"The location of this place was great, and the staff were friendly. However the kitchen was dirty and had very few usable utensils or tools, the locks on the bathrooms didn't work, some of the lights wouldn't turn on, and all of the surfaces in our room were slightly sticky. Also, although I realise this isn't something the management have any control over, my children were exposed to language that I was extremely uncomfortable with from other guests."

Sudima Christchurch City

Sudima Christchurch City

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful and comfortable stay in Sudima Christchurch City Hotel. The neighbourhood is quiet and there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making it easy for us to move around as we don't drive. It is walkable to the bus interchange and the shopping areas and eateries. Kudos to the reception team for going out of their way to locate the penguin plushy that was mistakenly taken by the housekeeping team. Thank you Sudam, Suzy and Sam for keeping me updated even after we left the hotel and courier the found penguin to our next hotel in Queenstown. Exceptional service and we will be definitely stay at Sudima again if we return to Christchurch for vaxation."
