It felt like a rough area when we came in to check in as a lot of people were outside the entrance being rowdy and smoking weed so we were quite worried but they left an hour or so later and then it was better. Just not a great fort impression

Great Hotel, Terrible Foyer

Excellent hotel in a great location but the tiny reception area really lets it down. It is drab and unwelcoming, and there is absolutely no where to stand if there are more than 3 or 4 people in there at the same time.

This is my go to for all my Christchurch visits. Feels very new and very clean. And the staff are very keen to assist and I feel nicely looked after. The rooms everything you need and the beds are comfortable. And heaps of coffee and food choices literally just next door.
