City Centre
Auckland has plenty of luxury hotels, with several international chains taking up inner-
city real estate. At the other extreme, any backpackers who leave with a bad impression of
Auckland have invariably stayed in crummy, noisy digs in the city centre. Not all of the
cheap city accommodation is bad, but you'll find much better hostels in inner suburbs like
Ponsonby, Parnell, Freemans Bay and Mt Eden, and central Auckland is still easily
reached by bus.
