This is a lovely hotel in the perfect location for a visit to Christchurch. The premier room we had was huge and well appointed. The aircon was very useful in the hot weather we had. We got the early check in, which I recommend as it’s easier to find a parking spot earlier in the day. The staff were very friendly and even gave us a free welcome drink. We will definately stay here again.

Thank You for a Wonderful Stay and Meeting Space

Dear Kings Arms Team, I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for a truly excellent experience during my recent visit. I stayed the night and hired one of your business spaces the following day - both were absolutely spot on. Your team, though new, were exceptional throughout. Every member of staff was warm, helpful, and made the whole experience feel seamless. I travel frequently and stay in many hotels, but I can honestly say The Kings Arms stands out as one of the best I’ve come across. You’ve created an environment that feels both professional and welcoming - I felt completely at home. Thank you once again. I look forward to visiting again soon. Warm regards, Richard Frazer

Would recommend

The stay was a lovely relief after a busy day. The room was large and comfortable, however the pillows were very soft. We ate at the hotel with the food being beautifully presented and delicious. Would recommend.

Newly refurbished in great style, the hotel was a delight in all respects. From a really friendly welcome to a lovely big bedroom (with a great view of the old castle ruins and beautiful Priory church) and an excellent evening meal we were really happy with our choice.

Nice overall

Lovely hotel, comfortable room. Biscuits left for us with tea and coffee but one of the two packs had been eaten and the wrapper left! Wedding going on the night we stayed and loud music went on until midnight.

Nice hotel but haunted for sure

The hotel is very nice and the room was lovely. My only complaint was a noisy fridge in the room and bizzarre as.you may think, there was a ghostly pressence in my room which freaked me out slighy. If you like parranormal experiences, try room 202
