We stayed in Warners for 2 nights as part of a 4 week trip. Its location couldn't be better - our room overlooked the cathedral. The rooms was clean and spacious with a big bathroom. I remember this hotel as a grubby backpackers years ago when I was travelling and they have done amazing things with it now! The rooms... more

Warners is a lovely old hotel in the middle of Christchurch. We stayed in one of their mid-range rooms, which turned out to be very spacious, tastefully decorated, and with a good view out over Cathedral Square. Location couldn't be more central, with easy access to all transport options. Staff were everything you'd expect in a proper hotel - friendly,... more

Short walk to bus stop. Directly opposite cathedral in great central location. Old hotel recently refurbished to a high standard. Clean and comfortable. Be careful of lift door only remains open a few seconds!!! Menu restricted at night in restaurant as the staff indicated they had been very busy during the day as it is centrally located and is open... more

We had our Christmas meal at the restaurant here and it was by far the worst holiday meal we've ever had. The meat was dry, roast vegetables uncooked, smothered in an awful cranberry sauce, etc. For $55, it was a huge disappointment and scam. If you're in Christchurch at a festive time, don't waste your money here. more

We stayed for one night and were hugely disappointed particularly considering the price. The building is in need of renovation and the lobby and communal areas are dark and unwelcoming. Our room was small, painted grey-green with a few pieces of old furniture. The wardrobe was in fact a hanger rail fixed to the wall and our room had a... more

Right in the centre of town, walking distance to everything....The cathedreal was right across the road. The staff were absolutely fantastic, in particular Sue..... I would reccommend Warners Historic to all my... more

Right in the heart of Christchurch, next to the Cathedral is this great place to stay. The room was very large and luxurious and the bathroom big and clean. Many famous Antarctica explorers used to come here and there is great memorabilia to show this. Staff was extremely nice and helpfull. In particular Ivan made us feel truly welcome. There... more

We stayed at the Warners for the first test of the Lions Rugby Tour. The Hotel is on Cathedral Square which is at the centre of Christchurch and yes the original sash windows do mean that it can be noisy - we stayed on the 2nd floor (Room 213) which was slightly better. The suites are on the first floor... more
