    Great stay in the pod room, not many options in Auckland CBD area. Parking is a plus. Can tell being renovated not long ago. In general, great value for the money. Cheers

    “Nice place to stay”

    I would recommed this place for people who is coming and want to spend a nice time without preparation. There's no bedbags on rooms, it is really clean. I did stay there for my 3 first day after arriving on Auckland. Then I moved to a cheaper hostel, I miss the fresh air and air conditioning. As I said, I highly recommend this place if you coming for vacation and wanna stay in a clean and quiet place and do not worry anything, or for your first days when coming with working holiday visa.
