Pros:

bien situé, calme, à distance à pied du centre ville de Christchurch (40 mn de marche), ou plus rapidement en bus de ville. La chambre est grande et confortable. L'équipement, avec petut réfrigératueur et bouilloire, est très pratique.

won’t be back- nothing to do with the place itself
Cons:

we stayed once and it was good, had booked for a second time and needed to cancel 6days in advance. although the free cancellation deadline had passed, booking asked the owner on our behalf to waive the cancellation fee (the amount was the full booking). we messaged and called the property but they declined to answer and charged us the full amount. they offered a discount on our next stay but we won’t be staying there again. we would have appreciated to be able to find a solution with them directly

Cons:

Ringing bell x3 at reception when we arrived and seeing that the man that eventually came had been sitting in his car in the carpark?? Room was lovely but I needed to book a ground floor room which I forgot to do so room was on 3rd level with no lift. Room was lovely, clean and modernised.
