Great hotel in central Christchurch. Everything was in easy walking distance, hotel itself was well presented and comfortable and staff were really helpful and friendly.
Our room was very comfortable and the entire hotel was very clean. The building itself is very modern and looks almost brand new. We really liked the attached restaurant/bar as well. We received excellent and helpful service at both the hotel and the restaurant. For us, the location worked very well and allowed us to walk to many areas for shopping, dining and even the Botanical Gardens. The city itself is beautiful with many artistic features and murals, stunning architecture and beautiful gardens.
Great stay. Good location (within an easy 10-15 min walk to the city but far enough away to have nearby free street parking) and exceedingly helpful staff on the front desk. Well designed rooms and comfortable bed. Would recommend.
Was in a great location, a comfortable bed and nice big window to enjoy the view.
Nice bar downstairs.
Have never had to pay for parking before - that was a surprise.
We stayed for just one night and really enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic — an easy walk to lots of restaurants, shops, and the casino, which made it really convenient for exploring without having to drive.
The hotel parking lot is VERY small and there wasn’t a space available when we arrived, but that actually worked out in our favor. Street parking is free and we lucked out with a spot right in front of the hotel.
Our room was comfortable and well appointed, with a fridge, coffee maker, and even welcome brownies — always a nice touch!
We also ate at the hotel restaurant, Hoi Polloi, and it was delicious. They had a great variety of food and some fantastic specials depending on the night. We happened to be there on a Tuesday when it was buy one entrée, get one free, which was an unexpected bonus!
Great location, comfortable room, good food, and a very easy one-night stay. We’d definitely stay here again.
The most remarkable fact at Carnmore was the staff, both at reception and at the restaurant, the only ones I was exposed to.
They would bend backwards to help with any little question or problem. They remembered who I was from a previous stay, remembered my favourite drink a the restaurant, and the food and service were like no other, in a class of their own.
I am definitely planning to go back, even though the cost is slightly higher than other hotels... but worth every cent of it.
The Carnmore was the cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed in. It was cleaned every day and when we returned each day, you would think you were walking into a brand new apartment. Comfortable and convenient. Restaurant was great. Staff were fantastic.
Lovely hotel - everything about it was great!! The room and bathroom were spacious, modern and clean. The best part was the super friendly and helpful staff - both in reception and in the restaurant. The food was awesome too. Will definitely be back!!
