Bamber House Reviews

Bamber House is an excellent hostel. I did not want to stay in central Auckland so their Mt Eden location was perfect for me, close to the Domain as well as shops and resturants with good bus connections for both the airport and getting into the CBD. A friendly and welcoming hostel, the staff here were very helpful.

I don't know what my problem is for not reviewing Bamber House sooner because it is without a doubt one of the nicest, possibly THE nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. It's in a quiet neighborhood- LOVED Mt. Eden, and Tim, the manager, is a really lovely guy. Super helpful, super friendly, and the rooms were clean and nice, with a great kitchen! The only strange thing was that the rest of the staff seemed like a posse, and would stay up really late and be quite loud drinking outside.

The ensuite-rooms are great, the privates with shared bathrooms are a bit aged, but still quite alright. Kitchen could have been a bit cleaner, but comes with a good variety of spices! 200 mb free internet per person. Supermarket and restaurants within 15 min, bus to city 2 min (takes 10-15 min downtown).

I loved this hostel, everything was great, especially the staff (Tim the manager is awesome) and the atmosphere (it's like a family).

good location, central, friendly staff. only personally, i like smaller hostel (it s huge one compared to others).

This was one of our favorite places on out RTW trip. Great facilities, helpful friendly staff and great activities if you wanted to socialize. The only downside would be that it wasn't very close to the city centre. The bus leaves every 15 mins right outside and it takes about 10 minutes into town. However the surrounding area was wonderful with grocery stores close by and the wonderful Mt Eden with great views. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic place to stay, really great atmosphere. It's sad to be leaving. The managers; Tim, Graziano and Frankie, were all very helpful and kept our trip on course for excellent party times.

My wife and I really enjoyed being at Bamber House . The staff were very helpful and the facilities and location were great. We thought the kitchen was well laid out and worked well even with a lot of people it. The grounds are lovely to sit in and we enjoyed lunch there before navigating to the airport.

Our booking got mixed up, and our room had been given away to someone else on the first night. But Frankie sorted it out and got us accommodation nearby-- slight inconvenience that made us alter some plans but no real drama. Once we were able to stay at Bamber House, it was great. I loved how organized and clean everything was, especially the kitchen. The room was comfortable as well. I could understand why people stay there longer term, it is very homey & Mt Eden is a nice area.

Very nice and calm place closee to the inner city. To be recommended.

Good location, not in the centre of town but close to mount Edin and walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants in that area. Lots of parking too if you bring your own car/camper. Had an ensure room and it was fine, comfortable, clean, and had a nice deck you could sit out in the sun on. Overall would recommend!

Great place, enjoyed my stay.. Doors in need of a serious oiling though which makes a loud morning! So can't sleep in...

A nice place to stay if you're planning on being in Auckland for a while. If staying just a day or two I suggest something more centrally located, but good people and atmosphere at teh Bamber House,

good facilities, clean and friendly.

I had a 20 or so hour layover in Auckland, and found this was a good place to stay. It was easy to get to from the airport and in walking distance of enough stuff to keep my occupied for the day. The room was clean and the bathrooms nice. Our window was open in our room so the cat decided to come join me in bed at around 5am, but she was really sweet so she was forgiven for waking me up. I really enjoyed my stay, definitely recommend it.

We stayed at Bamber House in the beginning of our trip and for one night before flying back home. On our last night in Auckland we were able to book a private room with ensuite bathroom and it was well worth the money! The room was lovely, great modern decor and very clean/spacious space. The kitchen and common spaces were great as well, wonderful staff. We had a very pleasant stay, thanks Bamber House!

An excellent, clean and spacious hostel with all the trimings and very nice and organized staff. Not smack in the middle of Auckland but very conveniently located. Prices are (in line with entire Auckland and NZ) a bit high, though.

We loved our stay at Bamber House, we found it comfortable, well equipped and laid out. Comfortable beds, nearly always hot showers, and friendly staff. Just opposite a bus that takes you into the city for $1.80, and a limited amount of free wifi. I'd happily stay here again.

Wonderful hostel that let me check out at 4am and just leave my key on the bed. Very nice staff, and good facilities.

Fantastic crew and the best location for a visit to Auckland. You should do yourself a favour and give the city centre hostels a miss, They even cooked me beef pie & chips the night I was there, just $5. Bamber House has it all!
