Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was clean but not quiet, and we expected a bigger menu in Bistro 50. Also couldn't get really cold water from tap in our bathroom, due to its position against the mirror. On the positive side, staff couldn't have performed better, everyone was willing and thoroughly pleasant to deal with.

Extraordinarily comfortable hotel

Extraordinarily comfortable and relaxing three nights in the centre of Christchurch. Food was excellent in the hotel but we were close enough to other fine restaurants and cafes that we could easily walk to them too. Very easy to get to and from the airport.

Great place to stay while in Christchurch! Staff is friendly and very responsive. Accidentally left an item in the room - got in touch with the hotel and they got everything lined up for me to get it picked up and followed up multiple times to make sure everything was good. The rooms are clean, well maintained, and the hotel is conveniently located close to the Riverside Market, and other attractions.

Highly recommend this hotel, it was five star but not stuffy. We had a suite, very spacious, bedding real comfortable. Park across the street and you are within walking distance to the tram and restaurants. The bar and restaurant a little dated but very comfortable and staff is great!

Excellent stay with friendly and helpful staff in this boutique luxury hotel. We were welcomed with chocolates and a gift bear, “George.” The lobby was very welcoming with multiple seating areas. There were complimentary apples in baskets on the different floors. There is a reading library and an outdoor garden, as well. Our room was very well appointed and comfortable. We could not hear our neighbors. The restaurant was excellent. The food was well prepared. We would gladly eat there again. The park with botanical gardens is right across the street.
