LyLo Auckland, an EVT Hotel

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.

Super clean modern hostel, lots of social events on and a big kitchen. Pods were really comfy and bathroom was always clean with lots of showers and loos.

I used this hotel again. Because i really love this hotel. So comfortable even it is share room. I recommend you to bring bath towel and shampoo and body soap. Everything is so clean. The location is so close to the tower.

I tried to call hostel repeatedly in two days prior with no response. When I arrived for check in, myself and another guest were ignored by the staff.
