10/10 Excellent
"We booked 3 rooms. All were beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Every member of staff was extremely polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was outstanding with so much choice and all our evening meals in the restaurant, extremely well prepared and tasted delicious. The Kings Arms is well positioned in the centre of Christchurch but with the added bonus of a bus stop directly outside and another a short walk away. On arrival we didn’t have any problem parking in the hotel’s designated bays. Lovely walk across from the hotel to castle ruins, church and harbour. Looking forward to a return visit."
