Attic Backpackers Ranked Top 5 Hostel in Oceania

Big news – Attic Backpackers has been named the 5th Best Hostel in Oceania at the HOSCARs 2025, Hostelworld’s global awards for the very best hostels around the world.

This recognition means the world to us, because it’s based entirely on real reviews from travellers. Every rating, comment, and bit of feedback helped get us here – and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing guests and team.

What Are the HOSCARs?

The HOSCARs (Hostelworld Customer Annual Ratings) are like the Oscars of hostels. They celebrate hostels that travellers actually love staying in. Being ranked in the Top 5 in Oceania is proof that Attic is more than just a bed – it’s a trusted place for backpackers to connect, rest, and explore.

Why Travellers Choose Attic

We’re not the biggest hostel, or the flashiest. What we focus on is what matters most to backpackers:

• Central Auckland location – steps from the city’s best spots, transport, and nightlife.
• Clean, safe, comfortable spaces – always well-maintained and welcoming.
• Friendly & social vibe – easy to meet people, but still a good night’s sleep.
• Award-winning service – recognised by travellers for the way we care.
