The room was artistic and comfortable. Very clean, perfect space and amenities for a solo weekend in Christchurch. I arrived after midnight and communication with staff prior to and at the time of check out was easy. Right at the start of High Street, the mall was a few steps away, as was the options of food and supermarket. This was the perfect location to walk around town. It was awesome that they had a cafe attached, and the rooftop bar was nice to spend time in the afternoon. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is conveniently located for visitors to the city. Close to the most famous tourist attractions and easy access. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was under renovation, but it didn’t affect our overall experience. I highly recommend it!

Stayed for 3 nights Feb 2025. Hotel is in a good location for access to the centre but there is a lot of building work nearby including the new stadium. Drop off parking bays are available for 5 mins but no hotel parking. There are a lot of paid for parking options nearby. Breakfast is provided as a credit for the cafe within the hotel but we found this was a good option. Would like to thank Layla on reception who helped with baggage and was always willing to answer our questions. Plus she has a lovely smile!
