Jason
Great location and very tidy hotel
simon
Very convenient for the city and new stadium
Michael
The hotel is in a great location, the rooms have everything you need and the breakfast is delicious. The hotel is starting to look a bit dated
Anthony Paul
Effortless checkin. Clean modern room. Very quiet. Terrific central location. Recommended.
Yujie
It's a great location. Groceries and shopping are nearby, walking distance. Also close to intercity bus stop and 1 bus to airport.
Daniel
Really nice venue, close to the city
Faine
Check in was problematic as staff confused about Expedia booking - parking was a bit pricey and far away.
Khalid
I stayed in this hotel some years ago and I was impressed by how well maintained and clean it is. For some reason, I had house keeping coming to the room waking me up at 8.30 am then 9.40 am (checkout time is 11 am) even though I had the do not disturb light on. Apart from that, all else was great.
J Carlos
Was great stay at this hotel. Great amenities, a nice view and close to Downtown.
I wish the Terrace was available for hotel guests. Pity that i couldnt appreciate the view properly. The terrace wasn't accessible, as it is owned by a restaurant, not part of the hotel?

Bradley
The standout was the woman working at reception when we arrived. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel looked after from the moment we walked in. She’s a real credit to the company and the kind of staff member who leaves a lasting impression. Small interactions like that really make a stay memorable. Thank you again!
Angela
Great location and great views of the stadium from my room. Bed was comfortable, large TV, large shower. But the room was so cold, the duvet super thin, and the heat pump didn't seem to make a difference. No spare blanket in the cupboards. I was having a night in and looked forward to watching sport + a movie but didn't check - no Sky Sports or Movies.
Elgan
Great location, close to amenities and friendly helpful staff
Jasmin
Nice location
Clement
Breakfast was in an adjoining Cafe with excellent staff
Lauren
Okay (weird design verging more tacky than trendy) and overpriced for what it is! Loud thumping/music kept us up until 2-3am. Would not recommend.
Lee
Convenient location. Friendly staff.
Geoffrey
Fantastic place to stay with it being centrally located to Christchurch and a short walk to the new Stadium that will be opening very soon. The staff at check in and check out were wonderful. The cook to order breakfast was fresh and tasty every day of our stay.We would highly recommend this accommodation for your stay in Christchurch
Frederick
Overpriced. Receptionist insisted prepaid room did not include breakfast when it did. Elevator didn't work on check out day
Nicholas
A very nice hotel
Bobby
Rooms are clean but there is a bit lacking in amenities and staffing. Staff has strict hours and are usually not there when needed. They do call back so that’s a plus. I tend to like keeping the tv running as a back ground but they have almost nothing available to watch aside from local channels.
Heather
Good location.
Rosa
The room was good, but the reception wasn't. I arrived at 2 o'clock, the check-in time, and was informed by the receptionist that my room wasn't ready. \"You are welcome to sit there and wait until it's ready.\"
'Why is it not ready? '
\"Because they are still cleaning it.\"
\"Why wasn't it cleaned on time?\"
\"Oh, there is a staff shortage. There is a bug going around.'
I'm paying $500 a night for this room. I expect better than this.\"
No response, no apology. She didn't care.
After about 20 minutes, I was told my room was ready.
I had never arrived at a good hotel and was told my room wasn't ready. And I don't usually book a $ 500-a-night hotel! I paid about half that price for the previous hotel, and it was very good.
Very disappointed with The Muse!!
Although I must say the room was very good. Lovely views!!
I also acknowledged the next two receptionists, who, when I told them what had happened, did their best to make up for the first experience.

I also acknowledged the next two receptionists, who, when I told them what had happened, did their best to make up for the first experience.

Super nice and comfortable

Went to check in to be told that the hotel required $150 holding fee. There was no mini bar in the hotel room, so it wasn’t required for this reason.
After paying £200 for one night. The room certainly worth this.

Great on all counts. Friendly staff. Location is perfect.

Very nice, small room with great bathroom. Everything was spotless. The hotel is located right adjacent to nice areas for nightlife and food, and the roof bar attracts locals every evening.
Stephanie
Love the dainty breakfast in the morning, hotel staff are always friendly and able to remember me and make pleasant conversation

Very elegant and modern. Clean, quiet and centrally located.

Good stay apart from a very inconvenient false fire alarm at 5am which didn't even result in an apology on check out.
Peter
Brilliant location in the heart of the city
The staff were friend and great pointing out the bars and restaurants in the area

Was noisy up to midnight due to base music from local night life. The hotel is trying to get the noise reduced. Couple of things requiring repair in the room. Towel rail loose. Slow close on the toilet seat not functioning. Suggest a toilet brush so guests can do a quick clean if it is soiled. Also three ply toilet paper to match the standard they are trying to portray. One ply loo paper is public toilet standards. Need to factor in the cost of car parking it using your own vehicle. Good location if you want to be right in the city centre. Room was comfortable.
Susan
Clean rooms, near restaurants and shopping.

Excellent value
Angela
Loved staying at this boutique hotel. Room was perfect and what I was expecting from the photos. Was immaculate and clean. Loved the plush velvet decor and colour scheme - felt posh and elegant but comfy. Easy check-in and checkout and cafe downstairs was fantastic - lovely coffee and food and didn’t have to wait long. Really enjoyed dinner at the Pink Lady restaurant on the top floor - had great service and food was delicious, would definitely go back. Only issue I had was the water temperature of the shower - I wanted it hotter and it wouldn’t go any higher. Maybe it’s a safety thing but if you like your showers hot, this is not the hotel for you. Otherwise amazing stay in the heart of the city.
Rafael
Nice comfortable stay.
Allan
Everything was good
Aria
The hotel lives up to its name, as the building is a very artsy and unique presentation. The room was clean and comfortable with many facilities available. The elevator is old and needs a face lift - lol. I found it was a little inconvenient having to wait around for the poor thing to eventually reach you. Otherwise great staff and atmosphere! Definitely would recommend!
Bethanne
Always excellent service, I keep returning. Clean rooms with great amenities. Really

Spacious room and bathroom, vintage building with wonderful amenities.
Marg
Really enjoyed staying there. Great for a stop over in central Chch. Very clean, well organised, friendly helpful staff - felt very safe. Car parking was abit of an inconvenience but overall would stay there again.
Sarah
The room was artistic and comfortable. Very clean, perfect space and amenities for a solo weekend in Christchurch. I arrived after midnight and communication with staff prior to and at the time of check out was easy. Right at the start of High Street, the mall was a few steps away, as was the options of food and supermarket. This was the perfect location to walk around town. It was awesome that they had a cafe attached, and the rooftop bar was nice to spend time in the afternoon. Would definitely stay here again.
Angie Carol
Good stay. Nice, unique hotel. Cafe staff great... Check in experience ok.
Brennan
Overall great and comfortable. Recommend dusting in the room!
Ann Marie
Great location for bus station, sights around the city and cafes.
Elizabeth
The hotel is conveniently located for visitors to the city. Close to the most famous tourist attractions and easy access. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was under renovation, but it didn’t affect our overall experience. I highly recommend it!
Amanda
Friendly staff. Room was well appointed and presented. Much appreciated the daily room servicing. The breakfast provided from the dainty cafe downstairs was super delish. Overall a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.
Michael

Stayed for 3 nights Feb 2025. Hotel is in a good location for access to the centre but there is a lot of building work nearby including the new stadium. Drop off parking bays are available for 5 mins but no hotel parking. There are a lot of paid for parking options nearby. Breakfast is provided as a credit for the cafe within the hotel but we found this was a good option.
Would like to thank Layla on reception who helped with baggage and was always willing to answer our questions. Plus she has a lovely smile!

Convenient and walkable

We enjoyed the location here and the staff were friendly. However we stayed a Saturday night and the music from the rooftop bar was pretty loud in our room until after 1am. We were on the 5th floor. Sunday night didnt hear anything so pick your days to stay!
LORRAINE

Wonderful spot in Christchurch!
I had an easy checkin and such a wonderful view from my room! Comfortable stay and easy to get anywhere in the area
Jessica
Beautiful design, friendly staff. clean, wakable
bernard
Our room looked onto a internal stairwell and was small and dark. The decor was lovely but the room didn't have much aspect. Ask for a street view room. It was Saturday night and the Roof Top Bar pumped out music to 1.30am but the noise wasn't unbearable more of an nuisance.
Mike
The restaurant and bar on the top floors were noisy, but we were on the 6th floor.
Judith
I had a very enjoyable one night stay there, it was convenient as I had no car, safe as I’m a senior and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Hannah
Room was very tidy and good central location.
Robert

Ok for a quick overnight pittstop
The Muse Hotel is okay. Just…. ok. Fitout is cheap, trying to look funky and designer and luxe but sadly failing. One of those places that looks fairly swish when it’s brand spanking new but really doesn’t last. Think: when Kmart rips off a designer product - it looks the part, sort of, but isn’t really. Or your mate who brings back ‘Gucci’ from Thailand - they think it makes them look like a serious contender, but those in the know can spot it from a mile off.
Front desk staff lacklustre at best.
The huge positive however is its great central location which is super handy. Also bumped into cleaning staff in the elevator twice in my short stay and they were super polite and friendly.
In short: for a quick overnight stay where you’re out more than you’re in, it’s fine - and you could definitely do a lot worse. Not bad, but not great - just… ok. But if you’re looking for somewhere special or with staff who truly love the industry, it’s not the place.
Bit of a shame really as I can see where they were trying to go… but they just haven’t executed it well enough.

Great hotel in city close to shops and attractions. Will stay again.
Kaleb
They were very nice
Anouk
A nice clean hotel, beautifully decorated room with plenty of electrical outlets, soft lighting options. We really enjoyed our stay at Muse. The location is super convenient as it is 2 minutes away from the bus station and a big supermarket. The staff was friendly and professionnal. We’d come back, if in Christchurch again.
Scott
Nice place to stay, it used to be nice though. Over the last few years it has become increasingly more broken feeling with unpainted areas in the room corners, broken curtain rails, cement dust piles, broken runner for the bathroom door, things like that. There was also no included parking option in December 2024 despite the website and Expedia saying there was.
Its a good enough place though, walking distance to pretty much everything in the CBD, small fridge in the room, and comfy bed, but overpriced, because of the things above, despite the attraction of the art in the hallways.

We were very happy with our stay.

Property, room and location were great. The loud music until 1am was not. The whole room was shaking and I wasn’t unable to sleep.
I think this is Fridays and Saturdays nights only

Loved out city stay at The Muse - lovely corner room on a high floor with views over the new stadium. Charles on front desk was an outstanding host. The Pink Lady was average staff not very welcoming which we have encountered before - all in all a lovely option if you like quirky boutique hotels which we do.
Tanja
Very convenient and nice. Thanks
Nancy
The room was comfortable and well appointed, the ongoing construction right beside the hotel was a significat distraction, it affected the view from our window.
On the positive note, location is excellent with easy access to the nearby malls.
If the construction is not a concern this hotel is a good option.

I booked a twin room and was given a king, it was late and we were tired so it wasn't worth going back down to see if we could move rooms so we made it work. The room was well appointed and clean. We were directly under the bar/restaurant and it was quiet in our room which was a blessing, though the construction next door started up about 0630.
Angela
Industrial glamour style. Clean and tidy. Quiet. Great bar/ restaurant and cafe.
