BK Hostel  

Tucked in Newton, about 1 km from Auckland's city centre, BK Hostel puts you a short walk from Queen Street, Sky Tower, Aotea Square, the Civic Theatre, the Waterfront, Artspace and the University of Auckland. Nearby parks like Myers Park and Western Park give the place a leafy, inner-city edge.

A rebuilt 2003 building with 48–49 rooms, BK Hostel serves backpackers and budget travellers with dorm beds and private single or queen rooms. Most rooms have large windows, closets and linens provided; non-dorm rooms include a desk and chair. Weekly rates, 24-hour card access and secure entry make longer stays easy.

Two spacious communal kitchens (with filtered water taps and unlimited hot water), a BBQ area, a roomy lounge with TV/DVD and a pool table keep things social. Wi‑Fi is available on the property, and there’s an elevator, filtered water taps, and parking for guests who drive.

Luggage storage (short & long term), coin-operated laundry and a helpful concierge make logistics simple. A common-area TV and communal spaces work well for low-key catch-ups or planning your next day in the city.

Cook in the clean communal kitchens or fire up the BBQ for a casual meal. Countless cafes, bars and restaurants are just outside the door for quick local bites or late-night eats.
