This place was an unexpected disaster. We arrived late at night after a 7.5 hour bus ride. We didn't want to go to a pace like nomads or base, and thought the cozy kiwi would in fact be cozy. we got on an ancient elevator that only worked when you slammed both the cage door and sliding door. like i...

I start to travel 3 years ago and I've been in so many backpackers but that one was one of the worst. People make noise until 3-4 am and the staff doesn't care, it's dirty, the toilet was block and the shower full of empty bottles. It's not a good place to stay.

Not a very commendable place to stay if you like cleanliness, was quite dirty. Great shower, but filthy cubicles. Bed was comfortable enough but the room 'with window' (frosted glass nowhere near the outside world) was stuffy. Friendly staff, but highly inebriated (I did get there late though!). Cheapest per dollar, but not best value for money for sure.

Amazing hostal!! Was there for a year with my 2 mates. And enjoyed everyday of it. Awesome place to work too :-D. Great family feel to the place. Meet so many new and amazing people too. Cant wait to return next year. See u soon wendy!!

I will continue to extend my stay here, it is a clean, friendly, Cozy hostel that is great for the budget traveller. The staff assist to make sure as best they can, that your needs are met. They have a great sized balcony and kitchen as well as a social area.

I don't review that often after staying in hostels, but the Cozy Kiwi was so bad, I really had to warn other backpackers about it!! I stayed here for one night at the end of my NZ trip, it was the cheapest around and lacking money, myself and 2 others decided on staying here. I would have rather not eaten... More

and that was just the staff, not the nicest hostel I've stayed in, was ok, a bit dirty and the staff were not the most friendly characters ever!

Bacpacker for young people who like clubbing and night life,if you like quiet hostels,thats not for you!!Also they don't want kiwi backpacker there but I met there some old kiwis who just got from prison etc,so don't know about safety there,sometimes there are partys till 5 am so you don't have to get some sleep when you are going to...

Stayed in this hostel recently for 2 nights whilst passing through Auckland - it is horrible!! The matress is a thin layer of sponge making the bed totally uncomfortable, the clientele are noisy until 4am, the bed had hairs on the sheet, there was a dog running around and the bathroom looked like the scene from Trainspotting!! On a good... More
