Jucy Snooze Christchurch

Hostel is spacious with good facilities and fabulous common area. Beds are v comfortable. There isn’t much interaction with the staff due to the size of the hostel.

My initial impression was positive. A great budget hotel at an airport...a rare find. I merely needed a six hour sleep from 2200-0400 since I had an early flight to Australia. The downside...no transport to the airport when needed for departure. Between 0130 and 0800 apparently the shuttle sleeps. So you can come in late but not leave early. Ok you can roll the km or so to the terminal if you know the path and have not much luggage. It is lighted. But you should not have to.

The pods are a place to bunk for the night when I get in at 12.30am. Better than the old bunk rooms in a backpackers this way you have some privacy.

Over-night stay, easy quick check-in. Brilliant bed very very comfy. Would stay again.

Great value accomodation, conveniently located within walking distance to air port & car hire facilities. Super friendly & helpful staff, 24 hour service, really professional business. Clean facilities in great condition. Simple, fast check-in / check-out. Thanks to everyone at Jucy Snooze.

We recently stayed in the jucy hotel in Christchurch, mainly because of its great location within walking distance of airport, jucy van hire, antarctic centre, shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was functional and clean, but we would recommend triple glazing. We thought the pods were fantastic! The communal area was a disappointment. The pictures on line were obviously taken when the hotel first opened. Now the area looks tired and dirty. The fantastic big windows had never been cleaned and were covered in spider webs and dirt. A weekly clean would give the place the sparkle it needs. As would the replacement of stained and dirty hammocks and cushions. More and better paid cleaners are needed to keep the kitchen clean. Existing cleaners are working hard, but are fighting a losing battle with dirty and disrespectful guests. Maybe more signs are needed encouraging guest to clean up after themselves. Or maybe jucy could have an ideas meeting on how to try to change the behaviour of inconsiderate guests. Please ditch the sexist pictures of women. The hotels and vans are a great concept and do not need old fashioned sexism. Obviously designed by men for men travellers, forgetting that about half of travellers are women. It is ironic that the feminist colours of green and purple were chosen for the hotels and vans! All in all ditch the dirt and the sexism and you are left with a great concept.

Thinking this was a 5-star facility we booked this 4-nights to serve as a base to explore the area and be near the airport at the end of our trip. That was a big mistake. The room had no desk no table no chairs just a small night stand and a bed. On top of that it was expensive (parking was $15 a day extra). Frankly the information on the hotel proved misleading to say the least and at best it was a fancy youth hostel. After some thought we decided to 'bail out' after the first night and accept the loss in order not to ruin the trip

The room is very very small. The shower door did not shut. The sink was blocked. We were woken at 2 am by loud music and workmen in the airport. Definitely would never return.

Not proper sleep pods..just a roll down blind. People coming and going all night, unpacking luggage, slamming doors. Neva stay here again, and not cheap!

Room was spacious and clean. Common areas were lovely. However, No water pressure in the shower, drain in bathroom didn’t drain water properly and there was a strange smell of sewer from the drain.
