It only a glorified back packers Not what they sell online page Would only pay $70 This is a scam of a place and before I went in I asked for refund on both nights and was refused It’s very sad and disappointing Make sure you don’t get the front room next to main door to rest of complex you won’t sleep or eat can’t use patio unless you like been looked at by everyone walking past or entering the place Very run down Musty old appliance and low low grade coffee and soaps Don’t use this place unless they have paid quater the price It’s like a bad back packers looks like they have gone to salvation Army bins For linen beds appliances there is nothing in the room. It wouldn’t be close to 30 years old.

Excellent hosts, great location, and charming accommodations! For anyone visiting Auckland and wanting a more authentic experience than the CBD, the Ponsonby neighborhood is a great place to stay, and The Great Ponsonby Hotel is an amazing way to experience the area! The complimentary breakfast is well stocked and exceptionally tasty!

04/09/2025 to 08/09/2025 - Another awesome stay experience. Clean comfortable room and friendly, polite staff. This is definitely our go to holiday stay in Auckland. See you again! ==================================================== Awesome establishment! our stay was nothing but good. The breakfast sessions was a gathering of people from all over the world. Excellent conversations indeed. Overall clean, comfortable premise, decorated with pasifika and local arts and friendly polite staff. Cafes, shops and more eateries only a few mins walk. Auckland CBD is a good downhill walk. Totally recommend.

This is the perfect place to stay if you enjoy a homey vibe and want an authentic New Zealand experience. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay at any other place in Auckland. Breakfast was plentiful. They are eco friendly and just a great place to stay.

It's a bnb. Small, welcoming, unique, quaint, and really close to Auckland at a reasonable price. Ponsonby is trendy with lots of places to eat and drink within walking distance. I also recommend this bnb ( it's not really a hotel ! ) for the homely breakfast that you request when you book. We had a studio room with very comfy king-size bed, small ensuite, and kitchenette. Loved the colourful decor and eclectic feel as well as outdoor space to put our feet up. Recommend for people who're not too fussy about modernity but enjoy no fuss.

Wonderful warm welcome. Sophie and Soloi went out of their way to make us tea and get our room ready as we arrived early. Really homely and pleasant to be in. Great cotton sheets, comfy bed. 5 minutes walk to main Ponsonby with everything you could need. Very highly recommended. We'd give you 6 stars if we could.

Room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed in the room. Breakfast was good but limited and orange juice tasted more like a cordial drink. The price was far far too much for a b&b.

Beautiful cozy b&b in the heart of Ponsonby. Super cute rooms and very friendly, welcoming staff who are always happy to help. They offer wonderful breakfasts and have a 24/7 tea and coffee station. Super close to all the bars and cafes too:). Also recommend as a safe place for independent female travellers

Patrick was very warm and welcoming upon arrival; he gave us a wee tour of the hotel and our room. He was super friendly! Our room was a great size with a very comfortable bed. It was clean and had all the amenities you’d expect from a small hotel. It was quiet throughout the night and loved that the bed also had a heated blanket! Loved the area; we were able to walk to dinner with plenty of options along the way. We would absolutely stay here again!
