Great place to stay, nice people, super affordable! They have bathrooms/showers (bring your own toiletries and towel) and laundry machines for guests to use. Nice kitchen too. Short walk to Ponsonby shops, food, and grocery store.

Clean, quiet, wonderful. Great facilities. Close to local shops. Not to far out of town. The owner is super helpful. Lounge and kitchen are excellent. If you keep a top 5 hostels list, you will be adjusting it after staying here

Good hostel. It’s clean, well organized, facilities are good and beds are comfy.
Kitchen a bit small and quite noisy in the night because of the big windows. And pricy as well.
Also, not very nice that people put the blinds open at 8 am when they wake up…think of others who still want to sleep please.
Staff is friendly, but a map of where the things are would’ve been use-full for late arrivals (not only the key).

Great Hostel. For the price you will not get a 5-Star-Hotel but the place is great, friendly and helpful owner, amazing neighborhood (especially regarding restaurants and nightlife). A supermarket is close by, and you can walk to the waterfront in roughly 20 minutes.
All shared facilities were clean and well usable, a big garden is part of the place and can be used as well.
I would absolutely go again.

Such a great hostel.
Let's first talk about the obvious. It is so well located, the cod is in close reach with the bus, the hostel is quiet but still not "off grid", bars etc. are in short
reach by foot. The rooms also are very nice, spacious and most importantly clean. The bathrooms are also clean and in pleasant quantity. Additionally the showers have a good temperature and water pressure.
Having experienced that everyone around this hostel is super nice contributed to this hostel having a very nice atmosphere. This is amplified by the fact
that the hostel has a big communal kitchen where many people are hanging around which makes making friends very easy. Additionally the owner is also
nice and always willing to help if you have any questions.
The one thing I could point out as a negative is the missing lockers for personal valuables, but I didn't really feel like they were missing because the hostel
felt very safe.
Another thing I would have pointed out as negative is the fact that it was very cold in the hostel because of the missing heating and missing double-
glassed windows. Note that the rooms do have heaters but they are electric and portable and not the permanently installed like it is common in e.g
Germany. But finding out that this seems to be a common thing in New Zealand I can't really mention this as a negative, just something one should keep in
mind when they are arriving in New Zealand in the Winter.
