    “Superb”

    We got this on a promo for a Superior King Room and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The location is unbeatable – literally steps away from the terminal, making our early morning departure completely stress-free. The room itself was spacious, spotless, and modern, with a comfortable king bed that guaranteed a good night’s sleep. The soundproofing was excellent – we didn’t hear a single plane despite being right at the airport. Staff were warm, welcoming, and efficient, especially the guys at the restaurant on the 6th floor. We’ll definitely choose it again when flying in or out of Christchurch.

    “Unbeatable Convenience and Comfort Right at the Airport”

    The location couldn’t be more convenient, just steps from the terminal, which made arriving late and catching an early flight incredibly stress-free. The room was spacious, clean, and very quiet despite being so close to the runway. The bed was super comfortable. The on-site restaurant offered great views along with a solid menu, perfect for a relaxed dinner without needing to leave the hotel. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone flying in or out of Christchurch. It’s a perfect blend of convenience, quality, and great service.

    “Exceptional”

    We stayed at the Novotel airport hotel because we had a 6am flight to catch. It’s around a one-minute walk to the terminal so very convenient. I wish the walkway was covered entirely though coz we were wet from the rain and wind just walking from the hotel to the terminal. The room was very clean and tidy with a good view too. It’s fun looking at the tarmac and seeing planes take off. Staff were very friendly. We also had dinner at the food exchange on the top floor which serves nice food. All in all a great place to stay if you have an early flight to catch or land late

    “Good option for a late night accommodation close to Christchurch Airport”

    Stayed here for 1 night after arriving at Christchurch. The check-in was very seamless and the room was clean and tidy. Probably had one of the best buffet breakfast here. The options were impressive and the service was outstanding! Will definitely book again. The only downside is the price. Definitely on the higher end of the scale.

    “Exceptional”

    This property boasts an unbeatable location, making it incredibly easy to access the airport, while cleanliness is clearly a top priority with spotless rooms and facilities. The amenities provided are impressive, especially the well-designed bathroom that adds comfort to the stay. Although the staff were generally helpful, there were moments where service could be improved, but overall, it's a solid choice for travelers seeking convenience and quality.
