Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was great. Very helpful. Room was tiny, and I mean tiny. There is no place to even put your luggage other than blocking the door. You have to climb up to get on the bed and the TV touches the base of the bed. Would I stay there again, I don’t think so..

I love this hotel. The staff is the best. The location is awesome, right in the heart of the city. I like the bar and the restaurant too. The rooms are small, but perfectly designed; like a cruise ship cabin in the middle of the city. I look forward to staying here whenever I am in Christchurch. Cheers.
