    This hotel provides excellent value for money. The affordable prices are perfect for budget travelers, and the comfortable blankets in the rooms guarantee a good night's sleep. The location is also convenient, with easy access to the city center and a shuttle service for airport transfers.

    I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. the location was fantastic, with the city centre and a supermarket just a stone's throw away. It made it really convenient for me to explore the city and grab any essentials I needed. Secondly, the staff were amazing - so friendly and supportive throughout my entire stay. They really went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Lastly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, with attention to detail in both the basic amenities and the private bathroom. It made my stay feel like a home away from home.

    Everything was exactly as I had hoped, no improvements needed.

    Great location, clean room and friendly staff! This budget accommodation exceeded my expectations. It is located in the heart of the city, within walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The room was clean and had all the basic amenities. The staff was very welcoming and helpful in suggesting things to do during my city trip. I appreciated the free wifi and luggage storage offered by the hotel.

    The kitchen could have been better maintained. It was small and a bit untidy.

    The hostel had free Wi, Fi and two kitchens with tons of free food. the place had a great lounge area and a large and clean backyard to relax in. the hostel was located only a short walk away from the city center and there was a supermarket nearby.

    The hostel was noisy with paper, thin walls and some guests were loud and inconsiderate. the parking facilities were not great, with only on, street parking available and cars needing to be moved every couple of hours.

    Located in a calm neighborhood, this hostel provides guests with the opportunity to explore the city center within a 10 minute walk. the charming architecture and multiple lounges make it perfect for those looking for a cozy atmosphere. the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms and kitchens may not suit everyone's requirements.

    The hostel's cleanliness and outdated facilities are less than ideal for some travelers.

    Conveniently located in a quiet area, this hotel is just a short walk away from the city centre. Transportation is readily available with a bus stop nearby. The hotel facilities are clean and orderly, and the staff is helpful, even when checking in late at night.

    All was good.

    I had a great stay at Freemans Backpackers! The location right next to the motorway was perfect for getting in and out of Auckland quickly. The bedroom was clean and the sheets were fresh. The kitchen was well-equipped and the staff were friendly and helpful. The free wifi was the fastest I've experienced in my year of traveling New Zealand. I would highly recommend Freemans Backpackers for a long-term stay or for those looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay in Auckland.

    I wanted to visit Auckland Zoo, so I chose Freemans Backpackers for its convenient location. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the free Wi-Fi internet available 24 hours a day. Additionally, I liked the fact that guests can prepare their meals in the shared kitchen.

    Bunk beds classified as twin rooms.
