Convenient and comfortable

Excellent 1 night stay for a look around Christchurch before driving Arthur’s Pass. Recommend this convenient hotel which is in walking distance to the city centre. Room very clean, and spacious and the breakfast plentiful and varied. The pool to wind down in was very welcome after a full day.

Stained duvet. Lucky it was warm and only needed to sleep with the sheet. Very noisy neighbours.with non paying guests. After complaining to reception at 2am noise continued till 430am. If you can sleep with paper thin walls and noise id recommend this place. Not a place I'd would be back to visit
