Review by hotel critic
Tucked away in the vibrant Auckland Central Business District, I loved how we were just a hop, skip, and jump away from trendy boutiques and lovely oyster bars - perfect for post-adventure bites with my fellow travelers! The shared lounge was a great spot for unwinding; we even managed to have a mini poker night that livened things up. The communal kitchen was clean and well-kept, making it easy to whip up a bite before heading out to see the iconic Sky Tower just down the road. Plus, with free WiFi, I was able to share my favorite snaps from the day while catching up on my favorite shows. For anyone looking for a chill vibe, friendly faces, and a solid base to explore the city, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Frienz. 10/10 experience!
