Newton Lodge Auckland - Hostel

Auckland

I stayed in the eight bed female dorm and had a generally positive experience. The room was very sheltered from outside noise and roommates were considerate. Bunks are a bit creaky and there isn't a huge amount of space for everyone's bags, but the shared bathrooms are clean, showers good and kitchen usable. WiFi was also good enough for video calls and films.

The surrounding area is a bit intimidating after dark and the hostel is tucked away up a random concrete staircase. I didn't have any issues though.

Basically, it's a simple no frills hostel which does what it says on the tin and is in a good central location.

No frills, but cheap and convenient

its a nice hostel ti stay clen tidy and nice staff.parking is only thing a issue here

Booked a private room, cost NZD $51 per night. It was clean, quiet and reasonably spacious. Location was good with bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and laundry all nearby. Wifi was reliable. Recommended; Would definitely stay again.

clean, quiet, good location

Excellent location-close to Queen St. It was quiet in the hostel, without any incidences. Hostel rules were posted and were clear to understand. Natural light appeared through skylights in the room in the morning. The inside staircase leading to the hostel looks dirty and there were garbage bins, which gave the impression that the hostel would not be clean inside.  However, I did not see any vermin or other insects. It would have been nice to have a small ledge for a cellphone on the wall beside the bed. Other than that, this hostel is well organized and a great value.

Beds were shakey and uncomfortable. Light holes in roof means the rooms are lite all night by the moon which is annoying to sleep. Tiny rooms so not much space to move, tiny lockers so stuff is everywhere 🛏️

Lounge is ok though, there's a TV with sky. Kitchen was clean. Bathrooms and showers are clean 🚿

Alcohol free hostel, so be prepared 🍺

Budget For A Reason

We were a group of 3 that arrived in Auckland. We stayed for 4 nights in Newton Lodge. It was quiet and very clean. There were many people that stayed here for a long time so it felt like they were some sort of a family. There was some confusion in when we had to leave. But in the end we thought we had to check out one day earlier then what we had payed for. We already had booked plans so we thought our money was lost. But the guy at the reception made it possible that we could get our night on another day and he made it possible. Excellent service! 

Quiet, clean and very helpful 

The outside of the hostel can make you a bit scared but after pass the upstairs door you will find a sympathic cheap place to stay. Free coffee and tea,  camera everywhere but safe place,  near from the center and good bars. Drinking on outside front stairs is forbidden,  ahahaha :) 

Friendly place

I suppose backpackers are a bit noisey with people coming and going at different times, but this was even more so 
It's close to K road, and the CBD
Not the cleanest place
As previous users have stated, lots of rules but necessary to conform with regs, but they do shove it down your throat a bit

Would I stay again, probably not 

Interesting place and noisey

It's an acceptable location, has everything you need to be comfortable. The wifi signal is generally very good. It's near the center and the bus stop that connects to the airport. The rooms are very hot in the summer, plus they have lockers with a lock. Unfortunately, the staff doesn't speak Spanish. It should be cleaned up a bit more.
