I came back to Verandahs after almost a year of my travels in NZ as it was the first hostel I stayed at. I felt really welcomed there and it finished the circle for me perfectly. I really like their kitchen+common area, rooms are spacious and plenty bathrooms(you always have a private shower and toilet),it's a social yet not a party hostel.Thank you very much! I hope to be back one day.

I have stayed here a few times before, it is always welcoming and I love the large rooms and spaces. Light and well ventilated, backs onto a large park setting and super convenient being close to the shops in Ponsonby. Would recommend, and will come back again !

We're lucky to have Vehrandas's where it is: an affordable backpackers in a great spot in well renovated buildings not far from public transport and an easy walking distance to eateries, parkland and more. I've stayed here a few times now; it's my go to place in Auckland. The staff have always seemed friendly and helpful. Improvement wise, there's only one thing I can think of: as new renovations are carried out (eg: 1st floor bathrooms on the reception building) the owners, like most, are getting LED lighting fitted. Often this is too bright and the wrong colour temperature, making use of the facilities uncomfortable at night and having a very real effect on sleep (exposure to bright blue-white light at night can put the sleep cycle back by hours). My suggestion there is that the owners pay particular attention to the brightness and colour temperature of the LED lights they're fitting: they should be warm white (2600-3000 kelvin) rather than daylight white or cool white. This would not cost any more, and would help maintain the warm and homely ambience that Vehrandah's already mostly has.…

I arrived early and as soon as my room was ready they were kind enough to let me in. They were most helpful with a last minute booking. They were understanding that I was tired from my flight and did not disturb me when I had a nap through the day. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The kitchen, sitting rooms, bathrooms and where I slept were all so accommodating and comfortable. The beds and bathrooms and kitchen were always so clean. It's located nearby a Countdown Supermarket and a beautiful park. I highly recommend staying here.

Excellent hostel - clean, big rooms and near a big park and amenities such as grocery stores. I traveled throughout NZ and would only stay here while in Auckland. It’s about a 20 minute walk from Skycity where the intercity/airport buses stop at. Lovely place!

We had a private room at Verandahs. The location is excellent -right at one end of Ponsoby Road, with lots of restaurants and a good supermarket nearby. The room itself was comfortable and quite spacious, but be aware that there was no air conditioning in the room, and there was no fridge or TV. The back of the building looks out onto a beautiful green park, which was really nice.
