Great staff, great service, quick and easy check in, even valet parking was sorted quickly. Bar staff was friendly great service, even restaurant staff for buffet was excellent. Im all about good service and my experience was 5 star, so well done team. Room was huge and the bed was super comfortable. I would stay here again and would highly recommend. Oh and the best location, bang in the middle of the city, close to everything. Thank you, Mealofa

The gym is in need of a re-vamp. Our bathroom had a giant hairball stuck to the doorstop when we arrived. The beds had a dip in the centre.
It’s in a fabulous location but having stayed in several others at a similar price point, I’d pick the others.

We stayed at the classic family suite, great for 4 people - each kid had their own bed, and the parents are in the large separate bedroom.

The location is perfect, with a short walking distance to popular places, such as Riverside Market, and not a long walk to the Botanic Garden.

The staff were very friendly and helpful - great experience.

Great location

Centrally located next to the Cathedral, the hotel is lovely. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I had to borrow a convertor for the electric plug as I forgot mine. The hotel was walking distance to lovely restaurants and shops. We are at the hotel the first night, the food was very good, the drinks were very good from the bar. It's a short walk to the trolley station if you want to get an overview of the area. Don't miss the Botanical Park or the Art Museum, both free and.lovely!!

The room felt luxurious and was very clean. The check in process was easy and the staff were incredibly helpful with luggage and with finding ice. The valet parking was a bit expensive ($35NZD) and self parking is not an option. Overall the hotel is worth the price.

Space enough for 5

A great location with everything we needed in walking distance. Very comfortable beds.
As a family of 5 we did have to call reception each day for towels as not enough were left. But they arrived very quickly when we did.
Lovely staff. Would happily stay again.

An old hotel that had underwent upgrades and become a modern establishment but maintaining old school flavours. Large rooms and bathroom with jacuzzi. Central in location and walkable to all the attractions. Excellent hotel to stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were great. We booked last minute. We prefer smaller lodgings though. It is a large hotel, very much a hotel and not a boutique experience.

We spent our first night there with a AATKings travel group. The 2nd night was after the tour ended on our own. ALL interactions with many staff were AWESOME. Each individual was professional, proficient polite effective very personable and extremely helpful. Most had a very good sense of humor and were extremely good natured. I worked in the computer field for 40 years and it may not seem like it, but we interacted with our ‘users’ and customer service was very important to us. As a data center manager I focused on this aspect… therefore I recognize when it’s lacking and also when it’s exceptional.

The location is ideal and the staff could not have been any more helpful. The restaurant has a great selection of choices and the breakfast buffet was enjoyed by my husband while I had a huge custom made Omelette.I am here 3 days to speak at the New Zealand Lavender conference and will come back to the Distinction next January when I return to NZ

Average hotel, certainly not 4 star. Front desk couldn't be bothered with answering the simplest of questions.

Great hotel, reasonably priced

The corner room was awesome, too bad it looked over the construction site that is in process of rebuilding the Christchurch church. Bathroom had space for toilet bags. Small frig was a nice touch. Microwave would have been helpful. Hotel close to food, museums, etc

Rather austere facility. Room was unexceptional but bedding was comfortable. In-hotel restaurant was forgetable. Close to Tramway Cable Car Diner. Unfortunately, at time of stay Christchurch was under renovation (I'll swear it was the whole town!) So experience was tainted.

Fine stay

We had a nice suite that was fine, if not a tiny bit tired looking. I’m disappointed that others in my group had breakfast included in their booking but because I used Hoteks.com that wasn’t an option, as the buffet breakfast was $35 a person (and not worth that).

The hotel was close to many restaurants, which was a bonus. But most of them seem to have very limited hours. Some closed at 6:00 or 6:30 p.m. and others not open for breakfast.

Great hotel and service in Christchurch

Nice new property in a great location where we could walk to all the downtown sights and restaurants. The staff was very courteous and the manager on duty happily arranged for a cab to transport us to the train station. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would highly recommend it for a downtown Christchurch visit.
