Top Avon Heathcote Estuary Hotel Reviews

Fable Christchurch

8/10 Good

"I feel like a good coat of pain in some areas would be a good idea. The restaurant does not compare to other locations in the decor or upkeep. I am not saying it is a dump, it is very nice, I am saying it is not 5 star. To me, 5 star is perfection. Staff was great, but I don't understand why you take a incidental deposit and then not use it and demand another payment in addition saying the deposit would get credited. Why take the deposit, if you are going to do that. And if you are staying there, don't valet park for the crazy price. Use the Wilson lot next door and save about 50%!"

"Clean Room, courteous Staff."

Christchurch City Hotel

8/10 Good

"Thank you to the entire team at Christchurch City Hotel and helping to make our first trip to Christchurch a lovely stay. The room was lovely with an amazing view of the square, streets and surrounding buildings. The reception staff were wonderful and so friendly. The house keeping staff were lovely, super polite and kept our room at a high standard. We appreciated the brief chats at the front desk and considered you are all ambassadors to your hotel and indeed the Christchurch CBD. Everything you needed was a short walking distance. My husband spent a fair amount of time in the room and said he wished there was a comfortable lounge seat to relax in. The seating wasn’t comfy and the only alternative was the bed which wasn’t comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. The only grumble we had was our experience in the bar on our first night. The Asian barman was rude and really pretentious. My husband informed him we weren’t dining and he was handed a food menu with the drinks menu’s. My husband politely repeated we weren’t dining and the barman retorted “I know” and took the menu back. When we ordered drinks he brought them back and said “I hope I got that right” and my husband replied “so do I”. It was an uncomfortable exchange and I was super proud that my husband maintained his composure because I can assure you he was fuming. We left after finishing our drink. Not a great start to our stay but thankfully the rest of the staff were amazing. Thank you again guys."
