BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great staff, great customer service, nice buffet breakfast available, best location right in town, close to everything. For the price, this is a very good hotel."

Quest on Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay at Quest. The facilities were spotless and really nicely appointed with everything you need. The staff were lovely and super helpful and went out of their way to accommodate a request I had with no bother at all. The Quest on Manchester is a great location, close to the city centre too. I booked a carpark with Quest and found this really convenient and for me worth paying extra for. Very highly recommend."

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Carnmore Hotel. Even though it was a last-minute booking and we only stayed for one night, the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They kindly upgraded us to a downstairs room at no extra cost after finding out my dad has difficulty with stairs, which we really appreciated. It was such a thoughtful gesture. The room was spotless, well-equipped with everything we needed, and the spa bath was a real highlight – our daughter absolutely loved it. The location was also great, with everything conveniently close by. The genuine hospitality and attention to detail made our stay even more enjoyable. We'd happily stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming place to stay."
