Hotel Guide - Lake Ellesmere hotels in , New Zealand.

"Smaller rooms but everything you need. Great breakfast. Amazing location. Super staff. "

"Amenities are great, the room has a kitchen and even laundry machines. The location is good with an excellent Thai restaurant nearby and a bus stop across the street, but it takes 15-20 minutes walk to the downtown."

"Staff were very welcoming and gave us early access to our room. Greatly appreciated, after a very stressful early morning that saw us nearly not make the trip. Awesome location, to town, restaurants and One Stadium. Highly recommend for that. There was a bit of noise from plumbing pipes in other areas - were woken early on our first night due to that. Cool looking place, with a great vibe. "

"Unique, historical place to stay with well appointed, light and sunny places to sit at tables or on lounge suites on the ground floor, where there is also a separate movie room and kitchen. Second floor boasts another cosy lounge room, further seating area with tables and a small book library and lots of original cell rooms which are the accommodation. Apparently there is a pool room (pool tables) on 3rd level. We found it quiet, good value for money and loved staying somewhere so completely different and fun."

"Gr8 stop "

"All good apart from noisy people above us apparently bouncing a ball for quite a while! Also as usual, the wifi is too weak to do much and need to link to phone. Lovely staff, very comfy bed great location "

"The accommodation was good but what annoyed me is we tried to turn the tv and heating on (its winter in Chch) and there was no power to either. We looked everywhere for instructions but there was none. Very disappointed, we rugged up on a very cold night and went to sleep. Next morning I told the staff how we had to endure a freezing night and no tv. She was very rude and just said “you have to put your credit card in the slot”. Then proceded to ignore me. I asked why we werent told, she said some rooms have instructions on the wall. Your room must not have it. Sorry. Well thats not good enough. My daughter needed a night away. We wanted to curl up on a cold night and watch a movie. Thanks The Hallswell, not good!!!!!! No compensation offered. Just a grumpy attitude and rude staff."

"Each time we have stayed our room has been clean and comfy. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Top it off with a great choice for breakfast"

"Really great location. Perfect proximity to the new One NZ Stadium. The room was a great size and really good condition. Would definitely stay here again."
