Hotels in Christchurch with Swimming Pools

We were looking for a room with a bit of space to wind down from our NZ holiday, and the Royal Suite fit the bill. It is a one-bedroom apartment, with a separate bathroom and loungeroom. It felt like a place where a downsizing couple could live permanently. Yes, it was that good. The hotel is located on the fringe of the CBD, with plenty of swank restaurants and nightspots within 5 minutes by car. But our room was quiet and peaceful, at the back of the property near the outdoor pool. In short, we loved this hotel and this apartment. We will be back next time we are in Christchurch.

Late arrival (after midnight) so enquired as to a later check-out. Despite paying full-price for a room that we only used for less than 11hrs they couldn't (wouldn't?) offer us a late check-out without paying a required fee which passed on. Breakfast also expensive at $35 per person (inc. children) so we missed out this. Room clean with expected amenities although a bit nosey in the morning as we were on the ground floor and there were a group of people chatting loudly outside of the room. Bed nice and comfy though, shower water power disappointing. Customer service on check-in wasn't overly welcoming but the female staff member who we checked out with was informative.

How many adjectives can I use to explain our experience with this magnificent establishment? Beautiful, classy, pristine, welcoming, warm! It is a step back in time in the right way. They have encapsulated the essence of what the early 1900s may have been like with the bar staff being spot on, cheerful and skilled. The decor is grand, making you picture the pastimes grandeur. The pool and gym area are to die for and it takes on a different feel when u are beneath ground level. Our two bedroom suite was no less than perfect in every way. Bed comfy and huge, bathrooms on point. Even with a 12 yr child in tow, we were never made to feel less than welcomed and special. No road noise, no neighbouring sounds. Even the gentleman doing the early morning cleanup on the entrance was pleasant and helpful. Will return next time we visit Christchurch.

DATE OF TRAVEL: July 2023 Stayed here for 10 days on a business trip. Room and bathroom was great but the beds are awful. They are not attached to a bed head and are an ensemble base only so they move around. I had a better sleep in a motel in Timaru, which is a shame because working 10 hour days, staying in a 5* hotel, one would think you'd sleep like a baby. Fortunately the shower's high pressure and the bath were great, Apart from that, the hotel grounds is beautiful with ample parking. My room had a veranda which I liked to sit on and watch the traffic go by. I had requested a microwave so as to meal prep due to my diabetes and this was in there prior to check in which was great. Hotel is just around the corner from a heap of restaurants and Westfield Ricccarton and right next to Hagley Park which was great for a morning walk. In room dining was fine, nothing special. I tried the breakfast buffet in the restaurant on the Saturday and it was lacklastre. Didn't end up going back. Plenty of cafes around anyway. All up, I rate my stay there 4*. The facilities were great, the requests were met eagerly and the bathroom was fantastic. The room itself is really well appointed but the bed is awful which detracts a star. I'd stay there again with my wife though, maybe bring some *****s to attach to the bed legs to stop them from moving around though!

This could be a really nice park if it was well maintained and the shower/toilet block ripped down and rebuilt. Showers are strong and hot but revolting floors and rotting benches to put your clothes on. The kids playground is full of ****s, rusting and falling apart. Camp kitchen is well equipped, no TV. Park is mostly permanent residents who are friendly and look after their sites well. In retrospect, we would've preferred to stay at the Top 10 a few minutes up the road where you're guaranteed modern facilities and a well looked after park.

The hotel has Chinese and Western style breakfast, Chinese style porridge and mustard, and water eggs. The room has a small bed. The location is very close to the Botanical Garden Museum Square and you can walk. Free parking is available. There are many delicious restaurants on the street.

I stayed here on the last night of my return home. The house on the upper and lower floors, we had a lot of fun, and forgot to book the hotel, we couldn’t book a suitable place one day in advance. This house is expensive and the two people live a little extravagant, but away from Avon. Very close to Hagley Park for easy shopping.

I stayed in a two-bedroom room. The overall room was spacious and comfortable, and it was very clean. The bed was comfortable and I slept well! If I have the chance, I will stay there again. The location is also very good. You can walk to the park to enjoy the flowers.

A loved · The room was well-amenated, kitchen and well-equipped SDB Wifi available Breakfast served at home Near the apartment near the large park as well as a shopping street full of restaurants and shopping centres Parking in front of the room Not liked · Insonorization not 100% lack of luminosity Nothing to say really negative

1. This is a B&B hotel. Unlike the general hotel, the owner of the store, the two partners, take care of the hotel in person, and make the guests feel like they are at home. Especially the breakfast is sitting around a rectangular table, the owner is baking bread for everyone, tea or coffee. Although everyone did not know each other, they soon became familiar with it, chatting and chatting, chatting about the places they visited and sharing experiences. The atmosphere is very good and I like it very much. 2. There is a Malay Chinese in the host, very young, very enthusiastic and talkative. Chinese tourists will be more convenient. 3. The hotel is in a good location, about 15 minutes walking distance to the city center. It is convenient to visit the main attractions in the city. 4. The fly in the ointment is that because it is an old house, the room layout is limited, the room is relatively small, and may not be used to Chinese tourists who are used to big houses. In addition, Chinese tourists who are not good at English may not be able to adapt to this environment.
