Great location right on the edge of the park. Very nice walk through the park into the city center from Christchurch-alternatively with the hotel shuttle (free of charge). Pleasant atmosphere by the beautiful garden. Read more

We have stayed there (couple) 1 night, unfortunately disappointing, since we two nights ago in Christchurch in a very nice motel were. Although the hotel accomm in a Deluxe room on the travel agent was booked half a year ago, we were given a room with only a couple two single beds (no queen size bed). In the room there was a very large, round window, the tightened was very visible, if not the curtains you.

Is in a good location, about 15 minutes to the center of town to walk through a lovely Park. The hotel has a nice quiet garden with pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Free parking area in front of the house. Read more

At the hotel there was nothing decisive to complain about, it's not a great new building but mostly renovated inside and a very well maintained and unterhaltenem condition. No complaints concerning cleanliness. Not too big but very nice garden with outdoor swimming pool.
Our room had a stylish furniture and very comfortable beds. Noise from other rooms or corridor minimum to not hear it. The A/C could be adjusted.
Very friendly service from reception and in the restaurant. Also 100 % suitable for families with children.

From the hotel in the city just a 30 minutes walk through the park and a few blocks. The botanical garde... Read more

The hotel has great potential but the rooms desperatly need updating and renovating, I think a hot tub and fitness centre for guests would be a good modern addition, especially as the hotel is away from the city centre.
