    4 Stars ACB - You'll either love it or hate it! 24/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots Going On, Lots of Information Available

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rooms too small / untidy, Too Big, Impersonal Atmosphere

    Auckland Central Backpackers (or ACB as it's better known) is one of the largest backpackers' hostels in New Zealand. Located right in the heart of Queen Street (the main business / shopping street in the city centre), it is a convenient landing point for people who have just arrived in New Zealand, whether as part of a working holiday or just to travel. They offer a whole range of "starter packages" that include extras such as free internet, airport transfers, job search etc. To be honest, you don't save money by buying such packages but they are an easy option if you can't be bothered to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good central location

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not exactly 5* but if your young and budgeting a must

    I stayed here a couple of years ago for a few days with a mate and found it to be one of them places that's okay and convenient with the location as your in the heart of auckland the bus to and from the airport is right outside and it does not cost a bomb to stay there. I cant remember the exact amount it was for our stay but it was a typical price for a hostel like place and the rooms remind you of something not far from our travelodge standard to be frank with the usual tv couple of beds and a shower/toilet. When I stayed there we had the choice of a dorm like rooms sharing or what i took a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great Bar, Big Kitchen, 2 TV Rooms, free vouchers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some rooms are too small, hostel is too big

    The ACB is one of the best known hostels in Auckland. Its a great place for backpackers, but definately not one for families. The hostel is right in the middle of the city, so everything is easy to get to without the need for public transport. Because of this it is slightly more expensive than some of the other hostels available, but it does have good facilities. There are loads of computers for internet use (again, quite expensive, but ok if you buy in hour blocks), a massive, well-equipped kitchen with loads of tables and a pool table, a book exchange, a TV room, a movie room, 2 bars and ... more
