Liked: The off street parking and the free internet were the big draw for us and it delivered on both. The reception staff were friendly and keen to offer advice on the area which was very helpful. The room was adequate and the social areas were comfortable. The views from the property are lovely.
Disliked: The building is very run down and the kitchen is way too small for the number of people that can stay here.

Liked: A little bit far from the center of the Auckland city, but still nice. It's very beautiful suburb, not noisy and crowded with people. Mt. Eden is very convinient place to live in. there's lots of cute shops like icecream, candies, vegetable, meats and fishes in the town, and good restaurants also. there's small mountain near the hostel, if you climb up there, you can see the beautiful panolama view of all Auckland city.It's very nice hotel like staying in one house. I strongly reccomend to stay here when you come to Aucklnad.
