The communal areas at Attic are great - there’s a nice kitchen with sunny roof terrace and the bathrooms are good. I would have preferred to have towels provided in private rooms as most other hostels do (you can hire for $5). Our room was also very noisy at night from the sound of a generator outside. This isn’t the hostel’s fault at all but the fan they provided to keep the room cool was also really noisy, so a quieter option would be helpful.

Hi Virginia, thanks for your feedback. We have contacted the adjacent buildings owner regarding the noise from their 'vent' and will also take a look at the fan in the room you stayed at. Thanks for letting us know.

Comfortable; Simple
The stay was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The deck area attached to the kitchen was the most pleasant common area for people to lounge and meet others. There was adequate space for bags within the 4-bed mixed room with a standard bed. Overall, a pleasant short stay in a central location that should be considered when staying in Auckland.

Great place to stay for a few nights. Single beds are quite short however you get what you pay for. Nice & clean, quiet , everyone is super friendly including staff. Most mornings bit of a wait for shared shower/bathroom. I waited an hour then decided not to wait any longer as check out time was approaching. Those are only down sides. Everything else is great.

Hi Timothy, we received your review thanks. Could you please send me more information on 'no phone, no entry' ? We had sent you our pre arrival email which including our after hours duty phone number on 21 October. We also sent you a 'late arrival' email with Attic's door codes and instructions on where to find your key on the evening of your arrival day. Both these emails were sent to your Expedia generated email.Did you have issues receiving these emails or was there something else about your one night stay you didn't enjoy. Many thanksChris

Great hostel
The Attic is a great hostel in the middle of Auckland’s CBD. It has a great kitchen, chill room, balcony and tv room. The room I was in had plenty of space for bags etc and the bed was okay. The staff are great and very friendly. My only complaint is that there are no individual power points or light by each bed.

Great kitchen and plenty of common spaces. Great outdoor deck. The dorms could do with more sockets near the beds.

The place is in an amazing location, the staff are all really nice and there are plenty of facilities (TV, guitars, piano, laundry etc) but everything could do with a proper clean. Every surface is sticky, the coaches are dirty, the beds had hairs on them when we checked in which isnt great. If you can get over the cleanliness then this place is pretty good. They also have lots of events that you can go to and get drunk. It was half gap year party people and half long stay workers. Basically there are always people in bed with the lights off :p

Tolle Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, gemütliche Atmosphäre, gute Ausstattung der Küche und Bäder. Einziger kleiner Minuspunkt ist, dass das Hostel sehr hellgörig ist. Sonst aber ein sehr entspannter Aufenthalt und jederzeit gerne wieder.

Clean and friendly
Very good female bathroom, and well equiped kitchen. Friendly welcome! I do think it would come across a bit more friendly if guests were allowed to hang out at the rooftop or get access to the bathroom prior to check-in though, it's the standard you would expect.

Hi Aida, thanks for your nice review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Attic is located in the heart of Auckland city, so we allow new guests to drop off their bags from 9 AM and head out to explore the city before the 2 PM checkin. This window allows our staff to fully clean, house keep and launder the entire hostel before the 2 PM checkin. It's a big job and I hope that helps explain why facilities aren't available after 10 AM checkout or before the 2 PM checkin. Thanks for choosing to stay at Attic.

Bon backpacker.
Séjour en chambre double parfait pour le prix dans le pays. Tout ce qu’on attends d’une auberge destinés aux backpackers : cuisine, coins repos et divertissements, propreté des sanitaire, personnel très sympa. Rien à redire ça fait bien l’affaire.
