Microtel Lodge Hamilton - Hostel

Hamilton

When i turned down the bed the top sheet had several long black hairs literally sitting on top of the sheet. Someone had been sleeping in my bed. It must have been goldilock's friend. They weren't weaved through the fabric as asserted. I have short brown hair. When questioned the woman said " oh that will be the washing machine. They obviously haven't just come off" I took photos of them. Then all the forks in the shared kitchen had hard food stuck to them. DIsgusting. Then to finish off the stay, the shower in the morning had luke warm water. Not the start you want when you have an interview assessment day ahead of you

Interview Preparation

I spent a week in this hotel and it was very, very clean. The hotel is a walking distance from the Waikato Stadium. The rooms are not big, but you don't really need anything more. The manager was very friendly and helpful. I'll go back there any time!

IMMACULATE CLEAN LITTLE HOTEL

I stayed at Microtel for one night en route to Rotorua and while the location was pretty good (walkable to CBD) the room was absolutely tiny - virtually just a bed. There was a shared shower and toilet between two rooms which was ok and I'd give the kitchen a big tick for cleanliness. It was ok for one night but I couldn't have stayed longer - the room was just too small. Nice people though.

Teeny tiny room but good location

On the positive side the WiFi was good and so was the shower. The staff were welcoming and friendly. However, the kitchen and cooking facilities were horrible. The only 2 saucepans had revolving handles - a serious scald waiting to happen. The stove was greasy, the drying cloth was filthy and the kitchen itself was falling apart. The room was dark and too small to put bags down so we kept them in the car. We have stayed in accommodation that was similarly priced but so much better

Cheap but not cheerful

If you are booking somewhere called 'micro' a small room is expected.
However, it was a great surprise that the 'shared bathroom' was only with one other room, and there was a tv and great storage in the room.
Free towels, free wifi and free parking is always a bonus as a backpacker, so to get all 3 is a winner in my eyes.
Kitchen and bathrooms were clean and tidy.
Only a ten minute walk into the CBD and sky city.

Would recommend and stay again.

Great budget place

I spent two nights in this hostel right after arriving in Auckland, but the YHA didn't have it for a few days. I had a single room. The room was exactly the same length as the mattress, which is a bit narrow at my two meters. There's a big supermarket right across the street and plenty of parking, although very small. The staff is very nice and I felt the hostel was very clean with nice little kitchen and very good WiFi.

Nice little hostel.

I stayed in this backpacker 1 night in a women's dormitory from 5. The staff is available to satisfy any request (hair dryer, extra blanket, keep the suitcases after check out...). The room was small the women's dormitory from 5 had 4 comfortable beds and 1 that to use where you climbed you don't know exactly where and how. Inside the dormitory we had a ns. use 2 toilets and a shower all without any window, in compensation each bed has a window. The cleaning of blankets and sheets is not excellent for the rest, on the window window I also saw mold. The wifi is sold as limited but in the bus where I slept too much the signal was light enough to easily disconnect with the disconnection, so in my opinion the room is not used for a long day.

Nothing special.

This hotel is part of the YHA chain but it has not the same status at all! It is very badly located away from the city center, the room is tiny and the kitchen too. It is just a roadside motel but extremely expensive!
