Gayot
"Jutting out like a giant cruise ship, this hotel allows you to sleep, dine and drink not just overlooking the water, but literally over Waitemata Harbour."

"Large and central YHA with seven floors of mostly twin and double rooms – the upper ones with fine city views – plus well-equipped common areas."
Frommer's
"One of the best hostels in the country and hosts over 50,000 guests a year. Its rooms, while spartan are meticulously clean, as is the communal kitchen, which is large enough to handle multiple guests"

"Struggle up one of the city’s steepest streets to this big, impersonal tower block near the K Rd party strip. The rooms are clean and well kept, and some have views and terraces."
