  * Base Auckland

  However, do yourself a favour and stay one night at Hotel So – so friggin amazing and fairly inexpensive too !!!

  thanks ptooma,
  I booked into ACB base. I was looking at that one before I made the post. Just wanted to confirm with others what they thought. Havent booked c/church yet. Still have plenty of time. Yes, I hear Hotel So is good. Might stay there just on my last night before I head home. Thats if money permits. <!--graemlin::)-->

  There is only one Base in Auckland according to the site. Though i swear my Lonely Planet guide says there are 2.
  
  Im going to book in to Base for Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. Wish they had a pass thing like if you are going over the country you can buy a certain number of nights together discounted rate. I have to pay for 12 nights…..along with my tours.

  The X-Base on 16 Fort Street is now operated by Nomad Hostels
  
  I’ve stayed at both locations and both are similar.

  Hi Liz,
  Yeah i thought there were two as well. I booked for ACB. But I know there is also just a Base Backpackers as well as Auckland Central Base Backpackers. (both in Auckland that is). Yes it would be good for a discount thing, I managed to do that with some Europe hostels. But I suppose in the end with Base you know what you are getting!
