Newton Lodge Auckland

Really clean place, very welcoming owner and staff. Did not regret staying here. Travelers were all a good bunch too. Wished I stayed in Auckland longer to be honest.

I stayed in the eight bed female dorm and had a generally positive experience. The room was very sheltered from outside noise and roommates were considerate. Bunks are a bit creaky and there isn't a huge amount of space for everyone's bags, but the shared bathrooms are clean, showers good and kitchen usable. WiFi was also good enough for video calls and films. The surrounding area is a bit intimidating after dark and the hostel is tucked away up a random concrete staircase. I didn't have any issues though. Basically, it's a simple no frills hostel which does what it says on the tin and is in a good central location.
