The Muse has the unfortunate aspect if sharing their premise with a rooftop bar. To try and sleep, I resorted to wearing noise cancelling headphones, yet could still hear the thumping beat of the music long into the night. I can’t see this premise lasting the distance until they decide what their function is. A night club- or a place to rest after a fun time in CHCH. Someone has to make a busines...

The only positive of this place was the cafe downstairs - sta...

Stayed here ahead of an event. Room was nice, bed super comfy. Great view back to Port Hills. However, staff never alerted us that the water was being turned off early hours of the morning, only discovered when we got up to shower. Called to reception who then informed us that they had anticipated it being back on by 8am… it was now 8.30am. We ended up leaving at 9am seeking showers elsewhere. Poo...
