Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently close to the town center and the park in the heart of Christchurch. The rooms are bright, fitted out with new décor, and feature cozy beds. The service was pleasant overall, although there were some instances of rudeness and aggressiveness. The location offers easy access to Christchurch city, but dining options are limited after 5 pm. The dining area provides adequate choices but could benefit from more variety. Additional details include free parking and good shower pressure.
The hotel was comfortable and clean, but lacked certain amenities like net curtains. The hot water was not available for the shower on the last day, and there were issues with the jug not switching off. Additionally, there was a noisy guest party until the early hours with no intervention from the hotel, and housekeeping was subpar. No compensation was offered for these inconveniences, and an extra pillow would have been appreciated.
The hotel offers a comfortable level of stay with lovely rooms and great views, although lacking air conditioning or a fan. The service was attentive, even under pressure from another group, but could improve in terms of post-working hours behavior. The location is excellent, just a short walk to Riccarton shops and the Westfield Mall. The dining experience is convenient for those catching the railway station but lacking consistency in availability. Overall, a satisfactory stay with some areas for enhancement.
