8/10 Very good

The team is certainly friendly, and all facilities are very clean. I booked a twin room. Unfortunately there were strong cooking smells in the room. Also: I know its a backpacker place, but the mattress & the pillow were very hard for my liking. On the other hand: the shower was excellent!

8/10 Very good

The communal areas at Attic are great - there’s a nice kitchen with sunny roof terrace and the bathrooms are good. I would have preferred to have towels provided in private rooms as most other hostels do (you can hire for $5). Our room was also very noisy at night from the sound of a generator outside. This isn’t the hostel’s fault at all but the fan they provided to keep the room cool was also really noisy, so a quieter option would be helpful.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

Hostels should provide 3 things : a bed, a bathroom, luggage storage. This hostel rents towels and simply doesn't provide any soap. I get they want to keep prices low but it isn't low if you have to purchase/rent every basic amenities. Not asking for toothbrushes or combs, just bodywash in the showers. You can buy a towel at the warehouse downstairs for a cheaper price they rent it. As for the bedroom, no ventilation whatsoever, it was more than 30° at night and they only provide a tiny fan for 10 beds. Not to mention no personal light nor power outlet next to each bed. Between the heat and the 2 guests making in their bunkbed, it wasn't possible to sleep. Only good thing about this place is the location

Comfortable; Simple

The stay was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The deck area attached to the kitchen was the most pleasant common area for people to lounge and meet others. There was adequate space for bags within the 4-bed mixed room with a standard bed. Overall, a pleasant short stay in a central location that should be considered when staying in Auckland.

Clean and friendly

Very good female bathroom, and well equiped kitchen. Friendly welcome! I do think it would come across a bit more friendly if guests were allowed to hang out at the rooftop or get access to the bathroom prior to check-in though, it's the standard you would expect.

10/10 Exceptional

The backpackers is in a pretty hidden place and is kinda awkward to find. They do give detailed directions and there are signs to help show you the way. I felt a little be confused and kinda uncomfortable when the signs led me to an elevator at the back of the building and I had to ask someone nearby what floor number the backpackers was. The way the property is laid out can be confusing at first but the staff are very helpful and you will eventually become accustomed to it. The rooms are very nice and cozy and offer heaters to keep warm, and there's even pictures on the wall and a coat wrack. And the kitchen / Dining room area is a pretty nice, big, tidy and sociable space where you can cook your own meals and choose to sit outside or inside. The whole building had pictures, posters and great information for the tourists and had an overall colourful and fun atmosphere to it.

The new paint? and new carpet smells were very strong and I had a headache from the offgassing. Great kitchen- well stocked and great systems. The bunks are bunks- my top mate moved so much and shook my bed, I didn't sleep well for a couple of the nights I was there. Loved the recommendations they have all over. Excellent hostel.

Not the best hostel

Great location but not my favorite hostel. Beds are uncomfortable and there are no lockers for your luggage. Additionally there are few/ inconvenient outlets to charge your phone. Would also appreciate a shelf near the bed to place personal items.

Great place to stay for a few nights. Single beds are quite short however you get what you pay for. Nice & clean, quiet , everyone is super friendly including staff. Most mornings bit of a wait for shared shower/bathroom. I waited an hour then decided not to wait any longer as check out time was approaching. Those are only down sides. Everything else is great.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hostel was ok. The condition of facilities is slightly old and used. Kitchen is closed from 10AM till 12PM (not 10PM and 12AM) which is a bit weird. A late breakfast is only possible at 12pm again. Also, the toilets (only one shared bathroom each) get shut for cleaning at times, which is also a bit inconvenient
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The place is in an amazing location, the staff are all really nice and there are plenty of facilities (TV, guitars, piano, laundry etc) but everything could do with a proper clean. Every surface is sticky, the coaches are dirty, the beds had hairs on them when we checked in which isnt great. If you can get over the cleanliness then this place is pretty good. They also have lots of events that you can go to and get drunk. It was half gap year party people and half long stay workers. Basically there are always people in bed with the lights off :p

Bon backpacker.

Séjour en chambre double parfait pour le prix dans le pays. Tout ce qu’on attends d’une auberge destinés aux backpackers : cuisine, coins repos et divertissements, propreté des sanitaire, personnel très sympa. Rien à redire ça fait bien l’affaire.
