"The hotel location is fine, but anywhere in Christchurch city will be close to everything there. I stayed in a 'club room' which was very ordinary and in need of some improvement. Worst of all was the club lounge - terrible location and atmosphere, and a complete waste of money unless you're there only for the free evening drinks. The evening canapes were so ordinary and almost exactly the same every evening. The club floor breakfast was ridiculous - cereal, dried fruit, salami, cold ham and...

Top Avon Heathcote Estuary Hotel Reviews

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for just one night and really enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic — an easy walk to lots of restaurants, shops, and the casino, which made it really convenient for exploring without having to drive. The hotel parking lot is VERY small and there wasn’t a space available when we arrived, but that actually worked out in our favor. Street parking is free and we lucked out with a spot right in front of the hotel. Our room was comfortable and well appointed, with a fridge, coffee maker, and even welcome brownies — always a nice touch! We also ate at the hotel restaurant, Hoi Polloi, and it was delicious. They had a great variety of food and some fantastic specials depending on the night. We happened to be there on a Tuesday when it was buy one entrée, get one free, which was an unexpected bonus! Great location, comfortable room, good food, and a very easy one-night stay. We’d definitely stay here again."

Christchurch City Hotel

8/10 Good

"Thank you to the entire team at Christchurch City Hotel and helping to make our first trip to Christchurch a lovely stay. The room was lovely with an amazing view of the square, streets and surrounding buildings. The reception staff were wonderful and so friendly. The house keeping staff were lovely, super polite and kept our room at a high standard. We appreciated the brief chats at the front desk and considered you are all ambassadors to your hotel and indeed the Christchurch CBD. Everything you needed was a short walking distance. My husband spent a fair amount of time in the room and said he wished there was a comfortable lounge seat to relax in. The seating wasn’t comfy and the only alternative was the bed which wasn’t comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. The only grumble we had was our experience in the bar on our first night. The Asian barman was rude and really pretentious. My husband informed him we weren’t dining and he was handed a food menu with the drinks menu’s. My husband politely repeated we weren’t dining and the barman retorted “I know” and took the menu back. When we ordered drinks he brought them back and said “I hope I got that right” and my husband replied “so do I”. It was an uncomfortable exchange and I was super proud that my husband maintained his composure because I can assure you he was fuming. We left after finishing our drink. Not a great start to our stay but thankfully the rest of the staff were amazing. Thank you again guys."
