Lack of guest parking but overall good

Bed to soft to my liking, pillows also not comfortable, like where the property is dinning optional. Which is good

Great friendly service and a fantastic Bar and restaurant next door.

It was fine.

First place to stay on holiday. Was big enough room and tidy with own bathroom. We should have stayed here again on our last night before flight out, as we upgraded (well we thought we did to the studio apartments 12days later) wasnt an upgrade for $50 a night, smaller rooms, no parking, yes was newer but not big, couldn't swing a cat.. Would stay in lodge one again though for price

Stay in this upgraded version as 2weeks ago stayed in lodge part with self contained bathroom, thought was going to be a big upgrade for $50 more a night, room was smaller and personally wouldn't upgrade next time, lodge part was fine

20 mins walk from Christchurch city centre. Wi-Fi worked well. Room was pretty spacious. Fridge, kettle, etc, included.

Very lovely backpackers, common spaces are a bit small.

I arrived early so my room wasn't ready and I went to the restaurant for lunch instead. The Canterbury lamb was one of the gluten free options (I am coeliac) and was excellent. The room, however, was rather disappointing on first impressioins. It was a cold day and the room was cold. No heating was on and the bathroom window was wide open. This was impossible to shut at first then I found that one of the window stays was broken, once I re-arranged that the window could be closed. Old-fashioned arrangements in the room were a surprise: no bedside lamps or light switches for room lights by bed, no shelf or anywhere to put soap, shampoo etc in the shower apart from on the floor and no extractor fan. In contrast, the main "living area" looked modern, new and clean. There was a good choice of TV channels and decent WiFi. The whole area was very noisy at night with booming music, loud talking and shouting outside the rooms as well as loud cars/motorcycles roaring along the road. Luckily the music stopped at 11pm but the "people noise" persisted until midnight and then resumed at about 3.30am. It was convenient for my purposes this weekend but I will definitely think twice before staying here again. 

Up to date facility

Was within walking distance from the cbd. After unfortunately having some very noisy room neighbours on the first night, which we had to complain, the staff did give us some vouchers for a continental breakfast for the inconvenience it caused. The only thing that was lacking in the room was a towel rail in the bathroom to hang up the towels. And despite us being 3 people we only received two bath towels.

Great place

Good location to walk into Christchurch but we were in upstairs unit that felt quite small and soulless. Hard to get out luggage up the steps. All bit bland and lacking character

Good location. Pleasant stay. Thank you.

When we arrived, I was asked for photo ID. When I asked why, the young lady at reception told me it was for the security of the property. I am 70 years old and have never been asked for photo ID in any New Zealand hotel or motel – yes in North Korea, Cuba and Vietnam but never in New Zealand. Things got even worse when there was no parking at the motel – I was told to park in the street 100 or so metres from our room. They threatened to tow my car away if I left it in within the motel area. You can’t excuse this lack of parking by saying that I was emailed just prior to arrival to say that there may not be parking – I had already made my booking. Needless to say, the group I was with did not use the restaurant at all for the days we were there because of the above appalling treatment.

The property is quite a long walk from the city, but a nice walk. The reception staff are not exactly joyous, a smile or two would help! But the room itself was a huge disappointment! We stayed in the Lodge, which is much like a YHA, with dorm rooms kitchen etc. Although we had a double room with ensuite it was very small and westerly facing, so on lovely sunny day the room heats up like an oven and there is no A//C!!! So we had little sleep during our 2 night stay! Our first night there with our group we stayed in a Studio room, which was much better, so if you have a choice pricewise, that is a better option. I must add that although it was hot in the Lodge room and with my earlier description, it was however quiet!

Property was clean and walkable although a bit removed from the city center. However, due to the variety of accommodation types from backpacker to mid range hotel it was very busy and at times noisy. Rooms facing Bealey Ave also experienced a far bit of road noise as this is a busier road.

This was really meant to be aimed at a younger generation seeking hostel type of accommodation. Expedia should not have included this in a list of hotels I could pick in a package deal including flights. I will never try an Expedia package as I had an issue with the flights and it was a nightmare to get Expedia to resolve it satisfactorily.

Customer service and composure .Highly recoomend the seafood chowder at restaurants Great comfortable bedding

35° sun beating in and no way to cool down. Its unacceptable to have no air conditioning. Wouldn't stay again in the summer for this very reason.

The property was nice and clean, and staff friendly the doors to the rooms are hard to open i am in a wheel chair, and really struggled to get over the lip below the door hold the door open and get in, once i got in.straight away there was a char standing against the wall and there was not enough room between the chair and wall to get through, there was just enough room between the bed and the desk to get through wit my chair, but couldn't go further or enough space to turn my wheelchair around, the rooms are not sound proof and i could here neighbouring guests snoring, talking, taking a pee outside between the office and apartment block i stayed in there is a hand built ramp, this ramp coming from the office first of all is to steep for wheel chairs and wouldn't be approved by a building inspector. secondly between the ramp is a concrete curbe the ramp doesn't flush up to it so there is a ridge, as you you up the steep ramp, then hit the curb it will tip a wheel chair over. i told the worker at the front desk whom told me to go the long way around i told him that management needs to fix that ramp, and he said he would tell them, i don't know wether management has been told or if it is going to be fixed. as i wont be going back, the price was the same as other motels on the same street, and they have better facilities, larger rooms, and you can not here other guests fart.

The kitchen was dirty and too small for the amount of people staying. The bathroom doors swing out and it's an obstacle course getting to the toilet or shower and is a bad design. Also, the water from the shower goes all over the floor due to poor floor design so dangerous, and risk of slipping or getting injured by the doors which permanently stay open.

Bealey quarter is set amongst the hotels part of bealey avenue, and located to the rear of a large restaurant and bar. The staff here are very professional and welcoming, and the general facilities are kept exceptionally clean and tidy. However as a backpacker, i did find some faults. There is absolutely no backpacker vibe here that you would normally find at a hostel, from the sterile dorm rooms and hallways, to the total lack of any type of lounge areas. The closest you will find to a lounge area are formal leather couches in the main entrance and top of the landing of the second floor stairway. Zero relaxation availability outside your room, unless you go outside to the picnic table seating thats observed by all the rooms facing it. It seems the only sense of privacy is in the bathroom. The indoors desperately requires air conditioning, as there is a lot of wooden construction and paneling, it feels like an oven inside during the summer heat. The leather couches provided serve to only intensify the discomfort. Finally, every single bunk bed seems to squeak and squeal from the slightest movement, making it impossible not to wake everyone if you require the bathroom late at night. On top of that, they are extremely wobbly and anyone shifting positions at night will find they create a small earthquake for their bunkmate. 6/10

Nice clean place pretty reasonable price at short notice would stay here again

Easy to book

Good quality budget accommodation

We stayed here for 4 days. Easy distance to the city, supermarket etc. lovely restaurant with excellent staff and delicious food. We will definitely stay here again

Great place to stay if you want to be close to the city, receptionist went the extra mile to help us get a carpark.

Reception was friendly. Limited parking lot.
