We stayed here in july 2010 for three nights. On checking into our rooms we had been allocated the wrong rooms from what we booked so the hotel upgraded us to superior rooms for the error. The rooms were very comfortable although there was an obvious smell in one of the rooms of cigarette smoke, staff were very apologetic and... More

Nice friendly staff. Save NZ$50/day on parking compared to other hotels in the area if you have a vehicle. No road noise unless you open the window, with 'fresh' air when it is open. Good value meals & refreshments. 50 meters from that 'Dam Casino' :) Book on line for cheaper rates & book a 'superior' room for the few... More

We stayed for a night when attending a 2 day conference. They offered nice big clean rooms with very comfy beds. The conference was well catered for and the evening buffet dinner was very nice as was the breakfast buffet. The staff were friendly and knowledgable when questioned about what to do and where to go shopping etc. Wished I... More

My Wife and I stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights, we were impressed by the hotel staff, very professional throughout and the complimentary parking was a bonus as many inner city hotels seem to have forgotten this is important to guests. The hotel itself is very close to the centre of the city which made sightseeing easy... More

standard copthorne hotel with copthorne amenities. Difficulty getting into the hotel the evening we went. There were conferences being held and lots of cars double parked out front on a one way street, so couldn't park and drop off bags before finding long term carparking. Took 20 minutes going around the one way system in Christchurch before we found the... More

Conveniently located with rooms that are well sized and clean. Restaurant and breakfast were overpriced for what it was, and also internet costs are exhorbitant. TV was a CRT with poor reception, and my room was fairly noisy. On the last night of my stay, the aircon broke and could not be fixed. I was not offered any compensation. Having... More

On a romantic weekend away, my partner and I stayed for 1 night. Found the entry impressive. The staff were very helpful and the receptionist kindly gave us a free upgrade :-) much appreciated. The room was lovely although I was disappointed no flat-screen TV?  Also, not enough towels & soaps? Parking spaces are limited. Restaurant menu was set so... More

Helpful receptionist who let me check in before normal check in time as i'd just gotoff the plane. Comfortable room although I was unlucky to have a room wrapped around the lift shaft. Due to jet lag I was awake at 3am and they were still going up and down regularly. Good location, cathedral square within an easy walk and... More

We stayed here for 4 nights on a room only basis in December 2009 as part of our Honeymoon to New Zealand and Australia. We received a complementary upgrade to a suite. I think this was because there was a business conference on at the time and they'd used the smaller rooms for the delegates. As a result we had... More
