Arrived in town very early and Rory let us leave the car for the day while we walked the town and Botanical Garden. Chatty check in with same later with great recs for dinner and evening activities. Room quiet as a tomb, immaculately clean, pristine beautifully tiled bath with curtained floor shower soft towels and nice toiletries. Universal outlet for charging our shaver, rare in NZ. TV with plenty of international channels. Kitchenette with French press coffee maker, milk in the fridge, microwave, all you’ll need. Comfortable queen bed with top grade linens. 15 minute walk to everything. Ate across the street at Bog, the Irish pub and very pleased. Gated security after 9:30 pm with fob access. All at a very reasonable price.
The Classic Villa
4.4/540 Reviews

The Classic Villa

Christchurch Central|0.68km from Imagination Station
The Classic Villa is perfectly located for a stay in Christchurch: - easily accessible from the airport, - just opposite the famous Arts Centre with its historic buildings (we recommend a guided tour) and highly recommended eateries (Cellar Door for dinner, Bunsen for coffee and cake) - a few steps from the magnificent botanical gardens and - all the city's attractions a pleasant stroll away (e.g. Christ Church Cathedral, the Cardboard Cathedral, CoCA: Center of Contemporary Art, the Christchurch Art Gallery). The reception at the small but excellent hotel is very friendly and extremely attentive. The breakfast is generous and filling for the day. Our room was charmingly furnished and the bathroom and WC were generously equipped. The lounges were perfect for reading and daydreaming after a day out …. We will gladly return to The Classic Villa. Steve and Jackie are wonderful hosts.
The Observatory Hotel Christchurch
4.6/558 Reviews

The Observatory Hotel Christchurch

Christchurch Central|0.73km from Imagination Station
I don’t usually write reviews but this is such a beautiful place that I have decided to! I decided to stay one night here before travelling home back down South. After googling new places, I chose The Observatory based in the beautiful William Morris decor! It is really a stunning place to stay if you like good design and architecture. Aside from those already great things, the room was beautiful and comfortable with great colours and design elements. The sitting room or library has the most incredible selection of books that it is worth staying here for those and having a relaxing evening in reading. The artwork along the corridors and in the room is exceptional. If you are a tea or coffee drinker then you will love choice of great quality tea or coffee. If you are a product lover then you will love the freshness of the bathroom products. Last but not least, the staff are friendly and professional and offer some of the best customer service I have come across in recent years. I cannot wait to go on another trip and stay here again. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place in a magically calm area.
Sudima Christchurch City

Sudima Christchurch City

Christchurch Central|0.8km from Imagination Station
The loveliest - particular thanks to Sam - front desk staff (and efficient too). Excellent location, only a short walk to the centre, and very pleasant if you go through the park. There is also a bus stop directly outside; it will take you to the centre, or go to the bus station and take a trip to Sumner or Lyttleton - both worth a visit. Rooms are spacious and clean, beds comfortable. For some reason though, complimentary water and crisps only appeared on our first day! Useful to have a guest laundry, but be warned there is only one machine for all floors... The kitchen area is fine, but not for those who want to cook up a storm - you need to ask for pots and pans. Not a problem for us as we preferred to eat out (try Rangoon Ruby nearby, good, if somewhat 'neutralized' flavours, as the waitress herself put it!) . Overall a really pleasant stay in a very interesting city.

Christchurch Central|0.81km from Imagination Station
It seems that I accidentally booked the biggest room and left the front desk a little far. The last section of the road was going to climb the stairs. The waiter helped us to get a very heavy box. The kitchen facilities were all in place. Although we didn’t cook our own tea, we had a small table. Sitting on it is still very good parking is very convenient breakfast is also very delicious

Bealey Avenue Christchurch Central|0.96km from Imagination Station
Wow just mind blowin how great this place is. So accommodating for all the staff are lovely, room is modern except the couch definitely needs a upgrade but that's all I can fult the bathroom floor is super slippery when wet but this is a issue even in my own home. The bath is great it's huge seams bigger than other hotels and Deep which is amazing. The building next door has really bright lights that shine through the bedroom. I'll definitely be back I didn't want to leave wish this was my house because it's great. I love how there is a separate lounge to the room and this is the first time my baby has atcually stayed asleep. Well done team you have done well and I'd say this has to be the most affordable comfortable modern accommodation in chch thanks for our stay. Can't believe there are 2 tvs as well

Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square

Christchurch Central|0.06km from Imagination Station
Accommodation is good. My criticism of the hotel is the customer service in the bar. Tiny pours of wine, barman kept calling me (female business traveller) ”dear” - didn't point out that the beer I ordered in happy hour (after I enquired which drinks were discounted) was not included in happy hour....As a lone female business traveller I want to feel welcome, not patronised. The whole point of hospitality staff is that they are hospitable and your staff seemed to not have really grasped how to do that. I frequently stay at Accor hotels and love the friendliness of the staff - (Pullman Rotorua is an example of excellent customer service). Christchurch was an anomaly.
Crowne Plaza Christchurch, an IHG Hotel

Crowne Plaza Christchurch, an IHG Hotel

Christchurch Central|0.12km from Imagination Station
Comfortable hotel in Heart of City. Booked a room using points as a Gold Elite. Requested quiet room and was appointed 3rd floor over traffic lights so receptionist kindly moved me to a room on opposite side. It was quiet however the walls are thin and I can hear a lot of noise this morning - a lot of noise. Room service eggs were excellent, as was bar service last night. They know how to make a good drink. I was a bit annoyed as mini bar knocked this am and said she thought there was “no one in the room” whilst I was on a call. Not so professional. Can recommend as a good hotel in Christchurch (I’ve stayed in quite a few)

Fable Christchurch

Christchurch Central|0.14km from Imagination Station
Excellent location! So close to everything in the city centre, we used the valet parking service and didnt take the car out once!, we could easily walk everywhere. We stayed 3 nights in a 1 bedroom suite, which was nice and clean, well appointed, and with a super comfy bed. They even had a wee sewing kit and a toothbrush kit, which are definitely things we've needed on our travels! Facilities in the hotel were great and staff were very friendly and attentive. Quintin from concierge was so helpful, and helped make our stay extra special by organizing wine and platters and delivering balloons to our room for our arrival :) Breakfast was also really yummy. Thank you Fable Christchurch! We really enjoyed our stay :)
Distinction Christchurch Hotel
4.6/5117 Reviews

Distinction Christchurch Hotel

Christchurch Central|0.15km from Imagination Station
The hotel is in a great location, but it is a big hotel. The staff are very pleasant and they make it feel more personal. It is close to shops, restaurants / cafes, the tram and most of what Christchurch city has to offer. We booked direct with the hotel, a good price for the location, but our studio room had a view of a carpark and other room windows. The room was big enough but an extra chair would have been better. We did not like the uncomfortable pillows and the extremely heavy bed cover we had to remove. We don’t normally ask for clean towels each day, but had to with no where to hang to dry sufficiently and no electric towel hanger like we have had in most other hotels we’ve stayed in NZ. Overall a pleasant stay and no problem with valet parking.

Hotel 115

Just on the edge of the cathedral, it is very convenient to go anywhere, and the room has a great terrace. Downstairs is the mall and Chinese restaurant. There is a tram restaurant downstairs, and the train is a bit noisy.

City Central Motel Apartments

City Central Motel Apartments

The hotel is centrally located, not very expensive at price - it also corresponds to quality. The reception times are very unfavorable and are not respected. As we were following the CHC only in the afternoon, we wanted to leave the baggage at the hotel. In the early evening we asked when and whether we could deliver the baggage. The early time (from the motel view) is to wait for the opening of the reception at 9:30. On the check-out day we waited just half ten before the reception and we found that the reception was still closed and the staff were not even entered the building.. We have to wait before closed doors until 09:45. When we (And the employees!) were finally entered, we could only deliver under baggage in half an hour... thus we are swept the remaining time in CHC.. We wouldn't come here anymore!

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights just recently, first arrived at the hotel, the reception was polite enough but not as helpful as any front desk staff coud be. The room was clean and comfy, location was fantastic, environment was superb (quite, few hote guests). But somehow my wife lost her wedding ring from our room. We only noticed by the end of the day, and should have picked up earier. Mr. ************, the hotel manager, made it even worse from a travellers point of view. He has the worse attitude to the whole incident, instead of offering his empathy, he pushed responsibility back to the hotel guests who lost the wedding ring in his room at his hotel. His passive aggression is throughout all the poor google review! He reacted bluntly when questioned about CCTV other than the door access record he could provide immediately, being agreesive at his answer and attitude towards to someone who turned over the room to just look for the missing ring. He was not friendly, empathatic nor welcoming despit he is in hospitality industry. Im not blaming at anyone here or making any accusation on anyone but he as the hotel manager was the only one we could seek help for in a foreign country, and he expected us undedstanding how police and system worked here. To us, he made us sound like *****s and being forgetful on our own properties.

The decoration is good-looking. There are many rooms. We all thought that there was no hair dryer in the room. Later, we checked the empty cabinet and found that the hair dryer was in the gap. This location is good, there is the largest park, and the bus interchange near Christchurch is the main bus station, ten minutes walk.
Quest Cathedral Junction Serviced Apartments

Quest Cathedral Junction Serviced Apartments

4.2/581 Reviews
Stayed four nights at this hotel which has a great location and within walking distance to most attractions and restaurants. Check in was good and paid parking plentiful. Unfortunately, the lift was not working on our arrival so we had to leave our luggage in our car and walk up to the third floor. The hotel is dated and grubby as was our room. There was a trolley of dirty towels and linen left in the hallway for over 24 hours during our visit, this is unacceptable! The bed was comfortable but the bathroom towels were very thin. One day we returned to our room at 4.00pm and the room was not made up. I understand the vacated rooms are made up first but after a full day of sightseeing, it would be good to return to a tidied room. I have stayed at various Quest hotels in Australia as I am a member but this is by far the worst. As such, I could not recommend this hotel to other travellers.
West Fitzroy Apartments

West Fitzroy Apartments

4.2/535 Reviews
A lovely two bedroom apartment in a conveniently central location, just behind the Art Gallery and a short walk to the Cathedral. We arrived after hours on a Saturday and the Justin key app on the phone worked well. Took a bit of figuring out the system for accessing the building having worked out exactly where to park our car (the allocation of parks follows no set pattern that I could discern). Realised later it would have been easier to unpack bags direct from the carpark to level 3, perhaps some more specific instruction would be an improvement. Our park was on the roof so uncovered which is less than ideal in the rain but not a major issue. The apartment itself, two bedroomed on level 3 was spacious, modern and well equipped. It suited our needs perfectly. Clean and comfortable. I think the apartments are perhaps individually owned so perhaps we just struck it lucky with nice furniture and fit out. Apartment 3E is recommended to others for a comfortable stay in Christchurch.
