Good value. Lots of space with the two room suite. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was decent with a few good restaurants nearby. Unfortunately, there is construction next door to the hotel. Quite loud, but not a bother if you are an early riser and up and out. Overall, we were happy with our stay.
Gaynor Aicken
So pleased that we stayed here as very luxurious and good value for money. Great location to the city center. Next time in Christchurch we will definitely stay here again.

We’ve stayed a couple of nights to kick-off our NZ road tour. All clean and well maintained. Beds were comfy. Walking distance to the city center but still very quiet. Lots of restaurants close by.
