Silverfern Backpackers

Pros: Polite Staff at the front desk, room rubbish bins emptied everyday. I met the manager behind the reception desk, being polite, nice, and welcoming.Great Team all round. The bunks in the dorms were ok, if you had a ladder attached, even better. The bathrooms and toilets were cleaned all the time. The temperature in the showers and pressure was great, a little less than half way between Hot & Cold, was perfect for a hot shower. Kitchen, large, open, heaps of cookware, pots/pans/saucepans 3 stoves 1 gas, 2 Gas hot plates. There are 2 kettles, 2 toasters, 1 microwave, 3 fridges for cold food storage, and 2 large cabinets for dry food storage. There is also a bar table and chairs, then at the back of the kitchen is the seating area. 5 tables with booth seats around them. Downstairs has another bathroom with showers and toilets, next to the bathroom is some weights and a bench press bar. And a little bit further is the backyard where you can smoke, vape, have a social drink with a friend. Use the Barbecue.

I liked the level of cleanliness,the friendly front desk team,the housekeeping and cleaning staffs and the overall atmosphere and great ambience of the place. The Friday & Saturday evening get together . Most importantly the kind and caring nature of Front desk staff. Exceptionally professional.

When you come to new country and you don't know anyone but this hostel is really friendly. Staff and some old guest they make you feel comfortable. Even this hostel helped me to work here, after I got job another place I quit working here in few days and I understand both side better how difficult for hostel to manage. If staff knock on private room doors some guests says why you knocked for housekeeping can't you see it's private room and some guest complaint why nobody come to clean. As been a guest it's easy to say anything but guest should understand after paying cheapest price in cheapest hostel of Aucland they really expect 5 star hotel treatment. They should understand what good things they getting in cheapest price rather than focusing on what they didn't get which they didn't even pay for.

Sometimes They open till 11:00

Great backpackers perfectly located both near the city and K Road so great food and bars right at your door step. Cleaning is done daily and the property owner is investing in doing the place up. New TV in the lounge, movie nights and get together events done weekly. You can’t get better value for your money anywhere else in the City..The staff are always smiling and more than helpful. Overall I rate the property 11 out of 10
