Yes the room was clean and the staff were courteous. However we were very disappointed that having booked the room in February nearly nine months before occupancy and that our booking was for five (5) nights that a room with a view and higher up the level would have been more appropriate, rather than one overlooking the air conditioners.

You can’t go past a Crown hotel - they have never been but excellent for us in each state. Staff were excellent and the room was spacious. Central location so walkable to everything. The only odd thing I would say is there is a blind that you can open/close that separates the bathroom and everything…I don’t think I want to be watching anyone on the toilet

We spent 3 nights. Very central to Christchurch CBD. Room very clean and modern. We had views out towards the 'Square'. Handy to 'New Regent Street', where you can find cafes and other food places. A short walk up New Regent street brings you to the ticket box and tram ride - very handy. This accommodation is walkable distance to places like 'Riverside' and other shopping areas. Walkable to Hagley park and the botanic gardens. Parking is next to the building - $25 per night. You pay via online, not Hotel. Margret Mahy playground close by as with Victoria park. The cons would be the lobby in the room vicinity is very noisy, and you can hear outside noise. Not noisey enough that I would not recommend or stay again myself. Buffet breakfast selection was good. Quite pricey at $35 pp, but then that is likely similar to other hotel accommodation chains. We would stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

Nice and Modern Hotel as a 4-Star rating

We stayed for 2 nights due to a conference nearby. It was a comfortable stay. Location is very convenient and only a minute walk to Te Pae Convention Centre. Friendly staffs who are very polite and helpful. The room was very modern and spacious. The housekeeping needs improving as the shower glass was not cleaned and shower inside was mouldy. I think they have missed cleaning it. Breakfast was ok, NZ$30 pp extra because they charged extra for a Flat White that we thought it should be covered in the breakfast costs.
