    “The staff were very friendly and the room was excellent.”

    I rented a car, so it took about 15 to 20 minutes to get from the airport! I think it was also about a 10-minute drive to the city center. The room felt a bit old, but that was nice in its own way, and it was very clean! The spacious room had a larger refrigerator, microwave, and dishes, which were convenient. I was also happy to have a wide variety of drinks available. We could also get milk during check-in. The thing that impressed me the most was the large bathtub, which was big enough to lie down in. I was very tired, so it was refreshing! Additionally, the staff were kind and accommodating to us, even though we weren't great at English. Overall, it was a lovely place that made me feel at home. I will definitely make a reservation again when I visit Christchurch! Thank you very much!

    “Papanui Road Positives.”

    Although the accommodation was built in the 1980’s, the decor had been updated, making it quite light. The room was very spacious, with room for a sofa & two luggage trestles, as well as a reasonably appointed kitchenette. The queen-sized bed was very comfortable. The bathroom had 1980’s fittings, but everything worked well & it had loads of room. Five minutes walk to Victoria St & ten to Merivale, both good for bars & restaurants. 39 minutes stroll to Cathedral Square. All in all, a very quiet & comfortable stay.

    “Overnight in the city”

    So handy to the City and Park. Clean, tidy, spacious units, more facilities than we needed. Quiet and bed were comfortable. Good night's sleep. Did not need any heating. This is second stay at these motels but in a different room. It won't be last stay to these Motels. Friendly staff.

    “Extremely clean with great amenities”

    Friendly staff member checked us in. The room was large and nicely heated. Great big comfy bed with extra blankets but we didn't need them. We appreciated the Nespresso for the morning and the great local hand lotion etc. Will definitely be back next time we're in Christchurch and highly recommend this place
