Haka Lodge Auckland

"Great hostel, but reception closes at around 4/5pm. One night a room was overbooked and the ‘emergency’ number didn’t pick up for an hour… not reassuring. Otherwise staff are nice, the people who stay there are quiet, but note the area is not a nice part of Auckland, many homeless or drunk people hanging around entrance. This is not their fault but forward facing room ( female dorm ) faces a karaoke bar that goes to 2 am sometimes and loud arguments between the homeless downstairs cause be overheard and wake you up in the night. Good beds, no squeaking, duvet covers could be cleaned a little more. But would stay here again."

"Very friendly staff and accommodating for my odd arrival and departure times. Cleaning often, but could do with cleaning duvet covers and appearance of mold in showers' overhead cover. I felt safe, bed was comfortable, common room area inviting. Did not feel like a party hostel at all. Felt like guests were mature adults, not youngins that need to grow up. Liked that the kitchen was not completely closed overnight. You can use the microwave in the overnight hours. Area is close enough to go to city hot spots or easily catch transit. Can be loud outside. I would stay here again. I'm actually sad I booked last minute and my preferred room wasn't available for my entire time in the city."

"Amazing stay at the Haka Lodge. The place is as pretty and nice as in the pictures, and even though you may sleep with a lot of people in a room, you still get a lot of privacy having the curtains and plugs and all in each bed! The staff were all amazing, and helped me a lot every time I unexpectedly needed to extend my stay a little longer. It might not be the cheapest hostel in the area (which btw, great location, just a few minutes walking of everything), but it's definitely worth it. If I ever need to stay somewhere in Auckland again, I'll for sure stay in Haka!"

"Really nice and friendly hostel with good facilities. However, had a big issue with sleeping here as the noise coming from outside was just overwhelming. Also didn’t like the fact that the duvet covers are not washed after every guests use."

"I spent 5 nights in this hostel. I arrived late the first day and was made very welcome. Showers and rooms are clean. In the hostel there are no noises at night. What makes noise is the karaoke bar next door but luckily it doesn't last all night. This did not prevent me from getting up around 7:30. You will find what you need nearby. I recommend"
