BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch
There's no shuttle service no parking and you have to pay extra for everything. I will never book this hotel again!

Novotel Christchurch Airport
This place is great. Our beds were very comfortable. The chairs and sofa were cute but pretty firm and not comfortable. The staff were awesome and the restaurant on the top floor was very good.

Hotel Give
We had a studio room which was great. It came with a little basic kitchen. Loved being next to the gardens and such a short walk to the riverside markets and mall. It was a bit noisy at night with people coming and going .
