LyLo Auckland Hotel

The hostel is in a great location, with easy access the city center and the bus terminal. It has all the basic facilities anyone would need and it was generally pretty clean. The main lobby has areas where you can work and the wifi is pretty good. There are lockers to put your belongings and if you arrive too early they have storage space.

The location is a short 10-15 minutes walk to the nearest supermarket and everything else (could be even as near as underv 10 minutes (e.g. takeaways, necessities, electronics etc.). The facilities of the hostel were great and regularly maintained, especially loved the privacy provided by the pods and the cleanliness of the shower rooms and toilets. The kitchen was well equipped and cleaned frequently as well. Travellers that i have met there are all respectful and friendly. There are many activities organised at the hostel to allow guests to network and make friends, with activities in the morning and night almost running daily.

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!

I had a great stay here! The hotel is exceptionally clean, well-managed, and thoughtfully designed. The facilities are complete and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the spacious kitchen, which made it easy to cook my own meals. The washing machine and dryer were powerful and efficient—the dryer worked particularly well. There are also plenty of group tours available, which is perfect for solo travelers looking to explore and meet others. Overall, you can tell this is a brand that’s run with care and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Very nice place to stay. Especially with all the communal areas. Lots of activities going on at Miss Lucy's (although not always very well organised or timely). The pods are very comfortable, with plenty of space to store your things and a secure locker. You can have your own space and privacy, which is not always the case in hostels. The kitchen is large and there is plenty of seating. The staff is nice, and the travel desk thing is very practical. Check-in and check-out are quite easy (you do have to pay 15$ if you want to check-in early tho). I stayed in other hostels since Lylo, and honestly, nothing compares to it. By far the best hostel I've ever been in.
