jake, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very conveniently located directly near the city. My first time travelling solo and I had a good experience, staff were friendly, check in and out was easy considering it was my first time, the room I had was clean, had sky tv, and had everything I needed. Probably only downside would be the parking, maybe invest in a gate or something, there seemed to be a lot of pedestrians crossing through. That’s my only critic, can’t go wrong with this place

Comfortable clean reasonable price accomodation close to the centre of Christchurch. We recommend this property to fellow travellers. David and Sharyn.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I picked this property for the price and got what I paid for. It was clean and had all the facilities you need but would definitely be considered a budget property. Staff were friendly and helpful. Car parking is available right outside your door for ground-level rooms. Great location in walking distance to the city and right across the road from the new stadium (when it is completed).
