"I always love staying here. It’s by far the best Auckland hotel if you want value for money and nice, thoughtful touches. We love that there are 2 beds in the standard rooms, along with a fridge, hairdryer and other nice things. This stay was the best yet as there was a lovely garden area outside with a nice rose bush and a table and 2 chairs. The Naumi staff are always outstanding and the rooms are always clean and comfortable. Thank you Naumi!"
