Had a very nice stay at The Garden Hostel. The rooms were clean, tidy, and all amenities were great and exactly as described. The location is ideal in Auckland CBD, quiet and away from the busy and noisy areas around Albert Street, yet still very close to all the main attractions and transport hubs and ferries for getting around. Amazing views of the surrounding skyscrapers, along with very friendly and supportive staff. I ended up extending my stay. Highly recommended.
