LyLo Auckland

Hands down the best hostel I've ever been to! Different entertainments every night in the hostel bar, where they also serve good food and drinks. Hairdresser and massages, sports activities in the mornings. An absolutely spotless,fully equipped kitchen, impeccably clean rooms and bathrooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only about 400 mtrs from the central bus station and city centre. It simply ticks all the boxes!

Just got back from a quick two-day trip to Auckland and stayed at LyLo. Such a smooth and easy experience. The space was clean, modern, and had everything I needed for a short stay. What really stood out was the staff — due to a last-minute delay with my incoming flight, they helped set me up with an extended stay without any hassle. Super accommodating and friendly. Definitely recommend if you’re after a convenient, budget-friendly option right in the heart of the city.

I stayed at the Lylo for two nights on a quick trip to Auckland, in a private ensuite room. The room had no windows, but the lighting was adjustable and easy on the eyes, so I wasn’t too bothered. The room was impeccably clean, as were the common hallways/lounges etc. Great storage, TV and lots of outlets. Not the comfiest bed but it did the job! ||For a hostel and for the price I paid, I was extremely impressed. ||The restaurant downstairs was very slow with service and messed up my order, so even though it’s convenient, I’d go elsewhere. While there isn’t a supermarket super close, there are convenience stores nearby. ||I used to live in Auckland so I’m familiar with the area, but I think it might feel a bit separate from the central area for some people, but great to use as a base or for a quick visit. Would stay again. Easy walk to the Skybus station at Sky City too.

One of the best hostel in the world (seriously it is ranked as one) the pods design are great, all facilities are kept clean and looking nice and new. I stayed here almost every time I visit Auckland for my solo-trips: cost-wise, everything is in great conditions, simple nice design, and easy to book. I stayed once in a double room with my mum when we were travelling for leisure purposes, almost everything CBD is within walks for 10-15mins. I gave a close look at the trips on offer at the hostel counter there’s heaps of options too. We didn’t try during our trip but they all look pretty good. This place also host multiple fun events for people who stay there, I keep noticing those info on they notice board, all looking fun and I wish I could join and have a nosy. Great stay especially for young travellers or solo travellers.

Modern and a fun vibe, super clean and I appreciated the pods for a little privacy. Bag storage is secure. Onsite restaurant has good coffee. My only suggestions are more cooling / air flow in the pods and more hooks in the showers and lockers.

As a hostel, it's a great place. It is clean, the beds are comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The only problem is that rooms' doors when close make big noise that wake one up. There is no quiet time that obligates the guests to be in bed and quiet. It is up to individuals to close the door quietly and be mindful that others are resting in odd hours.

We arrived late at night but check in was simple. Decent location with a short walk to the China town area of Auckland with plenty of restaurants to choose from. Rooms were clean, quiet and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay here again and happily go to any other lylo locations too!Staff were all friendly and helpful as well!
