I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious but noisy due to traffic and guests later in the evening. Despite requesting a quiet room, I was placed under a noisy stairwell. However, the rooms were roomy, more so than many expensive hotels.

My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations for a one-night stop in Christchurch. The rooms were clean and simple, with a ranch slider and an ensuite bathroom, making them very comfortable. However, the location was a bit far from the city center for my liking but still manageable for a quick trip. The service was very helpful and friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.

The hotel had clean and warm rooms, but they were a bit drafty with street noise. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the location was great. The dining experience offered good value for the price. However, some aspects like the heat pump and water pressure could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was not the most central, but it was quiet and close to key attractions. The room setup made privacy challenging and lacked some essentials like air conditioning. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful, and the dining offered good value for money.
Rooms

The room layout was not ideal, as we could hear our neighbors through the thin walls. Finding a dirty towel from previous guests was disappointing. However, the room atmosphere felt like a dormitory, which may suit some travelers.

The service staff were a mix of experiences. While some were very nice and considerate, others were rude and unsympathetic. It was a letdown not being able to extend our stay due to early checkout times.

The dining experience was a mix. The continental fare for a low price was reasonable, but the surprise charges over a set limit were unexpected. The quality of the food itself was excellent.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although with floor to ceiling windows offering no privacy from neighboring sounds, were spacious and provided a nice view. The service had some annoyances regarding clutter in common areas but improved with free breakfast vouchers. The location was great with an on-site bar/restaurant, but the neighborhood itself was nothing special. The dining experience ranged from good Asian street food to being misled about a buffet. The facilities met expectations.
