Only thing positive about our room was our "spa bath" a bath tub with jets in it. Room was smelly and dirty when we got in. Ok location but not great. not worth the price we paid at all more

Management response from
Andras Iranyi, Reservations & Yield Manager

Dear inbalny, Thank you for your honest comments. I was very surprised to see a negative comment on the performance of our Housekeeping department in your review. The feedback we receive from our guests regarding room cleanliness is virtually 100% positive and we pride ourselves in the high standards we provide in this area. As you can see on Tripadvisor,...

We spent the weekend in Christchurch and was very pleased with the accommodation. The studio apartment was perfect for just the 2 of us. After working 8 days in a row, i was able to relax fully. The bed was very comfortable. I slept well both nights. The small kitchen, was perfcet enough to make breakfast both mornings. I would... more

We chose this hotel for a one night stay because it was one of the only central hotels with free parking which was a big bonus as other hotels in christchurch with parking can cost up to $20 a day. We booked online an hour before arriving and were upgraded to an executive room as the receptionist said they hadn't... more

Spent only two nights at the Latimer, definitely should have stayed more! Upon check-in the staff knew my name and was very attentive. Hotel room was gorgeous and very spacious. The restaurant had an amazingly delicious menu and the bar was cozy, friendly, and had some regular locals. The front desk made reservations for my activities and helped me navigate... more

Stayed here for 5 nights. Friendly and Helpful Staff. Very clean rooms. Good size. Had a wonderful time. 5 minutes walk to main shopping amenities. Room Service very quick with delicious inexpensive meals. Housekeeping cleaned rooms spotlessly every day. Highly recommended for all kinds of travellers. Only downside was the man upstairs with the heavy feet - but he only... more

We booked this stay as a Wotif mystery hotel, and were a bit disappointed in the quality of hotel in light of the price we paid. The hotel has been renovated a number of times, but the rooms are very basic and motel-like. On our first night, we were upgraded to an "executive" room, which seemed rather ordinary--nothing exceptional at... more

The Latimer is located just outside of Christchurch City Centre in a suburban area, approximately 5 minutes walk from the cathedral and main shopping area. The local vicinity has an "interesting" feel to it....couldn't put my finger on it precisely, but there was an edginess walking around some of the streets near the hotel after dark. Something I didn't feel... more

Good location and reasonable size rooms. We were given a disabled room on the ground floor which was dark. Room size OK and reasonable quiet. We would stay again but stayed here as the Chataeu on the Park was full up and this is a much nicer Hotel more

Stayed here on spec. as let down by previous accommodation. We had a suite for less than some B & Bs, very smart, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Quiet location, short walk to Cathedral Square, very good value for money. I'd recommend it without hesitation. more
