It's definitely a five star top of the range hostel/hotel. Everything is new, and spotlessly clean. The staff are excellent, and the location is bang in the middle of town next to all the transport links. I can't fault it, it's truly the best I've ever been in. Davy

Following a delayed flight and missing the office to pick up our campervan we had to stay over at this hotel. Upon finding out about our bad day the hotel upgraded our room and gave a couple of free drinks voucher the reception staff were fantastic. The hotel was modern, tastefully decorated and the room did not disappoint either it was very nice indeed. The bar staff were also very attentive and welcoming also. All in all one of the best hotels we have stayed in and we have stayed at many, top marks!!

We have stayed at several motels in the area and this is the first one that we'd consider using again. The manager and his wife were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were in Unit 12....away from Papanui Rdand and very quiet. Everything from decor to furnishings were pleasant. The bed was terrific and we loved that the sheets felt like cotton and not synthetic feeling. Super location for us. There is a nice Cafe within a 2 minute walk that opens at 7am.

    We’ve stayed here before and loved the price for a private room and location! It’s a great affordable place to stay when visiting Christchurch! We had an early flight on departure day so having the car park access near by was super handy for us and cheap rates for that parking or you could park further away on the street for free. The church pub and Mexican restaurant down the street is also handy for a drink or late night eat! The shared bathrooms were always clean and showers got nice and hot!

    Great location to the airport, only a 10 minute walk which is very hand for those early morning/late night flights. The pods were very clean and comfortable, and the shared bathroom was also spotless. Staff always friendly at reception too. This is my second stay here and I would stay again.

    Location is everything. I normally fly to Christchurch, then overnight before getting the intercity bus home the next morning. Christchurch City Hotel is the perfect location. It’s only a 7 minute walk to the bus station. The rooms are a good size, not the teensy tiny rooms of some other budget hotels nearby. Yes you can get cheaper rooms nearby, but this is the perfect stopover.

    We had a double bed room near the top of the building, so I can only say about that. Which was a very nice apartment, kitchen and living area all very clean and comfortable as were the beds. Nice views from a higher up room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was close enough to the centre with the shops and restaurants that it was an enjoyable walk. They offer a cheaper shuttle bus service to the airport which is helpful if travelling on a budget. But they were also able to order us a taxi. Hotel great.
