Great spot in CBD and on the list of many tour pickups. Having laundry on-site (paid) is a plus. Room was cozy but just what I wanted - simple, functional, comfortable. Would stay again.
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love this hotel. The staff is the best. The location is awesome, right in the heart of the city. I like the bar and the restaurant too. The rooms are small, but perfectly designed; like a cruise ship cabin in the middle of the city. I look forward to staying here whenever I am in Christchurch. Cheers.
