Hotel right at the airport - very convenient for early morning flights. Nice modern hotel. Just what you expect from a Novotel. Staff were really helpful.

With an airport hotel there is an expectation that they will be functional but have no character this hotel is an exception. We were very pleasantly surprised to find how good this hotel was. The rooms were nice and spacious with some nice little touches. The restaurant and bar area were nice and lively, might have had something to do with it being St Patrick's day as they had a live singer/guitar player. We had lunch and dinner there which was excellent, although the continental breakfast did...

Wigram is a lovely heritage building but the rooms are a mixture of modern and heritage. The room was cosy and we had a lovely comfortable bed and the temperature was just right in the rooms. The staff were amazing and when we were delayed on our travels they took the initiative to try and contact us through expedia to make sure we were okay. We hope we will get the chance to stay there again for more nights as it is only 15 minutes from the centre of Christchurch, airport, antartic centre and...

What a lovely hotel. Very close to Christchurch Airport and walkable to departures. Lovely clean and smart hotel. Large and comfortable rooms. Lovely beds. Nice restaurant with good food. Not to mention the brilliant robot service!! Love that!! And finally a special thank you to Rinny who helped us in our hour of need sorting out the car rental return to Scotties as they had closed early, not told us and left us in the lurch. Rinny was so helpful. Thank you.

We arrived at the hotel at about 10:15 to drop off our cases but we were able to check-in and were given our room keys - we had an amazing Junior Suite which was spotlessly clean, good selection of toiletries and tea/coffee - breakfast the next morning (payable as not included) was a very good selection of continental breakfast and full hot breakfast

We had left something in our room and were contacted very quickly so we had time to retrieve it before going to the airport which was excellent service.
Very convenient position.
Liked the iron and ironing board in the room.

Fantastic motel. From the minute I drove into their car park the manager came out and knew my name! Wow. Rooms are generously sized, sound proof, spotlessly clean, has all I needed for a one night stay. Highly recommended.
I even recommended it to a friend who needs a room tonight as was that good. Handy to the Highway for heading North or South.
