Loved the location. Great basic accommodations. Excellent help from the staff. Literally walked across the road and we were in Hagley Park and close to the botanical gardens within minutes.

We stayed on a Friday night. Bad choice for this location. Boy racers hooned up and down the street most of the night. Noisy drunken people in the park. Noisy drunken tenants next door. The only reason I am not giving a 1 star is because of the service and the quality of the room.

Great value for family stay near downtown area.
Location was great for Christchurch as well as the price for fitting family of five. Still, overall it was kind of tight space with bed in the main living room, plus relatively small bathroom. But location made it perfect for a one night stay.

We had a late book in and the correspondence from the venue was excellent so we could enter the premises ourselves. Next day we were offered and took the free courtesy bus to the station to meet the transalpine scenic train.

The property was not unique, cracked vanity, cracked bathroom window, but it was clean and convenient.My biggest issue was inability to get wifi, which impacted my stay to the extent that I will not consider future stays at Argyle on the Park.

Dear Neil, Thank you for your review. Things are getting broken from time to time and sometimes it is getting longer to fix them. The window cracked was already scheduled to be replaced. As for WIFI you should have asked us and we would help you. Sometimes it is just the matter of rebooting the router. It is really easy to ask, instead of being not happy and upset. We work hard here to make your stay comfortable but we cannot help you if you don't tell us that there is a problem.

Dear Aziz, Thank you for your review. Sorry you feel that way but I must say that when you stay in any accommodation you have to follow certain rules. When you don't then expect to be asked to do that. If that is not friendly then what can I say. We work hard to get our rooms clean and comfortable for our guests. You should have noticed that when you checked in. That is also reflected in many other reviews. All we ask in return to have at least some respect for our hard work here.

Superb motel right next to the botanical gardens
We were met at the train station by the owner and driven straight to the motel where we were met with a friendly greeting and advice about trips and food in the area. Our room was very spacious and had every conceivable gadget you could want - especially multiple overseas electrical sockets and Netflix. A great place to stay. I’d score six out of five if allowed.

Very good motel close to airport
Late check-in handle through lockbox. After 8 pm no hotel shuttle so took metro bus #3 from airport for $2.10. Get off at third stop and then walk 5 minutes to hotel. Room was large, comfortable and clean. Close to restaurants. Had baggage storage and transportation to airport on request.

We stayed for a night prior to flying out of Christchurch - we were offered a free lift from the train station and then the manager Lena kindly arranged for a taxi to take us to the airport early the following day. The room was well equipped and had everything we needed and had we been staying in Christchurch it was a short walk across Hadley Park to the lovely Botanical Gardens and a further 10 minute walk to the city centre. I would definitely stay here again.
