Affordable and great location. I can go for short walks and explore the city anytime. Everything is close by. The room is clean and it's been tidied up every day. The breakfast is amazing! One incident I had on the second night was the light wasn't turning off before I went to bed. So, I informed the reception, and they actioned it straight away by putting me in a different room. Great service and friendly staff.

The parking situation here is a bit confusing along with trying to unload and get into. I’d recommend calling before hand to avoid confusion. That said, staff is great and location is convenient. I would say the showers/bathroom were a little jarring.

Modern hotel in the centre of Christchurch. We booked an interior room which was small but had everything we needed (including tea, coffee, a mini fridge, and ensuite bathroom). My only issue is that the beds are not very long. I'm just over 6ft tall and struggled to straighten my legs while lying in bed. This might not be the case in other rooms, but should be a consideration for anyone booking an interior room. The location is perfect though and I would recommend this place for a cheap, convenient place to stay in the city centre
