"The cottage and surroundings felt like you were at a resort, not in the middle of the city. Cute little deck to have your morning coffee on. We had everything we needed in a rental. However, the decor and room overall were a bit dated, and the bed was too soft for us. The location was very convenient with cafes, restaurants and a grocery within walking distance. Staff were very nice, and check-in was easy."

Top Saint Albans Hotel Reviews

Bealey Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Room is always clean and tidy on return from work. All staff are extremely helpful and friendly."

Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG

8/10 Good

"Property is clean, new and well maintained. Breakfast is good but because we don’t eat beef and pork we would consider your hotel having chicken sausages etc as we are limited to the options at breakfast. Also check in was very slow, frustrating especially when you are tired. Needs improvement. House keeping was poor too. We ordered some drinks and waited but never came."

Novotel Christchurch Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a very convenient location to the terminal. Often international flights get in late like mine and I emailed the hotel in advance to let them know I was a late checkin and my room was ready and the team on hand were so friendly and helpful. The room felt fresh, the sheets were so soft. I honestly had the best sleep after my flight and didnt rush leaving because of late checkout."

Apartments 118

10/10 Excellent

"The two bedroom apartment was perfect for our stay. Each bedroom has an on-suite, the kitchen facilities are perfectly adequate for cooking easy meals, and the washing machine in the apartment was a bonus, especially since I needed to do an emergency wash! The team member who checked us in was amazing - so helpful and thoughtful. Great location too."
