Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It was the last day of 2025. It's difficult to book a place to stay in Auckland. I'm happy to find a place to stay in the hostel. The price was surging so I paid a much higher price for 12 people room but got grateful cuz they upgraded me to a better room with 8 people.
Negative: The toilet is not very clean because some guests don't have good manners to keep it clean. There's a bar downstairs but I suppose you get what you paid for. I expect that it would be a bit noisy on such a day.
Summary: Great location but not very clean toilet. You get what you pay for
