Pros:

The hotel is in a great location in Central Christchurch. As the city continues to redevelop more and more is within walking distance of the hotel. Great eating and shopping nearby and transport links are just around the corner. The rooms have everything you need in general and are clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The rooms are a bit small but big enough for a short stay

Really great gem so close to the centre of town.
Pros:

Heat a little gem, lovely accomodation, really clean and modern, nice toiletries and tea coffee selections.

Cons:

Parking was a bit of an issue, when I booked I did so because the advert said free on site parking, only to discover that it was very limited and was full. However there is a pay car park ist down the road and because it was a weekend this was only $5 for 12 hours.

Pros:

Fabulous welcome and reception went out of their way to accommodate my stay, which was unexpected due to a flight cancellation. Location is great near the shops and next door to an awesome cafe.

Pros:

Great, central location – super close to the CBD, new stadium and lots of eateries. The room was a good size for two people for our overnight stay, and would probably be fine for a few nights.

Cons:

The room felt a bit stuffy and warm, although we didn't turn on the air conditioning, which may have solved that. It also would've been nice to have a chair or something to sit on in the room other than the bed.

Sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel in der Innenstadt
Pros:

Sehr zentrale Lage und sehr sauber. Das Personal war sehr zu vorkommend und hatte sehr gute Empfehlungen für Restaurants. Zum Rugby Stadion sind es nur wenige Minuten.
