Close to the airport and to the bus to city center. If you want a cheap night in NZ you need to book a dorm. The best dorm and hostel I’ve been is this one. The lounge is amazing. Big enough to everyone and with a nice deck. Also the kitchen has enough space and utensils.

The place is unique. Obviously, it was not created as a hostel, but has been well adapted to its needs. It feels special. Super clean!

If there's a Top of the Pops chart somewhere for backpackers, then 85 on Bealey must surely occupy the Number One spot, regularly!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really impressed with this hostel! I was upgraded from an 8-bed dorm to a 2-bed dorm, which was small but great to have fewer people. Comfy beds with curtains, individual lights, and chargers by the bed, plus lockers for luggage. They have two kitchens which are well equipped and have everything you need, plus a cozy lounge. Great location for exploring the city, would definitely stay here again! :)
