BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent
"BreakFree On Cashel is a great choice if you’re looking for centrally located accommodation in Christchurch at a very reasonable price. The hotel is right in the heart of the city, with tons of dining and shopping options within easy walking distance. It’s also extremely convenient for public transportation, just a short walk from the central bus hub and tram stops, and only two blocks from the new stadium. I stayed for six nights and found the room comfortable, particularly the wonderful bed and great shower. My room was an internal room with no windows, which was quite small and would likely be a tight fit for two people travelling with luggage. Something to keep in mind when booking. Breakfast was good, although the selection became a little repetitive over six mornings. Laundry facilities are conveniently available on three floors, which is a nice bonus for travellers on longer trips. Overall, a very good value hotel in an excellent location. Comfortable, convenient and affordable. I’d happily stay here again!"
