LYLO is one of the best I have ever stayed in in all of my 50+ countries. Very new and clean, as well as well thought of— from digital self check-in and check-out, down to the modern pod with sliding cover— it was all worth the price! Large kitchen with complete cooking tools and utensils and large shelvings to store personal food stuff (though i didn’t use kitchen). Room was of 8-bed and still felt roomy. I usually prefer rooms with windows but Lylo’s felt cozy and I had great sleep. They have an in house bar/restaurant and a tatoo and barber corner!

The hostel is located in the very city center, very close to the Sky Tower, and very convenient to go anywhere around. The hotel is clean and tidy inside, and the guests staying in the hotel are very polite. Everyone seems to be a big family and very happy. It left me with good memories. I will definitely stay here again next time.

First of all, all the staff were very friendly, kind and supportive! Anddd very clean and tidy, organized, peaceful. Giving that Japanese capsule hotel vibes, but like backpackers with having private space and interaction with ppl at the same. It was comfortable for me to stay:) Just 15min walk from the central area, I think it’s a very nice location, not too city yet walkable.

Great location right in the CBD. It's like a giant hotel turned hostel with tons of floors you have to access with the lift. Space in the room was allright, things were kept clean, lots of shared bathrooms on each floor. Kitchen has lots of utensils.

All hostels in Auckland

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

By far the best Hostel in Auckland. The kitchen as well as the bathrooms are always clean, the staff is friendly and the other Backpackers are respectful. It is a little bit more expensive than the other Hostels, but it is definitley worth the money.

Very clean, very modern, felt very safe, loved the privacy curtains on the bunk beds, made friends even as a shy introvert, room felt spacious and quiet even with ten people! I stayed for a few weeks and couldn't believe how much it felt like home! Best hostel I've stayed in. Wish they were all this good!
