Latest Review for Ponsonby Backpackers

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

The kitchen was quite clean with ample room for food storage.

The bunk beds were not so good since they rock easily; especially if you have a person who kicks in their sleep beneath you!

The washing machine only used cold water?! A little inconvenient if you do not buy cold water washing powder. The Italians were not happy! and neither was I for that matter.

About Ponsonby Backpackers

Internet Access

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP from Jan 09 !!!

Ponsonby Backpackers is perfectly located in one of the most historical, funky and central areas of Auckland. Just 50 metres walk to bars, cafes, restaurants and convenience shops and a short 20 min stroll to sky tower and viaduct basin etc. OR hop on the link bus right outside our door ($1.60) and ride in comfort to most of Auckland's major attractions in the central city area.

In a 19th century villa, we invite our fellow travellers to relax in our tv lounge (Sky TV), surf our fast internet (desktop & WiFi) or have a BBQ in our sunny outdoor area.

We appreciate the importance of clean facilities therefore we will be cleaning non-stop making sure everything is spotless.

Our facilities include 4 bathrooms with hot showers 24 hours a day, lounge room, dining room, laundry and free use kitchen .

Whether you are starting your N.Z adventure or want to finish it off with peace and quiet, Ponsonby Backpackers is the place to be.

The washing machine only used cold water?! A little inconvenient if you do not buy cold water washing powder. The Italians were not happy! and neither was I for that matter.

Also, there is a little problem with seating in the TV room since I had to stand on occasion and lean against the sofa.

This hostel is ok for a few days whilst you get something better fixed. All in all, it's a non-returner.
