LYLO AUCKLAND, Auckland

Rooms & Pods

Lylo Auckland offers private pod rooms with locking key card lockers inside each unit, providing secure storage for backpacks and luggage. The private double and queen ensuite rooms include their own bathroom, TV, air conditioning, and a bar of soap for the sink. Some rooms are interior rooms without windows, which keeps them dark for sleeping, but guests should note that pods can get warm and have a small fan for ventilation.

On-Site Dining & Bars

Miss Lucy's bar and restaurant is connected to the hostel and offers a 10% discount on food and drinks for Lylo guests. The menu includes breakfast items, coffee, pizza, and drinks in the evening, though guests have noted that some food items like pizza can be of inconsistent quality. A coffee house on site and vending machines are also available for quick snacks and beverages.

Social & Entertainment Activities

The hotel offers a daily schedule of entertainment staff-led activities including karaoke, movie nights, pub crawls, walking tours, live sport events, bingo, and evening entertainment. Yoga classes and wellness activities are also available for guests who want to stretch or relax. These group events are designed to help solo travelers and groups meet one another in a structured setting.
