Hotels near Ilam, Christchurch

I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Give Christchurch. The location is fantastic—just directly opposite the beautiful Christchurch Botanic Gardens, which is perfect for a relaxing walk. Many of the main attractions are within walking distance, making it very convenient to explore the city without needing transport. Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Christchurch.

I recently stayed at the Golden Hotel in Christchurch and had a mixed experience. The location is convenient, with easy access to local attractions. However, I found that it is more like a motel than hotel because our room is situated on ground floor that opens directly to the parking area. And the most unpleasant part of the experience is - after the stay, we found out we got double charged by the hotel mistakenly, but the staff handled the credit card refund very quickly after we reported the issue, but we still suffered a loss due to exchange rate variation.

The room was small but had everything I needed, which was very convenient. The kitchen was well-equipped with oil, salt, vinegar, and soy sauce, and had plenty of space for cooking. It's also close to the airport, and the path was well-lit the whole way, so I felt safe walking alone as a woman.

This hotel offers excellent value for money in Christchurch. It's about 7-8 kilometers from the airport, similar to a 'Home Inn' or 'JI Hotel' in China – well-equipped and comfortable. The front desk service was warm and patient. My child was sick, and when I requested a late check-out, the Caucasian gentleman at the front desk readily agreed. Thumbs up! 👍

Overseas rooms don't come with slippers, toothpaste, or toothbrushes, so you'll need to bring your own. Water isn't provided in the room either; you have to get it from the hallway, so it's a good idea to bring your own cup or water bottle. Other than that, it's pretty decent. It's within walking distance to the terminal, and the front desk staff are quite friendly. There's also a restaurant upstairs. The bed was comfortable, and I slept well. This place is better than the Novotel at Auckland Airport.

I stayed at this hotel for three nights in Christchurch. Overall, it maintained Hilton's usual high standards and was generally satisfying. **Ambiance:** The hotel is beautiful, with vibrant flowers in the garden. Enjoying breakfast in the restaurant with a view of the garden outside the window was a real pleasure. The hotel is also very close to the city center. On a sunny day, it was lovely to walk to the city center, visit the Botanic Gardens, the Arts Centre, the Riverside Market, and the Cardboard Cathedral, all while strolling along the Avon River. I managed to check off many attractions without even realizing it. **Cleanliness:** Housekeeping was prompt, and the room was clean and tidy. I didn't find any dirty spots. **Facilities:** The hotel seems to be a bit old, so the facilities aren't brand new, but they are sufficient and well-equipped, including a hairdryer, iron, kettle, refrigerator, and air conditioning – enough for a short stay. The room's balcony was also nice, overlooking a lawn, perfect for some peaceful relaxation. The only drawback was the poor soundproofing in the room. The room next door frequently opened and closed their door, sometimes more than ten times between 10 PM and 1 AM, and at one point, it was every ten minutes or so. Each time, it made a huge noise that felt like the bed was shaking, waking me up multiple times. I even started to wonder if countless people were staying next door. This kind of thing is really down to luck, but better sound insulation would have made for a less disturbing stay. **Service:** The front desk staff were very polite and enthusiastic during both check-in and check-out, which left a great impression. We were given two bottles of water and two warm cookies upon check-in, which was a thoughtful touch. The only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the suspected subtle racial discrimination from the restaurant's reception staff. I stayed here for three days and saw many other Chinese tourists. Not once did I hear the staff say goodbye or thank you to us when we left the restaurant. They would just stand there, pretending not to see us, but then smile and thank the Caucasian guests walking behind us. This happened every single time for three days, and they pretended not to see other Chinese guests leaving too. I have to wonder, is this how the hotel trains its staff? To provide different service based on race? These staff members, who were older and positioned at the restaurant entrance for greeting and guiding, were not the young, busy servers inside the restaurant, who did a great job. Based on this subtle differential treatment, I can only give the service three stars, no more.

Very clean and tidy, opposite the shopping center, McDonald's, go out and turn left along the street many Chinese restaurants, eating convenient. The front desk was very warm and friendly, the room service girl was also friendly, and they were all Chinese.

Very convenient to get to the airport especially if have an early flight to take . The restaurant is very handy too that do not need to go out to find a place for dinner the night before the flight

The Chinese owner made communication easy, and I was able to check in around 12 o'clock. The room was a bit old, but it had everything I needed, so it was fine for one night. Try to avoid rooms facing the street, as the soundproofing isn't great.

The place is clean n convenient. Staff was friendly n helpful. Great place to stay. Thank you
