The Base auckland was our first stay in NZ .. we had the double ensuite room and was a pleasant surprise. For the price, the place was clean friendly and bang in the centre of the city. Everything is close by from here. Only issue is the parking!! man that was a pain!!

Place is alright, Super safe, clean, great location. Should have maybe picked a smaller hostel that felt less like a hotel trying to make money. Staff ok, nothing wrong with it, just nothing great. Internet costs $4 and have to pay for a towel, a little lame in my opinion.

Fantastic location, has what you will need, often with surcharges. Stayed in a twin with shared bathroom. Little noisy, rooms and bathrooms both need a lick of paint and a handyman. Good for a crash, towels provided, as is soap.

Booked through naked sleep company, and was cheap compared to other backpackers we researched. staff were friendly but didnt tell us much. the room (double ensuite) was a good size, but was 2 singles pushed together. air con was VERY LOUD and couldnt control which meant it was hard to get to sleep. changed rooms due to bed arrangement after...

I was there last year on my nz journey and i must say base backpackers hotel is a good choice if you want to stay in central auckland..The hotel is close to everything and a good place to start exploring auckland.

Stayed for a week in March with two friends. We had a room to ourselves, so had no problem with our belonging being secure. The swipe card system seems very secure as well, and the lockers under the beds are big enough for your entire suitcases. Room was small, but only 4 beds, and the air con was very good.... More

The location is the main good thing about this hostel, it is right in the centre of town. We stayed in a private room which was small but fairly clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathrooms are a bit dirty and small but not too bad. Nothing really to complain about its a very average hostel in a good... More

Not a great hostel, pretty standard really. My flight was late and when I arrived reception was extremely busy but staff were helpful enough despite the rush. The best thing about this property is the location, it is located right in Auckland's city centre and right near an Airbus stop so it's an easy location to access from the airport.... More

You cannot beat the location of this hostel if you're interested in being right downtown. The staff are not overly helpful and the rooms are nothing great. Things are relatively clean, except for the kitchen, which is usually fairly appalling and lacking basic kitchen items (ie. peeler to peel carrots). I think they charge too much money for what you...
