Vandrarhem i East Auckland

“Verandahs is a lovely old villa with an almost ‘posh’ backpackers vibe. Its a couple of minutes walk to Ponsonby Road and about 10-15 minutes to K Road. We stayed in a queen room with ensuite which was spacious and clean, with nice linen on the bed. Check in was a breeze and the service was friendly and warm. Definately recommend and would stay here again :)”

“Was happy with the staff at United..unfortunately not so impressed with 'wotif' ( third party booking ).. Got to United only to find there was no room available ( one i had book 2 months in advance)..Had booking references Numbers and whats more ..i actually rang the hotel 2 minutes after i had made the booking ( just to confirm) and they said yes all is fine?? After a 45 minute wait while staff located us a room we had somewhere to stay..( myself and my two sons) one of which was flying out...

“Dirty bathrooms and kitchen, not up to the standard in regards to the price. And towels to hire are 10 dollars, not very sustainable considering a new one is like 6 dollars maximum (and just feels a bit cheap to be far)”

“Very good female bathroom, and well equiped kitchen. Friendly welcome! I do think it would come across a bit more friendly if guests were allowed to hang out at the rooftop or get access to the bathroom prior to check-in though, it's the standard you would expect. ”

“It wasn’t at all as expected. The bed was so squeeky, as soon as you moved it made noises. Super thin walls, you heard everything (!) that the neighbours did. For that price though, I assume you can’t really expect too much but everything else was booked out this night in Auckland so there was no choice left really. If you’re 20 years old and don’t care too much where you live or how you sleep, absolutely a place that works. For me though, it was pretty awful. ”

“Nice staff and clean. Excellent hostel !! ”

“Vi stannade 3 nätter på detta hostel, vilket var vårat första stopp på vår resa. Det bästa med detta boende är läget, det är gångavstånd in till centrum och ponsonby road är en livlig och trevlig gata. Ett stort minus med hostelet är att det är extremt lyhört, vi vaknade i princip varje natt av andra gäster som festade eller bara pratade.”

“Good clean and convenient ”

“We booked this property because it was a handy location, unfortunately we had also booked it because it said we could have 3 separate beds and because I was booking it for 3 students that didn't really know each other it was appropriate they have their own beds. I have just been told they were only provided with a double and single bed. This has put me in a rather awkward position. They were not confident to ask for this to be changed.”

“Backpackers small building was crowded (taken over) by a bunch of thugs, having meetings inside. ”

“Lovely and helpful staff, comfortable beds. Felt surprisingly private. The shared spaces were spacious, comfortable and lovely. They have a “quiet” room which was highly appreciated. It felt new, fresh and cozy. The kitchen could get pretty messy but the staff tried their best to keep it clean. I felt like I got a lot of value for the money.”
