Great location in the CBD, double room with ensuite was an amazing value for what you get. Clean room and linen. Never used the kitchen facilities but looked nice. more

If you are on a tight budget this hotel offers good price for the location in the middle of the city. There is no parking lot and you have to pay or, as we did, park on the street for free but it is a fair walk from the hotel (we found a place about 20-30 min walk away). The... more

My partner and I stayed at Base Backpackers in Auckland in January 2008. The hostel is centrally located, but if you have a car, there is no parking. You have to park in pay lot down the street or at the mall. Upon arriving, reception was very chaotic and it took a while to check in. This was our first... more

I stayed at Base Auckland Fort St for 3 nites in the Sanctuary (girls-only rooms) and I was very happy Good Points: * Very clean, large rooms with big lock up spaces in each room. * Very clean bathrooms / shower area * Heaps of shower cubicles meaning you never have to wait, even in the busy times of the... more

Finally at 12.30am i could stand it no longer and went to complain only for it to start again 15mins later. A bit unlucky you may think but this is... more

It is situated by clubs that have loud music into the early hours of the morning. I booked by phone and confirmed on the day of arrival, yet there was no record of my booking. The staff rudely told... more

I stayed here at the end of a Contiki Tour - the tour manager was going to stay there, so I thought it would be OK. It was perfect. Great location, great room - very clean. We had a room for three, it was a little small but we were only stopping for one night. If you're on a budget... more

I expected a lot less than what I got. The hostel was clean, lockers under your bed to lock up your stuff. Central location easy to walk anywhere in the city. Internet cafe, bar, laundry, kitchen, hot tub, sauna. Awesome package and the Airbus from the airport drops you off and picks you up right in front. This was an... more

We stayed here in February and March on a few different occasions and did not have a single bad experience. It is such a clean and welcoming place. This would be an excellent place to go to if you have not stayed in a hostel before-would ease you in gently to the way of life. However this hostel is far... more
