I stayed here in March for 1 night and although I booked a twin room there weren't any available when we arrived so had to stay in a 4 bed dorm. The room was ok but a little on the small side and the mattress was awful, it was so saggy I thought I was going to sink into the... More

Good location in Auckland, but this place seems to be getting run down. The decorative wall paper is peeling off, the lounge area seems dirty, the rooftop patio is just a rooftop, the kitchen is small for the amount the people using it, and the computers are terrible slow. There is a party atmosphere to the place. The front desk... More

If you like sharing your room with bugs then by all means sleep here. Stayed here recently and woke up next morning itching my arms due to being bitten by BED BUGS during the night. Ants are also present in the room, when a cleaner came in to tidy up she calmly said ' oh every room has them' ...so... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed in a double private room for 4 nights. The only good thing was the location. We did not get any sleep for 4 nights due to the noise of traffic and drunk people on the streets at night. The street lighting also keeps your room lighted during the night. Paranoid that I was being bitten... More

We stayed there in Nov. 2011 and I just can say, dont go there! Ladies Bathroom door was partly hinged out, the ceiling was coverd with mildew, the bed sheets were stained and we thing they had bedbugs too! In the kitchen the ceiling showed a big hole. Receptionists were not very helpful. More

If you're traveling to Auckland DO NOT STAY AT FRIENZ HOSTEL. They have 5 floors of mold, no elevators. They had the second floor ceiling in the girls bathroom cave in twice in three months because they have water leaks that they don't want to fix or is too costly to fix. The pictures on their website is false advertisement,... More

I would not recommend staying at the auckland branch of this hostel. We went with the cheapest hostel ($60 per night - double room) and it was gross. The womens bathroom ceiling leaked into the toilet cubicles from the gapping holes in the ceiling. The sink was blocked and I asked the receptionist to get someone to fix it and... More

Myself & a friend stayed in the Christchurch Frienz and we anded up having to stay for 8 nights as they do not do cancellations. They only issue vouchers which is not useful when you are leaving the country. I'll start with the 'reception'... it is the worst reception area I have ever experienced. The English, not Kiwi, staff are... More
