Our upgrade was fabulous. Very well equipped comfortable and a whole apartment that was very clean and comfortable. The manager and his wife the receptionist were outstanding in B their welcome and willingness to help with every request. The pick up and drop off service was also greatly appreciated. This is a motel that we would recommend to anyone looking for a great location for a longer stay. Walking distance to everything and public transport at the door. A fantastic place to stay in Christchurch. We loved our time at Admiral Motel. Highly recommend

Highly recommend!

We arrived late at night on a late flight, but the room was already warm with the heater turned on, which was such a thoughtful touch. It made us feel very welcomed and allowed us to relax right away. The room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. I had a great stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

I'll definitely recommend the Admiral as I found it very convenient and the owner is very very helpful. The whole stay was seamless. We checked in at midnight, but the owners were so thoughtful that they left some food and biscuits for us at late night.
