Jessica at Reception was friendly, charming and helpful. Within 10-15 minute walk to Albert and Victoria Parks and the harbor. Room was very nice. Comfortable bed. Clothes washer was in room; no dryer that I could find. I had a kitchen unit with refrigerator, stovetop and microwave; basic cooking necessities--pots, pans, etc. No condiments, cooking oil or spices were supplied. If you like to cook bring your own or purchase from one of the several local grocery stores nearby. I did not see an on-site restaurant. The property does offer room service dining as well as discounts when guests eat at a local breakfast cafe. The lack of restaurant was not of concern to me as I prepared my meals in room. The staff I met were friendly, polite and helpful. I very much enjoyed my four-night stay in May 2025. I mentioned the noise. To be clear, my room was very quiet. Noise referred to was due to the property's location in the Central Business District, the area is quite busy with tourists, locals going to and from work, automobile traffic, etc. which one encounters when walking about the area. I recommend the CityLife Auckland.
