Love this hotel. Perfect location, exceptional staff service, delicious food and the most comfortable and clean rooms. The complimentary mini bar is a nice touch and especially love the Espresso Martini on tap which can be ordered as your welcone drink if you're an Accor Plus member. Brilliant.

Surprisingly a lovely quiet hotel with great staff. Apart from the room configuration the bedroom was clean, bed comfortable, and the view was awesome. Good selection for breakfast. 8 minute walk from the Christchurch central bus station, 5 minutes walk to local bars and restaurants and to the cities shops. So overall great experience.

We had a good stay at Novotel Christchurch. The location was great and so was the room. The rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious. The buffet breakfast was quite repetitive, with the same limited menu offered every day during our 4-day stay. And the room service was extremely slow. We waited 1 hour for some chicken nuggets and fries for the kids.
