Good hostel-here you will find a new 'family' *
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AI had lived in the hostel Frienz about three months. At the beginning, I thought, this corresponds to the condition of the hostel not quite the description and the pictures on the Internet. But this hostel was really wonderful. The competence of the staff. The staff is very friendly and helpful and always had a smile on their face. The hostel manager is really nice and absolutely wonderful. There were theme evenings every evening, where all the backpackers be invited to participate. The staff in their ability to integrate and backpackers with a family management. As far as the facilities are concerned: Marc the manager was trying hard wear due to a constant coming and going from so many backpackers do to fix it. This means that you live on a construction site. Not at all, the employees try the work in and around the building so it is quiet and unobtrusive to make, so it didn't bother the guests. The decor of the rooms was also good, the beds quicken and creaks from time to time, but I believe you can be satisfied. It is a very clean hostel, it was cleaned twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. So, if you pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, is here exactly correct. The kitchen is good, since the hostel is not as large, of course, the rest was a bit smaller, as kitchen, 'living room' and a quiet area. You will have the opportunity to use the Internet. There were three computers available or if you have your own laptop, the WIFI can use network of hostels. The only downside, if you have a lot of heavy luggage arrive-there is no elevator in the hostel, which means you have to walk a lot of stairs. The hostel has a small courtyard and a large roof terrace, with a good view of downtown and the skytower. It is very centrally located, you can reach the Queen Street in two minutes, where all kinds of shopping possibilities. If you're looking for peace and quiet, no problem, two minutes up the hill and you are in the Albert park.
My conclusion of the hostel is, you'll find new friends and is housed in a small family. Everyone knows everyone in this hostel and it will be well taken care of. So if you plan to stay longer in Auckland, the hostel is just the place!
