    The perfect place for me. Free Wi-Fi, parking, airport shuttle, and a jacuzzi. The staff's sweet attitude towards my old parents on our first stay is unforgettable. Can't wait to come back for the weekend.

    I had an amazing time at this place! The owners were so lovely, and the atmosphere was absolutely mind-blowing! The location was super convenient, with local shops nearby. The facilities were top-notch and the place was warm and comfortable. Whether you're traveling alone or with family or friends, there are plenty of options to suit everyone. I will definitely be staying here again!

    I felt myself at home...

    You must know before going to Christchurch: the earthquake severally destroied Christchurch downtown... That is actually closed... So the hostel is located about 30 min walking from cbd... Aos brasileiros: aconselho nao passar por Christchurch se possivel... todos os pontos turisticos da cidade ou estao fechados ou quase que abandonados...

    I had a fantastic stay at this luxurious hotel. The beds were big and comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The kitchen was well equipped with everything I needed, making it easy to prepare meals. I also loved the beautiful lawn area outside, perfect for relaxing in the sun with a book. The bonus was the jacuzzi and sauna, which provided ultimate relaxation after a long day. The staff were incredibly attentive and caring, making me feel right at home. They were always available to assist and had excellent knowledge of the area.

    I highly recommend this hotel to family and friends due to its fantastic location within walking distance of the city centre. The service was top-notch, and the room amenities were excellent.

    The staff was helpful in attending to my problem of not being able to sleep in a room with many drinking men with strong drinking breath.

    The price quoted for the airport transfer was inaccurate. Website said it was 15 dollars but shuttle driver demanded 20 dollars

    We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hostel. From the cleanliness to the great facilities, we found that everything was well taken care of. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to public transportation and close proximity to the city center. The staff was amazing, providing excellent service and making us feel at home.

    All was perfect.

    This particular week Ch Ch accom was full, so I needed to "back packer" it,I am a business director and found the change of accom "style" to be very enjoyable with meeting lots of people and some are now freinds..being the highlight

    I feel at $110 per night I was paying a top rate, perhaps a towel in the room would have been nice. Perhaps check in staff recognize biz travelers and Waiver the key deposit thing.. Just a pain.. Perhaps the kitchen equipment could get some investment. Stove Hot rings, pots ,fry pans etc could be replaced. ( some are passed there use by date)

    The staff was friendly and accommodating. The place was kept clean and comfortable enough for our weekend stay. The whirlpool outside was definitely the highlight of our experience, especially at night. The location was convenient and had off-street parking.

    The noise level from other guests in nearby rooms was unfortunate, and even after changing rooms, we still experienced some disturbance. , we couldn't control the behavior of other guests who took things that weren't theirs, and the staff we approached about it did not follow up with us.
