LyLo Auckland, an EVT Hotel

I appreciated the low laundry fee! The facilities and room were clean and comfortable! However, I was a little disappointed that the room had no windows, so it was hot and a little damp in the room. I'm glad I have good security.

We arrived late at night but check in was simple. Decent location with a short walk to the China town area of Auckland with plenty of restaurants to choose from. Rooms were clean, quiet and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay here again and happily go to any other lylo locations too! Staff were all friendly and helpful as well!

Very busy and vibrant hostel with a bar attached. The bed was comfy but the room was lacking furniture - there was a chair but no proper table. Shared washrooms were well kept by everyone. A little distance from the main shopping area but near to sky tower (where you can get a chartered bus from the airport). Don't bother to do pre check-in online - they asked for a card for deposit / incidentals, and the card got charged for the rooms even though I have paid trip.com. Although the staff was prompt to do refunds, but lost like $20 on unnecessary fx rates and credit card fees. You will need to give your details onsite anyways, so save the time on something else. It would be better if the staff were more welcoming, but I guess it is tough with so many guests to handle every minute.

I stayed in a 4 people shared room. The room was comfortable with enough space to storage my backpacks. Each bed is in a pod which provides privacy. There is a shared kitchen with anything you need to prepare a meal, however it can get quite busy. Location is okay, you need to walk about 10 to 15 min to get to the center and a bit more to get to the shore.

Really great hostel. Social vibe and social spaces but also quiet in the rooms so can relax in peace. Pods are great but very warm and stuffy. No air to room as no windows/ventilation.

The place is perfect solo travelers. They have a big kitchen and nice location.
