What was the highlight of Choice Backpackers

Passable, great location, falsely advertised parking cost me a lot

Great location near queen st, lots of good food places nearby, friendly staff

This showed on booking.com as parking included/available at property and it wasn’t - I had to unexpectedly pay A LOT at a parking structure nearby Not the cleanest or the most comfortable but as expected from a cheap hostel

good location, kitchen and dinning too cramped thankfully i was only one night staying.

lifts working close to everything easy check in and out

kitchen and dinning area were.too cramped. would not stay here for long periods due to kitchen and dining area. Cleaning could be stepped up, not always hostels fault but some people just leave mess behind.

It was as expected for a hostel stay, we just needed a bed for a night in the CBD & it did that

Good location

Bathrooms could be re looked at down the line if upgrading. not much privacy and on a floor level with atleast 4 people in each room and 10 rooms,2 bathrooms that have 1 toilet and 1 shower doesnt serve alot.

good location only

location was very good, close to everywhere and well suited with public transport to get in further places. staff and people overall are nice and super helpful. there were some beer evenings.

you cannot open the windows, seems previous office building without ability to open any window. AC was turning on in the evenings, operated for the whole floor without splitting for rooms, so it was cold in the nights. the place is not clean, and photos are very outdated. in the kitchen which is just one for so many people, were cockroaches on the floor looking for food. better wash dishes before using them, or just take your own. mould in the shower places, as no window and the steam is staying inside. some lights was not working during my whole stay, even though the cleaning staff were there everyday, but they seemed not caring.

Sleepless in the City

Quiet, for the most part, as supposed to some other hostels in terms of other backpackers not making noise and no sound coming from outside either and the rooms were cooler too

The air conditioner was too loud, so it made it hard to sleep even though it was nice that it was cooler, but it would be nice if it wasn't loud

Suited our purpose and wallet.

Location to Auckland art gallery was perfect for us. Bed exceeded expectations in comfort.

Could hear entire conversation of people in next room. Thankfully they must have read the rules on wall about being respectfully quiet after 10pm.

Overall clean rooms

Aircon in the low budget room would be nice, you can't open the windows and it can get hot during sunny days.

Staff were accommodating for all my requests. There were occasional events hosted by hostel for guests. Reasonable price for my stay and private room.

Not the brightest or most inviting atmosphere. Shower facilities were small.

The hostel is good if you are staying a few days. The rooms are tiny but ok. You have your own locker on your room. I highly recommend stay on the 4 beds room and bring your lock for the locker. The location is amazing and the staff good

decent

The best think is the location, the staff and the easy access at any time.

The room was fine but the pic were 2 beds next to each other and they gave us a bunk bed. The toilets were clean when we arrived but after that, not that clean. Same the showers and the whole bathroom area. It looks like they clean once a week.

I stayed at a private room. It was nice. It was small but comfortable. I could relax and there was a desk. I also liked the view from the window. Staff were nice.

I don't think the toilets, showers, and kitchen were very clean. The kitchen in particular was dirty and difficult to use at times when there were many people.

Overall okay but the place needs better front line staff. The manager was excellent and kind and a g

I like everything thing about the place but one of the staff who works at the front reception and is French have to learn how to provide good customer service and needs to change her tone of talking to customers. Her tone is very aggressive and it sounds like she carries a high level of temper when she is working at the front desk. New Zealand citizens are not use to this kind of customer service . Maybe she needs more training on customer service delivery and how to speak with customers politely. I didn’t like when one of the females in my room very quietly exchanged my beddings and upon telling the reception the reception made it look like I was at wrong just coz the lady was there for a long time. It really doesn’t matter how long someone stays where , when someone wants to make travellers life hard they will do it regardless of their length of stay. The air conditioning in the room was always so cold , colder than the alps. But I was very disappointed that after I spoke to the reception about the swapping of my beddings by another lady , she made me feel like I was at wrong for taking my beddings back. I numbered my beddings same as the bed number and locker number that I was assigned to upon arrival so that how I knew the beddings belong to my bed. These kind of actions might be okay in England and France but we as New Zealanders do not accept that kind of behaviour here in NZ.
