The downstairs restaurant has a vibe and great food! The rooms were cosy but asking a customer to pay extra to have a window view of the parking lot is a joke. I couldn’t even open it as the blind had no security feature where I could look out and nobody look in. They do have a nice gym, very modern.

The room is way too small for 2 people. That should be a room for one person only. The bathroom is very crammed that barely fit one person inside. The location is great, within distance of a lot of restaurants and shopping area. There’s no parking on site but we was able to park on a street across from the hotel for free until 9AM

Used the hotel as a place to stay during a famiky members operation at Christchurch Hospital. Made it an easy walk or Uber. Parking at the hotel is very limited with first in first served. Would be nice if there was nore flexibility for breakfast room service even if a limted menu as that would have made our last morning easier as they werent in a position to sit in the dining area. Anyway yes id stay there again. We had a room on top floor.

Not too bad for a three star but quite expensive for what you get. Fairly tired rooms which are tiny with no windows or natural light so a lower price point would be more realistic. Friendly staff and good location.

Great place stayed twice in our holiday to NZ. Great property . Only downfall is they charge $25 for parking . And the parking is limited and can be full. We parked on the street after 8pm for free but have to be gone by 7am as it’s metered. Great accommodation just make sure you get a room where you can walk around the bed. Rm 224 was like being in a closet . We stayed in 323 which was considerably bigger and same price. Overall would recommend clean modern and as central as you can get.

Very good space. I stayed in an internal room for two nights. It was very comfortable given the space and although small was very well played out
There was a sound that was like hearing loud air conditioning in next room. This may not impact others but I wore earplugs to reduce the vibration noise
I would stay in similar rooms going forward

Double bed is hard over to one side - to share this bed, one person has to clamber over the other person to get in and out. Only suited to ONE PERSON.
To top it off, we found out that we had been sleeping on broken AND missing slats. Was told it was our fault for not pulling apart the freshly serviced bed to do a bed inspection when we checked in.
