Lonely Planet
"It features lovingly tended period details such as supremely high ceilings, and has much more style than many of the luxury hotels in the city centre."
DK Eyewitness
"Slick, elegant luxury boutique hotel on the Devonport Village waterfront, a 10-minute ferry ride across the harbour from Auckland."

Rough Guide
"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" Full review

Top Choice
"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." Full review
