The new paint? and new carpet smells were very strong and I had a headache from the offgassing. Great kitchen- well stocked and great systems. The bunks are bunks- my top mate moved so much and shook my bed, I didn't sleep well for a couple of the nights I was there. Loved the recommendations they have all over. Excellent hostel.
The hostel was ok. The condition of facilities is slightly old and used. Kitchen is closed from 10AM till 12PM (not 10PM and 12AM) which is a bit weird. A late breakfast is only possible at 12pm again. Also, the toilets (only one shared bathroom each) get shut for cleaning at times, which is also a bit inconvenient
This place accomplishes everything you are looking for when you are traveling on a budget.

Not the best hostel
Great location but not my favorite hostel. Beds are uncomfortable and there are no lockers for your luggage. Additionally there are few/ inconvenient outlets to charge your phone. Would also appreciate a shelf near the bed to place personal items.
The team is certainly friendly, and all facilities are very clean.
I booked a twin room. Unfortunately there were strong cooking smells in the room.
Also: I know its a backpacker place, but the mattress & the pillow were very hard for my liking.
On the other hand: the shower was excellent!
The communal areas at Attic are great - there’s a nice kitchen with sunny roof terrace and the bathrooms are good. I would have preferred to have towels provided in private rooms as most other hostels do (you can hire for $5). Our room was also very noisy at night from the sound of a generator outside. This isn’t the hostel’s fault at all but the fan they provided to keep the room cool was also really noisy, so a quieter option would be helpful.
The stay was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The deck area attached to the kitchen was the most pleasant common area for people to lounge and meet others. There was adequate space for bags within the 4-bed mixed room with a standard bed.
Overall, a pleasant short stay in a central location that should be considered when staying in Auckland.
Great place to stay for a few nights. Single beds are quite short however you get what you pay for. Nice & clean, quiet , everyone is super friendly including staff. Most mornings bit of a wait for shared shower/bathroom. I waited an hour then decided not to wait any longer as check out time was approaching. Those are only down sides. Everything else is great.
The Attic is a great hostel in the middle of Auckland’s CBD. It has a great kitchen, chill room, balcony and tv room. The room I was in had plenty of space for bags etc and the bed was okay.
The staff are great and very friendly.
My only complaint is that there are no individual power points or light by each bed.
