From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by warm and friendly staff—nothing was ever too much trouble. The room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to all my favourite shopping spots, the Christchurch Bus Interchange, and the Riverside Market. I would definitely stay at BreakFree on Cashel again and highly recommend it to my family and friends.

I would like to suggest a change to the system for the continental breakfast. The coffee and hot water were both cold and when I asked for the mine to be reheated-the staff member obliged. Following me was another person and then anther went up to the expresso machine to have theirs reheated. I would have thought that the cold coffee and water would have been replaced straight away. Also the standard of the coffee was not really what I would have expected- more suited to a workers canteen. I found the staff were very obliging-especially Sophie who helped me navigate the technologies of the room.
