Middle of the road hotel, they should mention that certain rooms are in their hostel complex with the accompanying noise. Room was basic with some rough edges. Location isn't great, 20+mins walk into the city proper, and nothing nearby for food apart from the onsite restaurant which was so-so. Continental breakfast is pretty sad and no refreshed without asking when empty.

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

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

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.

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.

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
