Happy, memorable holiday with family in Riccarton & staying at the Golden Hotel was the added bonus.
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay at the Golden Hotel very much. So roomy & clean with plenty of bench space & facilities. Good Freeview television reception, lovely warm heat pump in the room & an ever so comfortable bed. AND the Rain Shower was just fabulous! Only a few minutes' walk to the Riccarton Westfield Mall, plus a bus stop at the front door & only a short ride to Christchurch City. If I ever have to come down to Riccarton again I will definitely be staying there. Thank you and Congratulations on operating such a welcoming hotel.

Cons:

The only critique I have is that the light in the rangehood wasn't working and I had trouble seeing what I was doing in the kitchenette. A friendly staff member told me that they didn't have a spare in the supply cupboard.
