Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This hostel opened in mid-1999 in a large converted office block, so everything is clean, modern, and comfortable. It's one of the best hostels in the country, with over 50,000 guests a year. Security is tight. It's just a 5-minute walk to Central City. This is the flagship YHA hostel; its sister establishment, Auckland City YHA, is only 100m (330 ft.) away. This facility has a communal lounge, a smokers' room, bike and luggage storage, and large new kitchens.
