Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent
"The most remarkable fact at Carnmore was the staff, both at reception and at the restaurant, the only ones I was exposed to. They would bend backwards to help with any little question or problem. They remembered who I was from a previous stay, remembered my favourite drink a the restaurant, and the food and service were like no other, in a class of their own. I am definitely planning to go back, even though the cost is slightly higher than other hotels... but worth every cent of it."
