★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an awesome stay at Oaklands Lodge. Great location, comfortable rooms and a kitchen with absolutely everything. CBD/ airport are all within a 20 min drive. Would highly recommend short or long-term stay here.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really nice hostel both for those who will stay 1, 2 or 30 days. The most special is the local managers team that give us example of the welcoming great kiwi spirit. Clean, friendly and comfortable environment, you will stay few steps from bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and 1 minute from the bus top in a calm residential area – so you don’t have to pay much money just to be in the heart of busy and noisy Queen Street Rd. If you are looking for an adult, non-party hostel, they mean it. You and your friends will still have a garden and gaming nights if you want to. If you go to Auckland on summer, my suggestion is book it ahead if you want to make special requirements (like fans) for shared rooms. You will have access to a very equipped kitchen and bathrooms for male and female too

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Oaklands is great. We stayed here for a week or so at the beginning of our 1 year working holiday, and chose to stay again when we returned to Auckland at the end of our year.
Dorms and private rooms are nice, kitchen is big and everything is clean enough. Common areas are nice, both inside and out. Staff are helpful. And it's not too expensive. Good value for your money.
I recommend staying at this hostel and climbing Mt. Eden, which is a quick hike right next door.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This hostel was truly a second home. I stayed in Auckland for 2 1/2 months here and I could not have been happier with my experience. Ian an Brenda are the sweetest people and the hostel itself was lovely. Great location, very safe. Highly, highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Needs some upkeep! Certainly friendly, but a number of things fall well behind other hostels in NZ.
It all smells like a wet dog, bathrooms ok but all gives an old and somewhat decrepit impression.
Owner upgraded me to a double which was cool.
Room: mattress a little too soft but fine. ‘Smart' wall socket randomly turned heater and light off, presumably anti-fire hazard, and I was in the dark for a while. Feel I should have been informed about this!
No free tea or coffee as is standard in other hostels.
Fine for a night, but not much more for me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was here a few weeks ago. I really liked the hostel. Nice location, clean, cozy living room and nice people around. But the management is destroying the good atmosphere. It can happen that you are temporary not allowed to use the kitchen anymore because someone else has not cleaned his/her dishes. You sometimes don´t get treated like a customer. Sometimes more like a child.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I stayed one week in this hostel. The place is really nice and calm, very clean, and close to many shops and bars. People here are very welcoming and I had a pleasant stay there. The only thing that was unpleasant was the managers... It felt more like I was staying in their own house than in a hostel. I was washing my dishes and the woman arrived in the kitchen and start to yell at me, saying that I really should clean everything perfectly. She talk to me the way my mother would talk to me and I think that was very unprofessional. She talks the same way to her cleaners and seems always mad. I heard her saying that if we are not happy about the way things are here we should go to another hostel... Not nice at all. It’s really too bad considering how charming this place is...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was everything I was looking for. It's close to the city center if that is what you are into but it's so nice that it's not right in the middle of it! It's a ten minute walk to the top of Mt. Eden (with outstanding 360 views of the city) and walkable to so many shops and cafe's. There are several wonderful kebab shops and a super quaint bookstore. The set-up of the hostel itself is also lovely. It's an old victorian so you feel more like you're staying at a home then in a typical hostel - but still has everything you need in any hostel. The rates are also very reasonable. Laundry on site, great kitchen, living room/hang out room and great garden area in the back (and small one in front). Highly recommend this great place!
