Hostels in Karaka

"Great stay. My capsule was well equipped with dual USB-A/C ports and not a speck of dust in sight. This place is beyond clean - like the love child of Ikea and a Japanese capsule hotel. I don’t really have any negatives to speak of. They have daily activities (some paid, some free), a huge kitchen with a much welcomed free food basket, and a cheap cafe/bar with a nice 10% discount to make it even cheaper. Nothing to complain about here. "

"Best hostel I’ve stayed at so far in NZ! It’s super quiet but sociable, the staff are great. Shower rooms are very clean and plentiful. Can’t wait to stay when I’m in Auckland next! "

"I stayed in a shared room with 20 beds but only like 5 other people actually there. It was pretty chill, great location and access to lots of restaurants and downtown Auckland right there. Lots of lockers including under my bottom bunk, just used my own lock and had no issues with it. Showers nice and hot, very clean space overall. Great big kitchen and the staff was awesome. Would stay here or another haka lodge again for sure!"

"Nice staff and clean. Excellent hostel !! "

"This place accomplishes everything you are looking for when you are traveling on a budget."

"Well located for walking into the CBD. Parking was secure. The room was spacious including the bathroom. There was a constant background noise from the pipes presumably but didn't disrupt sleeping. "

"The room was very nice , bathrooms great as well as rest of facilities . This was one busy hostel , and everyone seemed to be having a great time. "

"Friendly helpful personnel, am going to stay again… i recommend this place "

"Good value for money. Just 15min walk downhill to downtown"

"As an old guy, HiT was quite satisfactory. There are music venues close by, noise was an issue one night. The common areas could do with a spruce up .. "

"Lack of secure parking. But other than that very nice stay. Comfortable bed, nice shower"

"Great place to stay and was near everything. Staff was excellent and looked after us."

"Good clean and convenient "

"Lovely friendly staff, good location. This is not fancy accommodation by any means but it will keep you warm & dry for the night! "

"Wouldn’t really recommend staying here. The noise from the partying on the street outside makes it really hard to sleep and the room itself was not very clean."

"The most disappointing thing about this place was the bathroom facilities. There was mould everywhere in the shower - up the walls, on the ceiling. The shower curtain looked liked it hadn't been changed in decades...it was scary to touch. The place also smelled of cigarettes....not very pleasant. While it is a hostel, I have certainly stayed in better hostels both in Auckland and major cities around the world. By far the worst hostel I have stayed in."

"Awful. No bath mat, soap, bin, glass/cup. Filthy lockers, poop in toilet. Holes in walls, filthy walls. Tv ripped off wall. One neighbour making disgusting noises, clearly very ill. Another screaming super offensive abuse. Nearly called police. Extremely upset. Felt very unsafe."

"We booked this property because it was a handy location, unfortunately we had also booked it because it said we could have 3 separate beds and because I was booking it for 3 students that didn't really know each other it was appropriate they have their own beds. I have just been told they were only provided with a double and single bed. This has put me in a rather awkward position. They were not confident to ask for this to be changed."

"False advertising. Rude staff. Beds with one small blanket in winter. Old building and freezing cold-no insulation. Bathroom tap didn't turn on. Booked for 3 nights, thinking it had a private bathroom as advertised. Upon check in found out no room had private bathroom. All shared. Refused to refund me any money. Even after showing them the advertisement online. Didn't stay and booked elsewhere. Only parking available is pay and display down the road that is more expensive than the room itself. "

"Backpackers small building was crowded (taken over) by a bunch of thugs, having meetings inside. "

"This is our third visit and every time it was a delightful experience. Thank you Roomie Jonathon Knott "

"The staff were very accomodating and helpful! Great customer service "

"Value for money "
