We loved the location 😊 it was all clean and welcoming. Loved the family room but sadly wasnt told about it which would of been nice at.check in. We also would of loved some cultery and plates as we were traveling with a little one, you provided it apon request which was nice.

Please note the hotel now charges for parking. I would have stayed elsewhere had I known this when I booked. Also, the hotel doesn't offer a broad selection of TV channels as many other places I've stayed do. For these two reasons, I found the accommodation overpriced. I've stayed at many other places in Christchurch with better amenities and free parking. But there is a bar and restaurant on site so if that's the most important criteria, then it's probably fine for you. The hotel staff are excellent, friendly, and helpful.

This property is not about 5-10 minutes walk away from the city center which suits some people who doesn't like crowd. The staff are friendly and helpful. This property offers a laundry room where guests can use. One thing that bother me is my room is facing the street, since the windows of my room can be opened, the sound proof of it is a bit off. I was waken up every morning around 6am because a truck was parked downstairs and was doing some operations which causes lots of noise.

Site great, Service depends on who, food NO!
I arrived at the hotel 6 hours before check in - I utilized the bag drop service; and the reception offered to put my room on the priority list for housekeeping and would call me once it was done to allow an early check in (great offer!) - So I went for a walk for a coffee (C1 in the area) - then around the sights - until approximately 14:00 - asked for an update and my bag (needed something out of it) - and was advised it wasn't ready yet; and it could be put on the priority list! I advised I was told this, the reception took a moment then had a room for me. Annoying, failure one. The hotel was quiet, tidy, comfortable and in high quality the room perfect, bathroom great, hot water solid pressure and heat, AC/heating in the room; fresh air option (windows), usual amenities - however empty minibar! with a sign that i could only call to the room service but it wasn't 24/7 - lost opportunity there! - issue 2. First evening had a dinner at the resturant on site - 15 of us Bloody Mary's the waitress (American lady, on her birthday was AMAZING; attentive, engaging with the table and kept us all with full drinks and clearing empties etc top tier! The meal however - the steaks, all overcooked from talking to 6 of the table; I ordered the Wagyu Steak (the A5/top tier) expecting high quality preperation for a medium - it came out near well, and definitely wasn't Wagyu - however, the entree (venision pastry dish was top tier; perfectly served) - not enough charaters - TLDR -not ok
