Top Christchurch Hotel Reviews

ibis Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were pleasant, rooms were clean and location was great"

Christchurch City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is conveniently located within the city center and made it easy to walk to shops and many great restaurants. The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed at the hotel for a few days at the start of our trip and again on our last few days of our trip. We did purchase the breakfast option and what exactly was included seemed to be staff-dependent. During our first stays, we were not told of any restrictions on the breakfast menu. However, on our second stay, we got conflicting information: some of the mornings, the server pointed out which menu items were excluded from our breakfast options, and on another morning, a different staff was serving us and did not express any menu restrictions. The hotel does not have its own parking garage, but does have an agreement with a public parking garage within a short walk from the hotel; you only get charged a fee per exit which is a great deal, especially if you’re not driving everyday. There are only two public parking slots in front of the hotel so you may have to park around the corner and pay when checking in/out."
