Airport Gateway Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice hotel located about a seven minute drive to the airport. They offer 24 hour shuttle to the airport for free. Rooms are very large. A big sitting area with table and chairs. A fully equipped kitchen. A heat lamp in the bathroom. Toiletries are provided. There are a number of restaurants within about a five minute walk. And the Local bus stop is nearby. About a 15 minute drive into the centre of Christchurch."

Christchurch City Hotel

8/10 Good

"Thank you to the entire team at Christchurch City Hotel and helping to make our first trip to Christchurch a lovely stay. The room was lovely with an amazing view of the square, streets and surrounding buildings. The reception staff were wonderful and so friendly. The house keeping staff were lovely, super polite and kept our room at a high standard. We appreciated the brief chats at the front desk and considered you are all ambassadors to your hotel and indeed the Christchurch CBD. Everything you needed was a short walking distance. My husband spent a fair amount of time in the room and said he wished there was a comfortable lounge seat to relax in. The seating wasn’t comfy and the only alternative was the bed which wasn’t comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. The only grumble we had was our experience in the bar on our first night. The Asian barman was rude and really pretentious. My husband informed him we weren’t dining and he was handed a food menu with the drinks menu’s. My husband politely repeated we weren’t dining and the barman retorted “I know” and took the menu back. When we ordered drinks he brought them back and said “I hope I got that right” and my husband replied “so do I”. It was an uncomfortable exchange and I was super proud that my husband maintained his composure because I can assure you he was fuming. We left after finishing our drink. Not a great start to our stay but thankfully the rest of the staff were amazing. Thank you again guys."

Southwark Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful stay starting with the front desk staff who were friendly and efficient. Our room was very spacious with two king beds a small dining table and plenty of room to move around. I would suggest booking a parking space when you book your room. I highly recommend it as a place to stay!"
