I was put on the first floor in an "accessible" room. There was a constant rattle and loud noise coming from the wall. When I complained, they said it was some sort of extractor fan thing - it was so loud and made the stay very unenjoyable.

Okay standard hotel. The buffet breakfast is very standard- in fact not worth the price. Shower was broken, and pressure was below average. Room housekeeping was a little disappointing with rooms being serviced at 2:00. Staff at check in were not very helpful and incorrectly charged up and left us with a terrible charge at the end of the stay. We were told we had breakfast included , didn’t eat there every morning but at check out were charged for each days breakfast regardless of we ate or not

Room was spotless and comfortable. Staff were like everyone in New Zealand, accommodating, knowledgeable and polite. The hotel restaurant had a buffet breakfast, but order from the menu. The waffles with caramelized bananas, berry compote and maple syrup was devine.

The room was clean, modern and comfortable. The bathroom was particularly well appointed and looked newly renovated. There were new laundry facilities on our floor. The view from our room was disappointing in that it looked out on the wall of the building next door. The hotel was a short walk to the city core.

Brilliant hotel with lovely reception staff

Lovely new hotel 10 minutes walk from Christchurch centre. Amazing service from the receptionist on arrival and loved the welcome brownie. Room nice and clean and enough space for 2. 1 washing machine and dryer for guest use at $4 a usage which we utilised. Some noise in corridors from other guests in large group. Would stay again & recommend to others.
