Lovely stay in the heart of Christchurch. Would recommend upgrading the wifi as 390 Kbps in 2025 is worse than having no internet

Pros:

Great location we used the Hereford car parking building to park our rental car which was organised through the hotel. We enjoyed their buffet breakfast. We also had dinner their one night the person on duty was very personable and friendly he makes a very good gin and tonic 😁 staff at the hotel were all very friendly and approachable. We were their for 7 nights and will be back next time we are in Christchurch.

Pros:

The hotel is conveniently located very close to bus stop, shopping lots and a restaurant. Whilst the room size is compact, it is good enough for the purpose of sleeping at night. It has a small fridge, but lacking of microwave and freezer. Hot water for shower is instantly available, no need to wait.

Pros:

Sure - i opted for the smallest/cheapest room which was also window-less but my reason for staying was my partner as having an op & i was from out of town. Ticked every box & very good value for money 🙂

Pros:

It was fresh & clean, the bed was comfortable, the room is small but ok for a stop over, tea & coffee & nice smelling soap & shampoo was a nice touch.

The only thing was the air conditioner which was a littld noisy, we couldnt turn it off but J guess thats because theres no windows in the room.

We enjoyed our stay & thank the staff fod their hospitality 🙂
