(Edit) I'm reviewing again because I stayed here a second time in just 2 months. We had an issue with the blind in our room it wasn't staying shut quickly resolved by receptionist and moved and upgraded to a king room. ALL silver member by the way. We checked in late unfortunately no parking in multistory behind hotel we parked in street. Thank you so much for the welcome card, TV was on lights we...

The rooms are teeny tiny, but perfect for a solo traveller. Service is lovely. Wifi is strong enough for meetings. Beds are comfortable, but a bit short for us taller than average people. Skip the breakfast. It isn't worth the price. Go to the pastry shop around the corner for breakfast. Location is a bit far from the airport, but perfect for wandering around Christchurch. The rooms are quiet, but...

The double bed is obviously very small for 2...

The ambience of the lobby was nice, the meal of lamb shanks ordered at the restaurant...

The rooms are perfect if you are looking for no frills, the rooms are quite small but cater for what you need. My room was perfect for a single travelling for work, but if you need more space you’ll need a bigger room. The restaurant food was good, I had the fish. The coffee was ok, but I didn’...
