During my travels thru Newzealand I have seen quite a lot of YHA Hostels. Normally YHA stands for quality but this one is completely different. I can not believe that this is in the YHA group! I could write forever but will just list the worst things: - Reception is run by different travellers every day. Lots of them cant... More

This was our first nights stay in New Zealand and we were a bit disappointed. We called at 3am from Auckland airport and the night watchman said there was 1 twin room available so we went straight there and this we were appreciative of, being so last minute. The room was average, we had it slightly discounted as we didn't... More

We paid 85$ a night for 2beds and nothing else, no bathroom, no waredrop, no towels.... And in addition you have to pay for internet....c Even though the facilities are good, your stay will be ruined by the incompetence and misorganisation of the staff. To be fair, I have to exclude the Housekeeping, which are doing a great job. But... More

I stayed only 2 nights in a 4-bed fem dorm, and it was one of the best hostels I found in NZ: a light for every bed, enough plugs and easy to find, clean bathrooms and normal human size for basin (somewhere else the basins were so little that it was almost impossible to brush your tooth, they were designed...

Having stayed at the "City" YHA I decided to move over to the International to give this hostel a tryout and compare. Only a couple of minutes away from it's sister hostel and 20 minutes or so walk from the harbor front up the gentle hill of Queen Street. Set off a less busy road I thought it much quieter... More

This is the first stop for me after arriving in New Zealand. It's quite convenient, just around 10 minutes away from the bus stop. The room is spacious, clean. It's a bit cold thou during winter. The room wasn't that warm enough. Kitchen is clean as well. It's located in the city. You can walk to the city and explore... More

YHA International is located on the route for the Airport Bus to the city. The hostel itself is 10-15 minutes walk to the ferry wharf and 2 minutes walk to Queens Street. I was given the 4 share female dorm right in front of the toilets. The format for the beds were good as the top bed is not directly... More

My partner & myself stayed here last night. The hostel is average which is disappointing considering it is a YHA. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are okay but not that clean. The rooms are a good size and were clean but beds not that comfortable. The price is good considering it is central. The worst part of our stay was... More

We stayed in a twin ensuite as a treat to get over our jet lag for the first couple of nights. The rooms were clean as was the bathroom. The people on reception were v helpful and gave us any information we required (helpful in a city where you have no clue). Kitchen was ok. Nice and clean but a... More
