Perfect for the terminal.

Perfect for the airport, only 150m from the terminal. Breakfast expensive, cheaper option in the airport. Mini bar very well stocked but expensive as you would expect. Small but clean comfortable rooms, good shower.

a nice easy walk from the airport terminal, check-in and out straight forward. I appreciated the security, required to scan room key to get to floor. Didn't appreciate that the access to the door, didn't work on second use, so had to return to reception. On return to room it took several goes to get the door to recognise the key.

The convenience of being so close to the airport was wonderful. In fact, you could not hear the planes land or take off, so the building was soundproof. The customer service was amazing, and the staff was very professional. The breakfast and other meal options were great as well. I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Christchurch.

Great hotel for short staying

Only stayed whilst waiting for our next day flights but was a great hotel. Staff were great, hotel is very modern and clean without much noise from the airport. Gym is pretty good albeit a little small but had no issues with waiting for equipment, equipment is modern and is very clean in there with towels provided. Couldn't fault the place really! Love that the hotel is pretty much 100 metres from the doors to the terminal, definitely would recommend. Stayed here on two occasions over the duration of our holiday and both times were great! Rooms are really clean and showers are pretty good too which is a major point for me. Didn't try the restaurants so can't comment on that but judging by how good the hotel is I would imagine the food would be good too.
