Located in one of the best locations in Auckland, Haka Lodge brings a new class to the upmarket style of backpackers. This historic building has been meticulously redeveloped/restored to create a new industrial loft style backpackers with the newest furnishings, custom made beds and brand new hotel style mattresses. Make sure you stay at the best!
I've stayed in alot of hostels this wasn't great...start with the positives it was very cheap,good kitchen area and they cleaned areas thoroughly . Bathroom and toilets were OK cleaned regularly. The rooms are tired they need a re furb , the beds were comfy but there was just a tired feeling. As a brit I didn't feel it was particularly friendly and as a solo traveller I found it not particularly friendly. I don't think it helps there's no nice views or outside space. I personally would only recommend if you are in a group and want somewhere cheap

Overall, the hostel was great for the basics - clean, simple, enough space to yourself and the appropriate services to make the stay comfortable and easy - food location as well. However, it’s right next door to a live music venue that would be playing loud music until midnight/1am and was so loud that it felt like it was in my room! Made it very hard to sleep and frustrating when I was getting over jet lag and trying to sleep at 9/10pm. There were also very loud pipes in the room that would make loud noises with rushing water. I stayed in the 20 person mixed dorm and found everyone to be friendly and respectful. Wouldn’t return here because of the noise and I didn’t feel they had great service - staff didn’t do much for checkin and no hostel activities or services.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Did one night in a solo room (extremely comfortable, nicely decorated and towels provided). Other nights were spent in a six bedroom dorm - also comfortable and spacious. Communal areas all very clean and well maintained. Only point to note is that the dorm I was in faces the main street and the noise overnight was noticeable. Easily managed with earphones or earplugs but without those sleep might have been a bit hard. Not an issue in the individual room.

The staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean and in the bathrooms and showers there's free stuff provided. The location on K road is awesome, great for a night out. The kitchen is big and there is a nice lounge area on the ground floor. They also have a luggage room available.

Love it! Great place and excellent vibes. Staff and other occupants were so friendly and helpful, felt very homey. Was very clean and facilities were excellent. Could not recommend this place more! Location was alright, close to facilities but also close to numerous bus stops that take you to other main areas of town.

Great location, decent wifi, beds are good and the added curtains was a great bonus. Not as good as I imagined from the ratings but it's still okay. Plenty of people staying there, was a good buzz around the place.

The hostel is not clean, kinda messy for me (Public area and rooms) Staff are very nice and responsive. The location is central but full of bars and pubs around. I stayed Friday and Saturday, both nights are very loud until 1-2am, hearing people singing karaoke. Not recommend if you have other options.

Hi Sherry! Thanks so much for your feedback, I'm glad you felt welcome at our place :) I'm sorry if you felt the lodge was not up to its usual sparkly standard, we've recently had a huge increase in guests since the borders have opened and with lots more guests comes lots more stuff! We will try to ask people to keep their belongings a bit more tidy. Happy onward travels - Naomi
