I appreciate Ted's attempt to bring cut price private room accommodation to central Auckland. Good effort. It reminds me of the sort of excellent bare basics economy rooms you can sometimes find overseas, while in New Zealand we are usually stuck with the extremes of too much room for too great a price, or crowding into a dorm.
Only drawback is no windows. I hate waking without natural light. But we know that. It's in the price.
Excellent for the money. Can't fault the room or facilities. Comfortable, clean, convenient, hotel like room. Place is newly renovated. Most of the fittings are new. Cooking facilities and something of a common area in the basement. Free use of clothes washers and dryers. A big thing, as washing is often a hassle when travelling.
Owner Ted was efficient and welcoming. Always willing. Very pleasant. Appears to be family run and all helpful on request.

Lower prices often bring a mixed clientele, and private rooms somewhat kill the social angle. But if you don't mind missing windows for a few days, and are looking for a private room in the center of Auckland at a great price, Ted's effort deserves support.
