Cheap as for 1 night.
Pros:

Easy to check in, nice and hidden off the main street without excessive noises. Nice and easy access for what we needed it for.

Cons:

No Hot Chocolate. It was like the cleaner hadn't fully cleaned, missing pillowcases, lack of face cloths, no tea towel or cleaning cloth/brush, grime on doors and the shower, also the toilet bowl had hairs under the seat. No car parks available also.

Our go-to hotel in Christchurch
Pros:

Have stayed at Grand Riccarton Hotel more than 10 times now, and it has consistently been our go-to choice whenever we are in Christchurch. As a repeat guest, I really appreciate the comfortable rooms, convenient location, and friendly service. The consistency is what keeps bringing us back. I know we'll have a pleasant and hassle-free stay every time.

After so many visits, it genuinely feels familiar and welcoming. Highly recommended, especially if you’re looking for a reliable place to stay in Christchurch. Rubal, the Hotel Manager is 100/10. =)

Nice simple accommodation in a handy location with modern bathroom.
Pros:

The room was quite small, but perfectly suitable for a short stay. The room was clean and tidy with good basic facilities, like a big screen TV, heat pump, and fitted out with a modern bathroom and excellent shower.
