"Had a very nice stay at The Garden Hostel. The rooms were clean, tidy, and all amenities were great and exactly as described. The location is ideal in Auckland CBD, quiet and away from the busy and noisy areas around Albert Street, yet still very close to all the main attractions and transport hubs and ferries for getting around. Amazing views of the surrounding skyscrapers, along with very friendly and supportive staff. I ended up extending my stay. Highly recommended."

"One of the cleanest places ive ever stayed in, there wasn’t even dust under the bed. The place is well maintained besides the taped over extraction fan in the mens shower ceiling. the showers themselves were 100% Mold free and spotless with good water pressure. The place is a bit dated but wasn’t an issue as i just used the place to sleep between being out all day. Only real issue i had was that i couldn’t bring snacks back into my room otherwise place was great. would defiantly stay again when...
