The hotel was great. The front desk staff were so very helpful and courteous. It was also a great location for pick ups for several tours. The room was clean and the shared bathrooms were always very clean. The only down side, which I know you can't help, is that there is construction going on around the hotel. Otherwise I had a good experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Affordable, clean, comfortable with good facilities. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Only down side was the noise. Doors shutting through the night, and if you get a room next to a toilet, you'll hear more than you want to. Though if you ask the staff will give you earplugs. I needed those for the snorer in the next room. Still it was worth it. I spent 3 nights here and will use it again if visiting Christchurch. Very handy to the City and Hagley park across the road.

Close to everything, including public transportation to and from the airport. I walked to all the places that I wanted to cover in this trip. Enjoy the place while it is newly refurbished. I enjoyed its story as a socially-sustainable business. The quietness and cleanliness will require every ones cooperation for the walls are thin and bathroom facilities are shared.

Hi Karen Thank you for leaving a review and feedback from your recent stay with us. I am sorry that you felt you received a sub-par welcome on arrival and did not expect to be in a room with a shared bathroom. We note the shared bathroom as a feature of our classic rooms on Expedia, however, we do not have control over where Expedia lists this as a feature. I also note that our Night Manager offered you a complimentary 12pm checkout for the inconvenience caused. I hope the rest of your travels in New Zealand are enjoyable for you.

Hammond

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked the convenience of a central location with easy walking distance access to cafes, Hagley Park, library and the city centre.I liked the bathrooms and the kitchen. What I didn't like: The room door and the toilet/bathroom door squeaked everytime I opened and closed them... some oil would help. Also because of the spring closing system on the room doors they make loud bangs when they close, which must be disturbing to those trying to sleep. Also the vending machine didn’t deliver a drink that I paid for (it got caught in the machine and dropped down the inside without being delivered). So I paid twice for just one drink and wasn’t refunded my $3.50 nor was there any easy way to get a refund for 'undelivered goods'.

Hi Hammond Thank you for your review and comments. Great to see that you enjoyed your overall stay with us and found our location to be ideal. I will pass on your comments regarding the squeaky door to our maintenance department. The vending machine is managed by Coca Cola so any refund for products has to go through them unfortunately.I hope we can host you again when you are next in Christchurch.
