Borders Beyond Reviews

Great hostel, great moment spent in auckland, a staff very friendly david, the boss, is very helpful, he can help you for all administrative procedure !!! especially he has sens of humour beyond compare!! we were in a double room , it was spacious, clean and luminous!! the area is quiet and near to the main street anyway, it's really a great place, for sure we'll come back!!

Borders Beyond is a great friendly, homely hostel that I would recommend to those wanting a chilled out comfy stay. The staff were very helpful with local knowledge and more than happy to share some good spots.I felt really at home as they remembered my name and often checked in with me to see how I was enjoying Auckland. Great tv area to share with other backpackers, Internet was fast and reliable, showers/toilets very clean, paying 50cents wasn't a big deal. Will definately go back :)

Very good little Hostel just a 15 minute walk from down town, it has a relaxed and friendly vibe to it! will stay there again!

No problems at all other than having to pay for a hot shower!! Will stay again.

All good. I've been here before when i arrived in NZ. They upgraded the Hostel with a nice new back area which is good to have some drinks or to chill when its raining. I can still recommend it.

Very good hostel to start when you arrive in NZ. Nice ,tidy and so CHEAP! The managers (Robert & Joanne) were very helpfull, and they can speak english, french, german and some spanish! It is quiet and close to the city center. I will come back for sure!

the staff were very friendly and helpfull! not enough toilets or showers, the kitchen was dirty and we didnt want to use anything without cleaning it first!

So friendly and helpful staff, helping us with getting around and storing our luggage. And also very funny and in a good mood. The atmosphere was very relaxed and good, and our room was great. We enjoyed it so much we have booked it again for our revisit in Auckland!

Nice and relaxed place, our stay only suffering from the noisy construction work in the neighbourhood at the moment. Should be okay in a few weeks!

The manager and his assistant were very welcome when I arrived. This hostel is very friendly. Great atmosphere with the other guests in the lounge and in the quiet and cosy new back area. It is a good place to be just close to the downtown. Main street, mains pubs restaurant and other entertainement place are next door. For sure when I would leave New Zealand, before to take my plane I will be in Borders Beyond backpacker hostel !!!

Great backpacker's place!!!!!! Special thank you to David the manager and his staff for making me feel so welcome. Clean room, good facilities, safe hostel, good atmosphere and close to center... very good value for money and highly recommended!!

After being a little skeptical about this hostel when we arrived, once we got in and met David all skepticism faded. This hostel was a great place to stay, and I loved the atmosphere. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in Auckland.

paying hot water is "un scandale" !

David seemed very nice and was friendly and welcoming. It is probably a good place to stay if you are french. From the CBD its about 25-30 minute walk to the centre of Queen Street. Be warned that if you want to walk back to the hostel in the evening or at night you have to walk down K Road which is Auckland's red light disctrict- having said that there is a bus stop very near and the fare is pretty reasonable if you want to avoid that.

We just stayed here for a night after we got to Auckland and were leaving the next morning. It was pretty quiet and the staff was super friendly. Lots of long term guests who can give you ideas about what to do.

Good atmosphere and about 15 mins walk to Auckland city centre. Owners are good fun and welcoming, would recommend.

Definitely the place to be. Helpful and great staff despite the owner wears old fashioned yellow and blue jersey. Staff are always here to help, discuss, and try to feel yourself like home.

The ideal place to follow the world cup: very quiet, very friendly and very clean. Ideally placed, has 5 minutes of the city center, thus close to all the conveniences but in a quiet district. on the top of that the manager gets involved in the life of the backpacker and helps you in all administrative action.

Loved my stay here, management and staff were so helpful and had heaps of knowledge on what to do in Auckland, will be booking in again when I'm back in Auckland
