We had a HUGE 2 bedroom suite. It had everything we needed including an air fryer, which was a nice surprise. Our bed was comfy, so was the couch. The best part was definitely the staff, they were all great!

Enjoyed our brief stay at Camelot very reasonably priced. Facilities are looking a bit tired but I understand it is under new ownership and they have plans for refurbishment.

Liked: Cleanliness
Despite the wall heater not working the unit was warm and quiet and although dated exceeded our expectations. Criticisms, the shower tray was not level and did not drain completely, bathroom floor slippery when wet, bed was ok but a duvet would be nicer than blankets and a foam topper pad more comfortable. Fix the heater.

The Camelot is in a great location, close to the centre of Christchurch and we enjoyed our stay. Clinton, the manager, is very helpful and wonderful to communicate with but the Camelot is in dire need of some serious upgrade on many fronts.

There was a distinct lack of mirrors. Apart from the bathroom there was only one small mirror in the kitchen area hung so hi we couldn't look into it. Not ideal when there are 4 people trying to get ready for a function. Not a huge issue but also an easy fix. Also the property is definitely showing its age. But it is still a place I would stay at again. Great location.
