Hotels With bar in Canterbury, New Zealand

Unlike the cramped studio rooms typical of downtown Sydney hotels, the suite layout here is spacious and offers plenty of room to lay out multiple suitcases. Overall, the property is very well-maintained, and guests in high-floor rooms can enjoy a fantastic city view. The bedding is soft and cozy, ensuring a great night's sleep throughout our stay.

1. The hotel's location is excellent, right in downtown. Christchurch is quite small, so you can walk to all the attractions from the hotel. 2. The hotel facilities are good and very new. The shower water pressure is also great. 3. The disposable amenities were quite comprehensive, including a toothbrush, slippers, and a razor. However, I had to call the front desk three times, and it still took a long time for them to be delivered. The body lotion provided was quite nice.

We arrived on a cold evening. The front desk was able to provide us with an upgrade from King to King Studio. Was pleasantly surprised on the spaciousness and amenities provided. A small kitchen with induction stove, a big microwave, dishwasher, and a fridge. In the washroom, a towel heater, washer and dryer was very convenient and make our stay comfortable. The AC is strong enough to provide a comfortable stay during the winter. Clean room and everythings new. Power sockets are conveniently located. Personalized check in and check out time is not 24 hours but it's possible to do by contacting earlier. Plenty of free on-street parking is available from 6pm to 9am and the hotel does provide charged parking spot for NZD20/night. Location is super convenient if looking to walk around the downtown area with the Victoria Square just 10 minutes walk away and Market St just 15-20 minutes walk. It's also walkable to the Botanic Garden. Overall, a surprisingly pleasant place and would like to stay again if I'm back in Christchurch. All photos are mine and none edited.

This hotel is about an 8-minute walk from the Intercity bus terminal. Its convenient location puts major tourist attractions, supermarkets, and restaurants all within walking distance. What I appreciated most was how kid-friendly it is. It started with them gifting my children bird plushies (worth about $15) at the souvenir shop, and there's also a kids' play area. This was a lifesaver when the kids got tired of sightseeing and perfect for burning off energy before bedtime. Regarding amenities, they lean heavily towards sustainability, so if you want to be extra comfortable, it's probably best to bring your own. They provide a hairdryer, iron, towels, shampoo, and coffee/tea, but no water, toothbrushes, bathrobes, or slippers (which might be standard for hotels in New Zealand). Tissues are provided but not replenished when used up. The central heating didn't seem to work very well, which was a shame, but we managed with the extra blankets they provided.

Prime location and the absolute best starting point for a trip to the South Island! The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location. It's super convenient to get to downtown Christchurch, making shopping, dining, and sightseeing completely hassle-free. The rooms are standard and straightforward, perfectly adequate for a short stay and a good night's rest. A major plus is the bus stop right outside the entrance, along with car rental and drop-off points all around the neighborhood. This makes it extremely friendly for travelers planning a road trip around New Zealand's South Island, taking away any transportation worries. Whether you've just arrived in Christchurch and are ready to kick off your South Island road trip, or you need a place to unwind briefly after your journey, this is a great choice. Overall, while the hotel itself isn't particularly mind-blowing, its unbeatable location and seamless transit connections make it highly recommended as either your first or final stop on a South Island trip!

This is a truly characterful hotel with spotless and tidy rooms, a wonderfully rich breakfast, and exceptionally polite and attentive staff. Special thanks go to Chris Donaldson and Vicky Huang for their outstanding assistance—they acted promptly to help recover an item I had left behind at the hotel. I am immensely grateful for their support.

The hotel was truly amazing and a wonderful place to call home for a few nights. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything! Oven, microwave, dishwasher, stove, utensils…everything! We were pleasantly surprised that there was a washing machine and dryer too! There is a working fireplace and the views were stunning ❤️Ours was the two bedroom villa; one room has a bathroom attached with a jacuzzi tub and the other bathroom is not attached to the second bedroom. This bathroom has a shower only, no tub. The second bedroom is actually two super singles joined together so you could possibly request for that configuration. We found that the shower stall in the smaller bathroom has a poor design as water flows from the shower through the grooves between floor tiles and makes the whole place wet. This was perhaps the only down side to this place. The good at the restaurant is reasonably priced and wonderful quality. The location of the hotel is strategic for trekking to the Rakaia Gorge and also for driving to Edoras (or Mt Sunday) where LOTR’s filming took place.

We arrived late at night on our first day, and after collecting our luggage, I called, and they responded very quickly. Within a minute or two of us finding Gate 2, the car arrived. Since it was so late, the driver even handled the check-in process for us, which was incredibly convenient. The next day, we had arranged to pick up our rental car and asked if they could drop us directly at the car rental company (I had originally booked a service where the rental company would pick us up from the airport). They readily agreed! We booked a one-bedroom suite, and while it looked a bit basic, it was very spacious and clean, so that was perfectly fine. _The hotel's restaurant was also good; we had one breakfast and one dinner there. Highly recommend for transit travelers.

The location is incredibly convenient, and the hostel itself is clean, stylish, and well designed. They also offer free yoga and various activities, which makes it easy to meet and socialize with other guests. The only small downside is that the restaurant and bar on the ground floor stay open until late, so you can hear the music somewhat from the rooms. It didn’t bother me too much, but it might be an issue for light sleepers.

The hotel I would most recommend on this trip! Fantastic location and incredible value for money. It's tucked away in a quiet spot despite being right in the center, just across the street from the Avon River and the Arts Centre. The parking lot is quite spacious, with a parking fee of $25 per night. Christchurch isn't a large city; once parked, you can walk to the Transitional Cathedral and Riverside Market within ten minutes. The deluxe triple room comes with a private bathroom, and the bedding was very comfortable and clean. We had gorgeous sunny weather for both days in Christchurch. Sunlight streamed through the window, offering a view of the lush, blooming Botanic Gardens right outside—it was simply stunning! There is a kitchen and laundry room on the second floor; washing and drying cost $4 each, and laundry detergent can also be purchased at the front desk for $1.50 per pack. There are public restrooms near almost every room, so you might hear doors opening and closing quite a bit in the morning, but minor flaws don't obscure the overall greatness.
