The hotel is warm and welcoming, and is busy with local and international travellers. It is not a five star property, and like many buildings in Christchurch, it bears the signs of repairs. Once you accept that it is not a premium property, and is not recently renovated, then the things that the staff can affect seemed to me to... More

We stayed at the Rydges twice. In the beginning of our trip to New Zealand and at the end of our trip. Our rooms were old but very comfortable and clean and the grounds are so beautiful and tranquial. Do not be put off by the minor cracks on some windows and supports at the second section of rooms. They... More

We arrived here at 11pm (after a long day at Franz Josef and a long drive) and got up early to go to the airport in the morning. The photos looked good and reviews seemed good, but it was very dated and tired. Needs a complete overhaul. Service would be described as 'disinterested'. We felt let down and relieved it... More

I know that the terrible earthquake that killed so many people in Christchurch last year was so sad and this was the first time back to this hotel since then as the last few times I've stayed in Christchurch, I stayed at the Roma or Riccarton but they were full last night so my company put me back into the...

We found this hotel very comfortable although the room was very dark as there were a lot of tall trees outside. The staff were pleasant and the breakfast was really excellent. It was very convenient to get the hotel shuttle to the railway station for the TranzAlpine trip, though the next day we had to get a taxi as our... More

Had booked to stay in Rydges Christchurch but the quake put paid to that. Had seen good reviews of the Chateau and so booked two nights 3-5 Feb 2012.Not disappointed as we got a ground floor room and there were no tremors when we were there. It is near Hagley Park and there are plenty of shops/pubs nearby. More

Just stayed the one night having arrived in Christchurch and needing a hotel before catching the Trans Alpine train. The Chateau, like much of Christchurch, is still in a state of recovery from the earthquake. It is ideally situated for a stroll across Hagley Park to the city centre, but so sad to still see the devastation there. The hotel... More

Very nice hotel, very helpful staff, my kindle needed re-charging, and they did it for me at reception. It suffered some damage in the earthquake, and is in the process of being repaired. Very good breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. More

We spent 4 nights here prior to flying back to the UK and what a good choice it turned out to be. We knew nothing about the hotel and rather pulled it out of the hat, particularly as most of the city hotels are shut. Yes, the large guest rooms are fairly plain and simple and do need a style...

Rooms are very comfortable but the decor and the furniture is very 70s. Having said that, we had a very pleasant stay here. Staff are friendly and helpful, though checkout was v.e.r.y. slow. Everything you need is in the bedrooms which are treasonable sized – and there’s free wifi!!!!. The bistro is reasonably priced and the menu range is fine.... More
