We had a HUGE 2 bedroom suite. It had everything we needed including an air fryer, which was a nice surprise. Our bed was comfy, so was the couch. The best part was definitely the staff, they were all great!

The Camelot is in a great location, close to the centre of Christchurch and we enjoyed our stay. Clinton, the manager, is very helpful and wonderful to communicate with but the Camelot is in dire need of some serious upgrade on many fronts.

The accommodation was okay. I found it quite dated and the shower was moldy. The single bed was horrible and not comfortable at all. Definitely needs doing up.

We were able to check in earlier than 3pm which was very helpful to us as we had a hospital appointment to go to. The unit was very clean and tidy, just found the bedroom drapes were a bit light and tired.

Enjoyed our brief stay at Camelot very reasonably priced. Facilities are looking a bit tired but I understand it is under new ownership and they have plans for refurbishment.
