The hostel was one of the best hostel in New Zealands we have stayed in. Well situated in Auckland, you can reach the city within minutes by foot. Do not miss the Myers Park with a stunning installation about Maori history.

Loved every bit of it

it was our first time staying at a hostel and it was everything we expected and more. The staff was so helpful and welcoming.

The experience in your place was incredible and I really love that idea, in case you are staying at hostel and the price is not high you can get comfort, clean and modern space close to the centre and even have own space at the same time as you share room with 9 others persons. Truly recommend it, also plenty of space to work remotely and really friendly approach.

Great hostel to stay at when starting your New Zealand trip in Auckland. The rooms are genuinely nicer than some hotel rooms I’ve stayed at. Super clean, functional and well-thought out. Chill, good vibes all around

Loved it so much!

It was my first experience at a hostel and I loved it so much. pod was clean and spacious, and the overall facilities were clean too. Very safe for solo travelers, and you can make lots of friends too if you are a extrovert. Thank you again for everything including the sweet memories I made in lylo.

This is the best hostal I’ve ever been to. LyLo exceeded my expectations. Location wise it’s conveniently located very close to the bus stop drop off from the airport. In terms of the staff they are exceptional. Everyone is extremely attentive and helpful. They offer assistance with answering questions about the city, helping you schedule excursions and activities as well. As for the facilities, the laundry room is clutch. The restaurant attached to the hotel, Lucy’s, is awesome. Reasonably priced food and drinks and a great staff. They always seem to be arranging fun social events for people to engage in. The grounds have a number of great areas to do work and socialize as well. I was extremely happy with my room. I had a solo, private room and it was well sized and had great lighting. Overall, this was a fantastic experience I would definitely stay at the LyLo again and will recommend it to anyone I know. No complaints.

By far the nicest Hostel ive ever stayed in, the pods are a great idea you can still meet people but when you want your own privacy just slide the door shut. bathrooms and nice, kitchen is good but gets messy by the evening (what hostel doesnt) met loads of really friendly people, if your going to Auckland this has got to be the hostel to get.

Pods were excellent!

I was not sure about the pods when I booked but they were excellent! They gave privacy & more than adequate facilities to charge my phone, watch, Kindle & power bank. Loved having the travel office in the lobby & a great bar & restaurant with interesting activities & discounted cocktails for guests. Lots of spaces to cook, eat & “hang out” Excellent bathroom facilities.

Great hotel! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves delicious food and has vegetarian options as well and very affordable prices. The community kitchen is massive, having a travel agency for local attractions is simply amazing. 100% recommendable!

Fantastic Hostel Experience! - We will be back!

We had an amazing stay here during our honeymoon! The location was perfect, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. A special shoutout to Jordan, the travel expert, who went above and beyond to help plan our tours and even surprised us with free tickets to a sold-out bar crawl. The hostel had everything we needed — a full kitchen, a great restaurant with an excellent breakfast and bar, and clean, comfortable rooms. The atmosphere was social yet relaxed, with plenty of spaces to unwind. Truly one of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed at!

Highly recommend LyLo for families

This was an excellent place to stay. We had a private pod, which gave us all our space to chill out in when needed – perfect for me, my two teens and 7 year old. Facilities were excellent and so clean. Location was great, could walk most places or else buses and trains were so easy to use. Miss Lucy’s was convenient as well. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Lylo especially for families, don’t be put off with it being a hostel. I’d definitely stay here again. Price was so reasonable too!

The cleanest hostel worldwide I’ve ever stayed in

Really enjoyed my 2-week stay at LyLo

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.

We had a fantastic stay at LyLo!

We booked a private queen room, and it was absolutely silent, clean, and super comfortable. The mattress was amazing we both slept incredibly well. The kitchen is well-equipped if you want to cook your own meals, and there’s a cool on-site bar that’s reasonably priced. Even though the room didn’t have a window, it wasn’t an issue at all they’ve cleverly installed a TV with a live roof webcam that gives a sense of daylight. Overall, it’s a great budget option that honestly feels more like a hotel than a hostel. Highly recommended! Only downside: it’s about a 15 to 20-minute walk to the city center, but that also means it’s much quieter than most places downtown

Hands down the best hostel I've ever been to!

Different entertainments every night in the hostel bar, where they also serve good food and drinks. Hairdresser and massages, sports activities in the mornings. An absolutely spotless, fully equipped kitchen, impeccably clean rooms and bathrooms. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Only about 400 mtrs from the central bus station and city centre.
It simply ticks all the boxes!

All the good things of a hotel, in a hostel. The bar has good food and drinks. And even meeting people in the slow season was easy! Thanks to the whole team!!! Can’t wait to come back on a WHV.

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!

Everything :)

LyLo is a type of hostel that you will have a hard time leaving. It is designed very thoughtful with backpackers needs in mind but can accommodate families as well. You’ve got a large kitchen with multiple cooking stoves, big fridges and cubbies to store your food. You have plenty of communal space for bigger groups or just to hang out by yourself and work in silence. There is also a very vibrant bar that is part of LyLo which serves as perfect opportunity to meet fellow backpackers. 11/10 for the whole experience, I loved everything about LyLo, will definitely recommend it to friends and family and would recommend to basically anyone looking for a decent hostel in Auckland. Nothing, I LOVED everything about LyLo

LyLo Auckland is a pretty neat place

LyLo Auckland is a pretty neat place. If you have never stayed in a hostel before this is a great way to start super friendly staff with a great atmosphere and amenities. The restaurant on the first floor is great with good cocktails and food and they always have some kind of activity going on! The size of the pods is also great, if you have ever stayed in a Japanese capsule then this is going to feel huge. I would absolutely come back here and I think that it is a super cool experience!

Awesome stay! Amazing shower, clean and quiet pods, and conveniently attached to a restaurant downstairs. Very safe for female solo travellers, highly recommend! Just a bit of a walk from the heart of downtown

Loved the privacy of a pod and having the choice to socialise.

I was greeted by a lovely man who showed me around. Having a bar/restaurant just downstairs was perfect for early morning rises. The bathroom/shower area was huge, the best for such a large facility but I never saw more than three girls in the room with me, leaving plenty of free cubicles. Nothing bad.

I loved this hostel.

It was clean, modern, and there was a good balance of social life and privacy. Checking in and out was very easy, and I felt very comfortable (literally like I was home). Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Auckland as you get a lot for your money 🙂

What wasn't there to like?!

The individual pods were so cool with everything you needed; plugs, pockets to put your items in, a light, a mirror and best of all you could slide the door for complete privacy. Huge lockers allocated to your pod number big enough to fit suitcases inside. The 1st floor bathroom was very aesthetically pleasing and Instagram worthy!! I would come back in a heartbeat!

One of the best hostels I've stayed at.

Staff call you by your name

I loved staying at Lylo. I had reason to stay for 2 weeks, choose a pod and was very happy. Everything was clean, staff were attentive, lots of common spaces with cool decor and generally felt like home. The pods have pretty good level of quiet, and the majority of guests tend to be considerate. I would choose to stay here again without hesitation. It says a lot when the staff call you by your name, and the bar/cafe adjoining was perfect with every coffee being top notch.
