Very well-positioned hotel in terms of location for the Christchurch area, but also as it is set back from a busy road so minimizing traffic noise, Our room no 29, was in a very quiet part of the hotel and we would ask for that particular corridor when staying there again, A good lot of parking and access to the Globe pub which is serviceable and busy on the night we were there, and had the Champions League on a TV in a secluded alcove, with nobody watching it! One good feature of this hotel was that when we rang to ask questions someone answered on the first ring, a true rarity on the numbers supplied on the Whitbread website.
