Queen St Backpackers & Hostel

A cheaper option for a backpackers in the CBD, I stayed here one night on the way through Auckland. I just needed a bed for the night, and some sleep, which I did not get. The room was right next to the common area, and there was partying all night. Even though the reception is 24 hours, no one shut the party down. It was a good 5am before thing got quiet, and I only managed 2 hours sleep before having to get up. Was not impressed.

Good place to stay if you're looking for cheap accommodation in central Auckland, however it is extremely noisy so don't count on a good nights sleep. Also stayed in one of the shared bunkrooms and two of my friends had bed bugs and got bites all over their legs.... bring your own bedding

My friends stayed there while they were visiting me in New Zealand. They booked there because it was one of the cheapest options and because they didn't have to pay in advance. Although, they place smells really bad and the worst part is that given it's location on Queen street and above bars, they couldn't sleep in any of the nights they spend there. Only go there if you are on a tight budget, but don't say I didn't told you.
