Anthony
Clean rooms and good night meals
Kini
I enjoyed my night at the hotel, staying with a group for our reunion. I was a little disappointed to get a room with a disabled shower, as I usually request NOT to have that (& must have forgotten this time). It was very slippery on the tiles & no mat/grab bar, although the underfloor heating was good. I realise they have tried to retain the character of the place, and all the rooms are modern/renovated. Could do with the same upgrade in lobby toilets, as they were definitely from another era. We had delicious meals and a hearty breakfast in the bar this morning too.
Conor
Great stay
Rebecca
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 near the air museum.
Glenys
very nice, spacious room and bathroom with a full size bath

Old building with lots of history. Rooms are refurbished. Water pressure was a bit on the lower side. Otherwise a good stay!

Nice, nostalgic property, The art deco style and NZ Air Force memorabilia was a very nice feature.

Historic building with the outside looking tired. Water pressure of showers is low. Walk in showers and tile heating a novelty for us. Staff very nice and accommodating. Will stay again.

Arrived 8:50 pm and left really early in the morning. Reception closes at 8:00~8:30 pm. So could not see any staff. Had to leave the key in a box. Parking was on the driveway in open space. Nothing great but nothing to complain about. The building is old but the renovation inside was good. One thing I was annoyed about was the lack of a desk or proper table where I could do some work with my laption. There was a small round shaped table which was too small.
Barbara
Nice room. Old Air Force building. Dining not so remarkable.

Janet
A beautiful room with a nice comfortable bed and a spacious, well-appointed bathroom. We enjoyed our stay. The areas where I have given less stars were because there was no one at reception when we arrived and I had to go and find someone to check in, and because I was concerned about the condition of the windows - there is mould around the frames and on the upper windows and they need a good clean. Our room was on the south side so I understand why this is an issue, but it just needs a bit more care.
Christine
Room was much smaller than anticipated. Lots of 'modern' controls for heating/cooling etc - but no actual instructions on how to use them...not all of us are computer savvy. Breakfasts - not too bad - the one evening meal we had - the vegetables were basically raw and lukewarm - the chicken roulade was dry, overcooked & not very tasty. (And I was a chef in my younger days!) The property overall - could have been a completely different place from the 'appearance' on the website!

Stay in Wigram Hotel
Hotel was a previous Air force officers club and is furbished to a very high standard. Bathroom huge and included a bath as well as shower. Breakfast included which was a fixed menu and was very good. Only one free drink with breakfast which was a bit odd but freshly made . Parking not a problem but hotel a fair way out of main town, not walkable, so Uber used in daytime and own car used at night when parking in town free. Nowhere to walk local to hotel nor eating places. so had to drive into Christchurch. This was the only issue with what was a very nice hotel
Peter
Was a nice hotel where I wished I had more time to enjoy. It was off the beaten path. The Owner’s were superb. Fun if you want a quiet place in a vintage setting. Price point was above average.
Overall, I liked it and would recommend.

Whilst this was an older property the rooms were comfortable and spacious. We were given a family room on the ground floor which was very spacious. Staff were helpful and pleasant.

I had stayed in the hotel when an officer in the Air Force Cadets and it was Wigram's Officers Mess. A great nostalgic stay. Everything i remember but better

1920s Fabulous Building with new lease of life
Always wanted to try this accomodation. The rooms have been done up beautifully with fabulous bathroom. Yes there are stairs to the second floor with no lift but not a deal breaker. The only issue was the access to the rooms is via a long hallway behind the bar/dinning area and in the morning a trolley full of left over meals was not nice to walk past so possibly they need to think about presentation outside of the rooms. Good parking and nice location with beautiful big trees and nicely kept gardens. Beautiful 1920s building full of lovely woodwork and light fittings.
Geoff
Lovely hotel and staff
Last night in NZ before flight back to UK couldn’t have been at a better place for service, comfort and location. Will quite happily book this again next time we’re back in NZ
CYNTHIA
The location does not have a lift and limited staff to help with luggage if you are assigned a second fooor space. Not for older adults or people with ambulation problems unless they can promise first fooor accommodations.
Stephen
Nice, quiet, clean historical place
Dan
Hotel staff were extremely nice and helpful. I should nite that the hotel does not have a lift, so if you stay on an upper floor, be prepared to carry your bags up the stairs.

Check in was very bad. I am 80 years old and I have a room on 1st floor. There are no lifts and there was nobody to help me take my luggage up 2 flights of stairs, even though I asked.

High quality
Business Trip. The dinner was excellent. I did not stay for breakfast as cooked breakfasts were only offered and I did not have the time to wait. Room was quiet, comfortable and clean. Bathroom had heated tiled floor which was a nice touch. I would look forward to a return visit.

Newly renovated rooms w an old military flare in the hallways. As a retired military officer, it was a great feel to walk the halls of an old officer building.
Mary
Delightful retro decor. Easy access in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Plenty of additional parking out back for larger vehicles. Clean room, comfortable bed with quality bed linen. Friendly staff.
