Small conveniently located motel. Good value; family owned. Stayed there a few years ago & we’re very satisfied-appears to have been updated since then! Definitely recommend!
Jack
Excellent place to stay. I'm a repeat visitor Lorenzo is good value for money.
Jackie
Very nice staff, friendly and helpful. The only negative - the room and bathroom were very cold when we arrived, all heating was off, incl heated towel rail. The bathroom was very clean but had an unusual smell - possibly from the spa bath. Overall a good stay. Thank you.

Used to stay here when i worked for Barkers of Geraldine. Nice place and convenient. My husband wasn't well and called an ambulance - not too far to the hospital. Cafes near by. Great location.
Robert
Exceptionally clean.
Susan
This property is in an ideal location within walking distance (About 20 minutes)of the CBD. It didn't have an oven, but it was well equipped otherwise and is the first motel we have ever stayed at with 3 TV's with Sky! The living area is very comfortable with a lovely patio with a fence with camelias growing against it. It also has a nice spa bath. The only minus was that the tap in the bathroom basin was very stiff and the other taps were very loose! The fridge had too many cans and bottles which had to be taken out to fit our own food. Over all though, a great place to stay.

Parking is very difficult to get near Christchurch Public Hospital. The motel carparking was free and only 20 minutes from the hospital through the very lovely Hagley Park. The motel owner allowed me to check in early and park my car. This was such a relief to me because I was visiting a sick relative and was under time pressure for a scheduled meeting.

Convenient location, friendly staff,
Have stayed at this motel previously. On this trip we stayed at the Lorenzo at the beginning and end of trip with time in other cities in between. Rooms comfortable and clean. Unit 1 at ground level had an extra bed in the living area which detracted from the utilization of the space. Unit 7 on the upper level did not have an extra bed and was a lot more appealing. There was some minor train noise at night. Staff were very accomodating.
David

The location of this motel is great. Handy for the city, eateries, and routes out of the city. Everything we needed was here and it was a very comfortable experience.

Best Motel I've Come Across in Christchurch
This has got to be the best experience we've had in Christchurch.
Location is fantastic, being close enough to Westfield Riccarton and surrounded by many eateries.
Check in was a breeze.
Travelled with 3 kids in tow. Had a lovely ground floor corner 2 bedroom unit which was convenient for offloading luggage and was superbly kept. Kudos!
Unit was spotless, kitchen was amazing for cooking, all utensils and cutlery were provided.
Great Wifi. Spotlessly huge bathroom with nice amenities and towels.
Beds were comfortable and place was just really nice for our 2 night stay, wish it were longer
Resident manager and staff went out of their way to accede any requests and are so efficient and friendly.
Thanks for having made it a memorable stay for us. No doubt about us staying with Lorenzo if we are back in Christchurch.

This is a very comfortable and nice place to stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. After a long flight, it was relaxing to have the Lorenzo as a place to get us started on our New Zealand adventure.

Comfortable motel in excellent location
The location of the motel could not be better!! Riccarton mall a short walk down the road and coffee/ sushi/ bsr just across the road. I recommend Eagle brewing if you enjoy beer (just across the road next to the Volstead bar-another great place).
The motel itself was spacious and comfortable with an excellent supply of tea/ coffee/ shampoo etc.
It was an easy and pleasant stay.

Well located motel.
The hotel is well located near the Hagley Park and town center. There are a couple of good restaurants in the neigborhood and a very good cafe across the street.
The motel is a bit dated in furnishings but very clean and quiet. There are 2 floors (with only 12 suites/studios). The only downside is that there is no elevator.

Clean, well maintained, but dated hotel
This hotel is pretty dated. It needs to be freshened up. That being said, the staff is great, rooms are very clean and well maintained.
