I appreciated the seamless check-in. They text you a code, you enter, pick up your key at the (unmanned) reception desk and just go to your room. Super easy. I had one of the traditional ground-floor room. The bed was super comfortable. For water or tea or coffee, you need to head to the shared kitchen, just a few feet away. In the morning, the nice Argentine couple running the place were very helpful, served a nice little breakfast, and took care of the check in formalities. This was a pleasant, easy place to stay in a great Christchurch location.
