I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotlessly clean and spacious, just like in the photos, with a nice private bath that felt brand new. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The location couldn't have been better, right in downtown Christchurch and within walking distance to so many attractions. The dining experience was delightful, with quality meals and a great buffet. The facilities were all well-maintained and added to the overall wonderful experience.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and spacious, right in downtown Christchurch in keeping with the villa style. The service was exceptional, with friendly and welcoming staff offering valuable suggestions for exploring the city. The central location made it convenient to access key attractions and amenities. The dining experience was lovely, offering a variety of fresh and organic products. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.
I felt right at home in this charming hotel. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated in a cozy Laura Ashley-style, with a comfy bed and excellent bathing facilities. The perfectly served breakfast in the elegant living room was a real treat, although prices were a bit on the higher side. The service was impeccable, making me feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout my stay. The location was fantastic, allowing me to easily explore downtown Christchurch on foot, despite ongoing construction projects in the area. The only downside was the limited dining options, but the quality of the meals surpassed my expectations.
