BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

8/10 Good
"Clean and comfortable, and a great central location. Having to rely on public paid parking makes up for the cheaper stay. A bit disappointed when I realised I got charged for an upgraded room that I didn't request and wasn't consulted about. Staff were helpful and relatively friendly. The room and gym are quite small, but clean and all the essentials covered."
