9.2/10 Wonderful! (754 reviews)
Excellent location, room was comfortable, and staff made it easy. Only feedback was that the ironing board was weirdly very dirty and there were no plates or cutlery that we could find, just a mug and teaspoon. If you are going to an event at the Chch town hall this is the perfect location, a very short walk.

Fantastic place to stay.
"What a wonderful place to stay. From the moment we arrived we found ourselves wishing we had been there before, it was even lightly snowing. Easy check in, the room was warm with the gas fire lit, and the private spa outside was hot, the huge bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was huge with ..."
