RECOMMENDED
Pros:

NICE PLACE, BREAKFAST 'CONTINENTAL' ISH BUT VERY STRANGE BREAKFASTING ON SHARED TABLES.
NOT EVERYBODY IS SOCIAL AT 07.30 - A SOMEWHAT FORCED ATMOSPHERE.
EXCELLENT SHOWER AND THE CURRENT TREND OF WALL MOUNTED (LET'S SAVE A PENNY) SOAP DISPENSERS ACTUALLY WORKED, WELL DONE.

Cons:

COLD ROOM, JUST COULDN'T GET IT WARM.
SEE BREAKFAST COMMENT ABOVE.

Classy, safe, great location. Fantastic reading room and gardens - made for many comfortable spots.
Pros:

The classic nature and details were incredible. The staff was very good and made us feel welcomed. The variety of breakfast was interesting to us as were able to try different things each morning. We loved the availability of coffee - whenever you wanted it!

Cons:

There are so many restaurants in Christchurch, we wanted to make sure we hit "the best for us". I always "quiz" the front desk folks, for recommendations or hints. Although the recs were provided, I felt like there was a bit of "convincing enthusiasm" missing. I found out that this is because these folks hadn't had a chance to explore them so much. I recommend that the local restaurants give them an incentive to come so they can pass along the good word to the customers.

Enjoyed the location. Until I didn’t.
Pros:

Location was primo

Cons:

There was a marathon going on in Christchurch the day I was leaving and the hotel was right in the middle of the area blocked for vehicle traffic until 3 PM that afternoon. I had to have an Uber to get me to the airport for my flight early in the afternoon and I was stuck since the Uber could not get to the classic Villa . I felt that Cherie, as the manager should’ve known in advance and been able to tell me where I could go to meet an Uber, but she was clueless . I ended up walking 3 miles in the rain without knowing the city. I probably walked to the wrong way, but a little help from management would’ve been very useful . every guest would’ve been impacted by no traffic coming through.
