The location was near enough to walk to the good shopping areas of Merivale. Its location on Papanui Rd made easy car access to pretty much anywhere in Christchurch. The people at reception were lovely and welcoming. The room had a lovely charm- old world and modern mixed nicely together. Our room was spacious, with a sweet lttle lounge/kitchen area separate to the bedroom. The bed was lovely- comfortable and with lovely bedlinen. The bathroom was roomy and adequate equipped. The shower had a nice quality of shampoo/comditioner. Parking was easy-right outside our ground level room. The wifi was good and Real milk provided on arrival😊(Its the little things that matter!)

    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.
