location. Modern.

Stayed in March 2024

Temperature of room. Recommend an option or timed dimming of the lights in the rooms as they are very bright and it is very hot in the pods with the door closed

Recieved multiple emails, several each day, prior to and during stay asking me to check in, follow qr codes, click here to get more info but none of the links ever worked. When we did arrive it was easy to check in with a live human at the desk so not sure why all the attempts to make check in electronic? Never recieved reply to my question about late check in when i made booking. We arrived late at night, after 10pm, kitchen was closed. Ability to make or even purchase a cup of tea on arrival would have experience

Great location for CBD. Lovely hot showers. Quiet bedroom. We visited to attend Pink concert and were able to walk comfortably.

Price for what we got. Too over priced

Way to expensive for quality of room.

It was clean and looked new

Stayed in February 2024

Expensive for what you got. Lift also didn’t stop at all floors which we weren’t told so had to get out and change lifts to be able to get to our room after checking in.

Felt clean and the bed was comfortable. The facilities even though shared were easily accessible. A good place for a stop over.

No windows makes you feel rather enprisoned. Very thin walls so neighbours' and general noise is loud. The common kitchen availability is nice, but the smell was horrible when we were there. Not really nice to be around.

Hygiene was good, sufficient showers and toilets. Modern building. Comfortable bed. Good location, relatively near the city centre.

Stayed in March 2024

There are no windows in the room - imside is very muggy and humid. My request about being in a room with women only, was ignored :(

Very fiendly staff, clean bathrooms, nice shared space Smart self check-in/out Baggage storage

Room had no window, feel this should have been mentioned at time of booking.

Affordable accommodation in town. Great for a short stay.

Could have done with a mini fridge. And maybe at least one comfortable chair in the room

Location was great

Although the pods were good and private, they did get very hot. Tried to use the fan provided but wasn't strong enough

Very clean and tidy. Good central location. Good security for luggage.

Door was knocked on at 8pm because "we were too loud..." I have an 11 year old who was giggling... also hated the "use the internet to check in and out" concept when my phone was flat

Liked ammenities

The room was set up as a disabled room, but there was hardly any thought as to how someone (able bodied or disabled) might use the room. There were no hooks on doors or walls, so the only place to leave a towel in the bathroom, for example, was on the toilet seat. There was no toilet roll holder so when the roll fell from its balance point on the handrail onto the wet room floor it was unusable. Similarly in the room there were hardly any horizontal surfaces, just a small bench seat and a single tiny bedside table (no bedside lamps). The room could have been very comfortable with just a little extra imagination and thought.

It was a big comfortable room but…

Room 223 was designed by someone who was more interested in flash than function. The wet shower did not easily drain, had standing water around toilet for hours. Had to splash about to get it to drain. Light switches were awkwardly placed. Room was small, which was not a problem, but there were no good places to put luggage, the under bed storage was greatly exaggerated, would only fit a backpack. If you are claustrophobic, ask before you book, our room, a twin ensuite, did not have a window (guess that is an amenity, lol). The room would probably be better as a single if they can figure out the shower situation.

The location.

Bag room full, one staff member offered zero help or empathy, eventually another staff member advised tgerr were storage lockers that could be rented. Super annoyed that the first guy didn't offer this and wasn't helpful at all.

The food and service at Lucy's Cafe were absolutely terrible, I would not get food or drink in there ever again. It was a nice place to sit but it kinda stops there.

The public spaces were very stylish, the room was just right for what I needed. Stayed In a queen bed room with its own bathroom.

Stayed in March 2024

Women's bathrooms level 1& 2 weren't clean even after cleaning, lack of toilet paper rooms weren't cleaned after guests that left

Location is good and staff is helpful
