Hostel in Auckland

“Super local Thanks for the info”

“We had a fantastic stay here. The relaxed old house charm is a nice change from corporate hostel chains (which I frequently also use). We also met some really nice people staying here - it attracts a nice, laid back crowd. Plus if you like a breathtaking sunset every night, it is literally 5 minutes from the peak of Mount Eden (an extinct volcano). Finally, you know the U2 song, One Tree Hill? The veranda at Yaping House overlooks that very same One Tree Hill they are singing about. Recommended for a relaxed stay of a week or more.”

“I love the gadsby Lodge its nice and tidy the rents cheap and gave me a roof over my head.”

“Good staff and people in Residence Panmure and i will recommend other my friend to stay here.Thank you”

“Really interested building which has had some pretty important guests over the years including the Queen of Tonga and also the Queen of England. Lovely feel to the place. Very quiet and peaceful. The rooms were a decent size. The kitchen was clean and spacious and the living room area was really well set out and comfy. The hostel is just a couple of minutes walk from Parnell high street which means that you have shops, restaurants and bars nearby. Would certainly stay here again.”

“The hostel is very centrally located in Auckland CBD, making it convenient for sightseeing, public transport and walking to many spots. Many reviewers highlight the staff as helpful and friendly. One site noted: “Staff is really helpful and kind… value honestly you will get what you pay.” According to the hostel’s website, there are large shared kitchens, lounge/TV room, free high-speed WiFi, parking availability. Many travellers say that if you are staying only a few nights and are budget-conscious, it “does the trick”. From reviews: “It was ok but you got what you paid for. … close to city centre and affordable.”

“Sure, this place is a bit run down except they try their best. It's a really old building with some long term residents. Under renovation apparently. Great location.”
