Disliked: Nothing

Fantastic ❤️

Liked: For several years now, Verandhas has been our go-to place in Auckland because Campbell (the owner) is very kind and attentive. I recommend this place 100%.

A hidden gem in the...

Liked: As someone who doesn't frequent hostels much, I was pleasantly surprised & would recommend/return here again! Good vibes - I met some wonderful people from all over the worldExcellent location - close to Ponsonby which has lots of shops and cafes. Woolworths within for groceries. 30 minute walk into the city. Western Park close-by. Large communal kitchen & lounge homely -everything within. I was in the building with kitchen, there are 2 separate buildings within hostel (one with kitchen and lounge). Basically, you keep items in bag with your name and details for fridge and cupboard use (good idea and big focus on recycling in kitchen)Outdoor garden serene A lot of people extending stay/returning which is always a good sign!Wifi excellent throughout stayGreat laundry facilities - cash only - $6. Dryer or use of outdoor washing lineGentleman in charge kind when needing to cut stay short
Disliked: Check in poor. Office hours need changed. They are currently 8-12pm and 2-7pm. I arrived early at 1.15pm and wasn't able to check in to 2.15pm (check in at 2pm) despite alerting of my arrival. Luckily, some kind residents opened the door & allowed me in to sit in lounge to wait. A few others had the same issue and had to wait outside. Check in very rushed & not made to feel overly welcomeFan not working in room (B)- I did report to housekeeping team so hopefully fixed now. The room could get very warm @ night. Window open but on main road & noisy. Bring earplugs. Luggage room - learnt code from resident (not given on check in). Would have preferred individual locker. Stairs could be an issue if large suitcases.No group events when staying

Wonderful stay at Verandah Parkside...

Liked: The location, the room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The lounge space was great to chill and watch a movie away from the room. The kitchen was incredible had energy I needed.
Disliked: If I had to pin point one thing the windows on an evening rattled she the the crazy weather

Great location, historic building and...

Liked: The location is great, close to all you need on Ponsonby and K'Road, and eith lots of public transport. A 15 min walk takes you to the centre of the city too.The staff were exceptionally helpful and the shared facilties were well-kept and more than adequate for the number of guests. The garden was a lovely space to relax and the multiple verandahs and balconies were also great to watch the sunset from.
Disliked: Heavy suitcases could be a struggle if you're up- or downstairs.
