Hotels With Gym in Canterbury, New Zealand

The rooms are very compact, and have everything you need apart from a cooking area. There is a fridge though. There is storage under the bed and good air conditioning. You can also have access to a laundry room and parking around the corner for an extra charge. With a bar and restaurant downstairs and it's central location it's perfect for exploring the city. The staff are very friendly and supportive too.

This is a must-stay hotel when you visit Christchurch! The environment is lovely, and the food at the restaurant is absolutely delicious. The service is very attentive. I've stayed here many times already, and the cleanliness is always top-notch. Plus, it's really close to several attractions.

We had a wonderful stay at Novotel Christchurch Airport. The location is unbeatable — literally just a short walk from the airport terminal, making it incredibly convenient, especially for travellers with young children. We stayed for one night with our toddler as we had an early morning flight the next day, and it was the perfect choice. Being able to rest properly without worrying about airport transfers made our journey so much smoother. The room was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped for our family. Everything was clean and thoughtfully laid out, giving us a relaxing stay before our flight. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. A special mention to the concierge team, who kindly gifted our toddler a cute little Kiwi bird plushie. It was such a thoughtful gesture and brought a huge smile to his face. Small touches like these really make a difference and leave a lasting impression. Overall, we had a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Great service, fantastic location, and family-friendly hospitality. We would definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Christchurch.

Facilities: The room has a wardrobe, TV, table, chairs, and a luggage rack. Anything else you need can be found in the communal kitchen. The hotel's location is very convenient, with the airport bus route 8 going directly there. Across the street are a garden and a university. However, it's worth noting that the soundproofing is extremely poor; even a small sound from the corridor is clearly audible. If there are children shouting and slamming doors, it gets very noisy. The university bar across the street can also be quite loud on weekends, and early in the morning, around 6 or 7 AM, there are delivery trucks downstairs which are also noisy. In short, if you're sensitive to noise, choose carefully. For those not sensitive to noise, this hotel is highly recommended and offers great value for money! Cleanliness: Satisfied. Although the bathroom is shared between two or three rooms, it is very clean. Service: The dark-haired staff at the front desk were quite warm and friendly, while the light-haired staff were just average.

This is a fantastic hotel. Due to flight issues, I checked in late at night, but the lobby was incredibly warm and comfortable, with a beautiful and pleasant atmosphere. The environment is truly outstanding. It faces a large park, offering lovely views, and the transportation is convenient as it's right in the city center and very close to the airport. The lobby fireplace was cozy, and the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, treating guests like family. The room was very clean and tidy, hygienic, and comfortable. It was spacious, and the bedding was excellent – clean and very comfortable to use. The bathroom was great, and the room overall was very spacious, neat, bright, and grand. Everything felt relatively new. I would definitely stay here again next time. It offers great value for money.

This is a pretty good hotel in Christchurch. The service was very warm and attentive, and the facilities were decent. It's very close to the Botanic Gardens and Art Gallery, just a short walk away. Overall, a good experience.

The location is incredibly convenient. The tram starting point is right next door, and it's just a two-minute walk to the Cathedral Square, which is currently undergoing restoration. The city center and the Cardboard Cathedral are also within walking distance. The room is very well-equipped. It has a capsule coffee machine, and all the toiletries are labeled as New Zealand-made. Plus, the bathroom even has a heated towel rail, and the TV comes with paid sports channels – this is a step above most international chain hotels. The front desk staff are all very friendly, and there's even a Chinese-speaking employee. They were all enthusiastic and helpful in answering any questions I had.

The staff is friendly and nice, also considerate as he gave us a downstairs room, so that we don’t need to drag the luggage upstairs as no lift. The room is tiny and cozy but comfortable. However, there is only 1 chair, which is not enough to sit for two people. And it’s a bit noisy, we can hear the sound from the rooms next to us, even can hear people talking. It’s okay and an economic choice for a one night stay. The location is good and near to city and only 30 mins drive to airport.

The room was spacious and well-equipped with pots, a range hood, and a toaster. Booking early definitely saved me some money compared to booking 3-4 days before. The hotel's location is excellent, and the surroundings are beautiful (P2, P3). It's in the heart of Christchurch, a 5-minute walk from the Avon River, and about 10-15 minutes on foot to the botanical garden entrance. I also walked to the city's bus interchange. For the airport, you can take bus routes 8 or 29, which is also about an 8-minute walk away. The front desk staff seemed to be Indian, and communication in English was smooth. Ctrip recommended I change my room type booking to get the lowest total price for two consecutive nights, but this might have required me to switch rooms the next morning. I spoke with the front desk, and she patiently helped me stay in the higher-priced room for both nights (without having to switch rooms); I just needed to reactivate my key card the next morning. After 10:30 PM, the hotel's front desk is unstaffed. If you check in too late, they will leave your room key in a coded box outside the main entrance and send the code to your email. The only minor issue is that a casino in Christchurch is right next to the hotel (P1), about a 5-minute walk away. However, the security at night is actually quite good (P4) – it's livelier than Auckland at night. I wandered around until 8:30 PM and didn't see anyone who was drunk on my way back to the hotel.

The overall ambiance was just average. Cleanliness: The place was quite clean. Service: There wasn't much service to speak of. The most significant issue was the strict 10 AM check-out time; they'd constantly rush you if you weren't out, which was quite stressful. Facilities: The facilities were a bit dated, but generally acceptable.
