Guest review summary

What guests liked

  • The airport shuttle was not mentioned in the reviews, however, the location of the hotel being "a stone's throw from Christchurch airport" and "right next to the airport" and "you can literally walk out of the hotel lobby and into the airport in under 8 minutes" suggests that the airport shuttle is not necessary. (155 reviews)
  • The on-site restaurant was consistently praised for its excellent food and great service. (101 reviews)
  • Breakfast was a highlight with a generous spread and great variety, often described as a refreshing and delicious start to the day. (55 reviews)

Would have given it a 5 out of 5 for location great restaurant and staff. What let it down was the girl that checked us in I found her very unwelcoming I think her name was Kayla it is the first time people may see New Zealand and she was not friendly and was a New Zealander. The morning receptionist was lovely.
