Have stayed here a few times and really like. Great spot for the central city and the new stadium. The rooms are not huge but they are very well equipped and good value.
Clean room, great staff, great customer service, nice buffet breakfast available, best location right in town, close to everything. For the price, this is a very good hotel.
Very friendly staff and an excellent bar and restaurant. The room was pretty basic and the loo felt like it was in the room with us. Also got a bit stuffy at night as the window did not open. Having said that it was excellent value for money and really well situated in the city centre. We will definitely stay there again.
Everything was easy to get to and the staff very accommodating also very pleasant to converse with no matter how trivial. Overall I would recommend and stay at the facility.
I have been travelling around New Zealand for 3 weeks and this is by far the best accommodation that I have stayed in. It’s also very well priced and to be honest I would have expected to have had to pay more for such good accommodation and brilliant location in Christchurch.
The rooms are spotless and the beds are so comfortable along with the staff being so polite and welcoming.
The facilities are very good and in reception you have plenty of room to just sit and have a chat in.
I liked it that much that I booked another night in it, for to break my journey back up to Auckland.
I can highly recommend it and you will really enjoy your stay. Fantastic *****
September 2026.
Perfect central accommodation allowing all travelers for all reasons access to the absolute best that chch has to offer.
Great value, friendly staff, and close to everything.
Affordable and great location. I can go for short walks and explore the city anytime. Everything is close by. The room is clean and it's been tidied up every day. The breakfast is amazing! One incident I had on the second night was the light wasn't turning off before I went to bed. So, I informed the reception, and they actioned it straight away by putting me in a different room. Great service and friendly staff.
Go to for quick trips, compact, clean and comfortable room are my choice when traveling for work as I’m only there to sleep. Ticks all the boxes for me.
The parking situation here is a bit confusing along with trying to unload and get into. I’d recommend calling before hand to avoid confusion.
That said, staff is great and location is convenient. I would say the showers/bathroom were a little jarring.
The staff were absolutely lovely and helpful. The location was excellent being in the heart of the city close to lots of city attractions and things to do.
