Great place to stay
Pros:

Central, easy parking, good sized room, great bathroom. Room had separate room for the second bed. Warm.

Cons:

Beds were ok but not madly comfy.
Bedside lamp in the inside room didn’t work so it was either very very bright with room lights on or completely dark.

Great hotel gem in Christchurch Central
Pros:

Great little hotel in the heart of Christchurch. Spotless, comfortable and modern. Rooms and bathrooms are updated. Very affordable price for the quality of this hotel. Parking at the back and does have lift access. Has a cafe that was open in the morning. We loved our night here. Would be our go-to again if we are ever in Christchurch again. Thank you!

Cons:

Nothing!
