A lovely base for our 2 nights in Christchurch city centre. There is a (paid) car park but we managed to find free car parking on the street outside. Excellent front-desk customer service & room was really nice & comfortable! Approx 15 min walk to gardens & cathedral & the town centre. Was very good value for the price I paid , would highly recomend!

To start with I find the elevator have no scanning card wish anyone can come up to any floor I travel a lot and I find that it's lack of security , when it's comes to the room it's very small but it's acceptable the TV has no channels or anything to watch very basic,
