★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My room faced the station, very noisy from trains from 6:00 till midnight, avoid if you need to work or sleep during the day.
Building interior is like a escape room nightmare from the Shining with endless corridors that look the same.
If you want budget, get what you pay for.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Shower didn't work. Needed painting. Carpet needed cleaning or replacing. Parking long walk from car to room. Noise from trains right outside window.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I rented here for about a year. Private rental. However, the laundry facilities are good. The staff are mainly friendly. The night manager is absolutely lovely. I found it reasonably quiet even with the trains and my room being right next to the kitchen. I stayed in one room on the Spark Arena side and that was not my favourite as when there was something happening at Spark Arena it was loud and hard to sleep.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great building that used to be excellent economy accomodation. Now however (2022) it is home to a variety of loud, inconsiderate, aggressive tenants with no consideration for neighbours or anyone else.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Condition of apartments -
Not good, though some are better than others. Best to take a look at a few.
On site building managers-
At the reception there's a few building managers who manage some of the units. From my experience the young guy is unprofessional, unhelpful, hostile and dismissive. The older managers can be friendly and helpful.
Security -
There is swipe access security into the main area. People steal parcels delivered to reception and the managers don't care, so be careful about getting things delivered.
The ventilation in units is minimal -
A small fan in the bathroom which doesn't do much and a window that doesn't open far in each room. After a shower in the summer the unit feels like a sauna, not the mention any bad smells get trapped in too.
The communal kitchen -
Many stoves and ovens do not work, and some cabinets which house the fridges do not lock and are in a very worn condition. Some people do not clean up after themselves, so stoves and table can be quite dirty at times.
Laundary room -
About 10 washers and dryers. Roughly $3 for a wash and $3 for a dry. One of the highlights of the place.
Elevators -
There is a few elevators in the building. They can a bit dodgy, and for the time I was there many times they were out of service for extended periods.
There are some units that aren't bad for their price, but be prepared for a poorly maintained communal kitchen and minimal ventilation. Overall I would not recommend renting here unless price is an issue.
If your staying here for a few nights as a hotel experience it is probaly a bit better.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Historical train station vibe with a twist. the caged reception was pretty cool! Stayed with partner overnight, good location and easy access to the city.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Horrible student accommodation feel to the building. No air conditioning except a window out to the street at street level and a column fan. Mouldy shower tiles and water and hair still on the bathroom floor. A rip off at $205/night

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Full of history and memories of the Auckland central Railway station.
Great cafe and bar in the entrance.
