"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent stay! Had an excellent stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, welcoming and really helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was a little tight, especially the space between the shower and toilet, but it definitely wasn’t a deal breaker. The bathroom itself was modern and having a washer and dryer in the apartment was super handy, especially for a longer stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you’d need if you wanted to cook in the apartment and save some money, which was a great bonus. The bed was super comfy and the blankets were lovely and warm. There was also a heater in the apartment, which kept the room really toasty and comfortable. The location was great. The apartment is slightly away from the main city, which I actually really liked because it was nice and quiet with very little traffic or noise. At the same time, it’s only around a 9-minute walk into the main city, depending on how fast you walk, where you’ll find plenty of shops and restaurants. Another huge bonus was having two coffee shops just a couple of minutes away. One even opened at 5:30am, which was perfect for an early riser like me who loves grabbing a coffee first thing! ☕️ The bus terminal was also really convenient and only around a 15-minute walk from the hotel. The bus to the airport was only a couple of dollars and took around 30 minutes, so getting around was really easy. Overall, the hotel is in a fantastic location."

"Great overnight stay close to Christchurch Airport I had a great one-night stay at this hotel. I was arriving in Christchurch after midnight, so I needed somewhere close to the airport just for the night before making my way to my other hotel in the city. The free 24-hour airport shuttle bus is an absolute gem and such a fantastic service. I called the hotel when I arrived, as instructed when I made my booking, and the driver was there to pick me up within about 10 minutes. She was really friendly, dropped me off right outside my door and even showed me where the restaurant was so I could grab a coffee in the morning. The bed was super comfortable and the room was lovely and warm, which was very welcome as it was absolutely freezing outside! 🥶 The next morning I headed to the restaurant for a coffee. Both staff members I spoke to were really friendly and the coffee was actually really good too! ☕️ I then made my way to reception to check out and jump back on the shuttle bus to the airport so I could make my way into the city. The location is super convenient for Christchurch Airport, and having a free 24-hour shuttle service makes this hotel an excellent option if you’re arriving late or have an early flight. Highly recommend staying here, especially if you need somewhere convenient and comfortable close to the airport. 😊✈️"
