Top Hotels Near Howletts Zoo in Canterbury from NZ$80

"The staff was wonderful. Just one person handling reception, bar, and dining. So way understaffed. Very outdated facility. Bathroom sink didn’t barely drain. Felt as the space wasn’t clean."

"Great hotel in the heart of Canterbury. Had a cot set up for us on arrival. Bed really comfy and shower great. Breakfast was excellent, highlight being the waffle machines. Parking wasn’t an issue for us as we used the park and ride which took 5 minutes and was a 5 minute walk to the hotel so really convenient and only £4 a day vs £25 a night if parking in the city. Staff were all lovely. Loved how they respected history when building the hotel with the ground window in the lobby showing the theatre ruins below. Would definitely stay again on another trip to Canterbury."

"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at The Falstaff Hotel. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained throughout our visit. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of fresh and tasty options each morning. Our favorite breakfast option was the avocado toast with perfectly well-done eggs — absolutely delicious and a great start to the day. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and definitely recommend it to others."

"Great location, beautifully presented and delicious continental breakfast. The staff were very helpful. "

"Amazing location, right in the centre of Canterbury, actually built into the cathedral gate. We were made to feel really welcome by all the staff. Given a choice of rooms and early check-in. Very interesting building with lots of steps and wonky floors, would not recommend if you are infirm. Room had a wonderful view of the cathedral, but was very quiet. Lovely hot and powerful shower. Room and all shared areas were clean and well decorated, carpets clean too. Breakfast was really good, it was continental plus! Good fruit fresh salad, porridge and croissants were amazing. Coffee was strong and fresh, orange juice excellent too, all quality products "
