Liked: The hostel is great. Awesome living room with DVD and Sky. Everyone is friendly and there's a well-stocked kitchen.
Disliked: It was annoying having to buy more internet but not a massive inconvenience. It's pretty cheap and very fast.

Hi thanks for taking time to leave us a review,
Always pleasing to hear you found the staff helpful and our rooms clean. We do consider ourselves lucky to be located in a great suburb- Ponsonby is great for bars and eateries and it's still easy to get into the city.
If you're ever back in Auckland we would love for you to come back and stay with us.

Liked: Room was OK, we were lucky to have a car to drive into city as only took 5/10 mins but would of been much longer walk.
Disliked: Showers and toilets were dirty, mould on the walls, smell of urine and the smallest shower I've come across. I've been travelling for months and it's the worst bathroom facilities I've come across.

Hi thanks for taking time to leave a review.Ponsonby is a cool little suburb located just outside the city, which is easy accessible by the bus that leaves around the corner or its a nice 20 minute walk. :) We are sorry to hear that you found our toilets dirty, as they are cleaned thoroughly everyday by an outside cleaning company.We take great pride in our cleanliness around the grounds which you can see if you look at the other reviews.
Enjoy the rest of your travels
The Pb Team :)
