PROS: In the city center and close to bus stations. The staff is super nice and helpful. The price is really nice. They offer free luggage storage before check-in/after check out which was super helpful.
CONS: Some curtains would be nice for some privacy. The room was not that clean and it was quite smelly. Some shelves would be nice in the shower. I don't think there are enough shoer and toilet for that many people.

The location is perfect, located in the heart of the city centre, 1 mins walk to the nearest countdown/woolworth. You can find anything you need in the area, you name it, you will find it.
It is best for traveller first leg in New Zealand. There is a big common area, You get to meet a lot of backpackers which you can exchange information.
Highly recommended.
The only short is that the water in the shower is too low, it is like spraying water on you.

Pros: the hostel is located in the city center. U can find a plenty of restaurants around u, only 2 mins walk to the grocery, skytowner & aa centre… Besides, the price of living is really friendly.
Cons: to be honey, the bed linen is little bit dirty, the water
pressure of showerhead does not perform well. The fridges have not enough space to storage stuffs for all customers.
