Hospitals in Christchurch

“I've been coming to this place for years, since it opened and love it for a quiet sit down. The cheese scones I genuinely rate as the best in New Zealand. Very unique, light and fluffy on the inside with a nice crust on the outside. Huge too.”

“Arrived in a monsoon and was soaked. Owner (David?) gave me a towel and fetched a bigger umbrella for me, so I could get to the supermarket without getting another soaking. He was so kind and thoughtful with a great sense of humour. I often saw him talking to the guests. The room was fabulous value for money. Big comfy bed, walk in wet room/shower with seat and handrail if needed. Little kitchen area with kettle, toaster, hob and microwave. Nice wardrobe and two bedside tables with drawers. Really cosy. Room was serviced everyday which I didn't expect either....really excellent service. It's about a 20-30min walk to shopping centre and botanical gardens etc. Buses run there too. Supermarket 5min walk away. I'll defo stay here again!!!!”

“Second time staying here. Again a lovely stay. THANK YOU for allowing us to book in way earlier than the stated time. Will comeback again fir sure.”

“Excellent location and great value for money. Rooms are modern and clean with comfy beds and warm showers.”

“Such great customer service. They replaced our sheets, washed the dishes and left new towels for us every day. The communication was also clear and fast. Even though it is near a main road the traffic was light in the evenings and the rooms have double glazing, so I was able to get a great sleep. The heater was left on before we arrived so the room was nice and warm. Also really competitive pricing. Thanks!!!”

“Very clean and central! The bed and sheets felt top quality too! Great spacious clean shower. The reception man was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend! I’ll be back for sure!!!”

“Great motel, lovely staff, room was super clean and comfortable, plenty of amenities and free guest laundry was a bonus! We stayed a week here and couldn't have been more comfortable. Happy come back.”

“Everything you could want. Very clean. Friendly accommodating staff”

“Cozy hostel in the heart of Arthur's Pass Village. The owner Tash is fantastic and very responsive over phone (if you don't see her in-person) if you need anything (I had an check-in issue from booking third party). Large size community kitchen with everything you need. Dorm and lounge areas were very spacious and had all the basic necessities.”

“great location, spa suite was lovely, clean, fairly modern, had everything you need. staff very friendly and helpful . will definitely stay here again next time we are in chch. thank you!”

“Myself and two family members came to stay in November for surgery. The dates changed from a few nights, to a week, then to 2 weeks. Rose was incredibly accommodating, she made us feel like we were at home. Rose is an Incredibly beautiful person and me and my family would return there anytime we go back to Christchurch. Rooms are dated, but still nice and very clean, lots of heaters for winter, rooms were very large with full kitchen. Absolutely worth 5stars, lovely owners who genuinely appreciate and go out of their way for their guests”

“It wasn’t just a hostel—it was my home. Over the past six months, I made so many wonderful memories with amazing people. Everyone was always kind, welcoming, supportive, and considerate. Karen keeps the place clean and cozy, provides organic eggs, and cares about how we’re doing. Antony shows up whenever we need him and can fix just about anything. Lucy, the staff member, is the friendliest and most amazing person! And I miss Pipi the cat so much. The location is great—15min walk to the CBD—and the environment is very safe. I feel so lucky to have spent such a valuable time at Chester St Backpackers!”

“Great hostel in a good location. Parking space at the hostel, but if that's full there is plenty of street parking. I loved the design of the hostel with different houses and a lot of grass space. Good security in the hostel as it has a card key for the building and each room. And there is also a safe for each person in the room to use. Each bed has two USB plug and two outlets. My only complaint was that the beds were pretty uncomfortable and springy, but I really enjoyed the hostel and it's a great value so I'm still giving it 5 stars. Kitchen was soooo impressively clean and so were the toilets and showers. Each one is separate and you get your own space in the showers. Lastly, cool staff! Thanks for being so chill!”

“This was a real great find. Stayed somewhere different and chose here due to location and a kitchenette. Room was clean and nicely appointed. Staff were super helpful and friendly and it is only a short walk to the shops and a short commute to the city. Will definitely be staying here on my next trip.”

“A decent motel with comfortable facilities and a central location. The motel overall has a slightly dated look, bit the facilities and furnishings are modern. The room was spacious, comfortable bed, decent furniture, modern bathroom with newer fittings and ample amenities, while good kitchenette and appliances. The car parking however is very tight and with a bigger vehicle it gets tough to park and take out vehicle. Location wise is pretty central. Good value for money and recommended for a short stay. Below is the detailed review: Location: The motel is ideally located with a 5 ~ 10 min drive across major attractions in the city. Access to and from airport is also straightforward. Walking to places may take slightly longer but it’s a walkable city so no issues at all. Rooms: The rooms have a nice large king size bed, with clean and comfortable mattress, pillows and sheets. The room had nice cane made chairs and a table. The closet has decent hanging space, and it also contained the iron and ironing board. Decent space to keep the luggage as well, along with a flat screen TV of smaller size. The kitchenette had plenty of crockery and kitchen ware along with a decent toaster, slightly older electric kettle, and a microwave oven. Bathroom: The bathrooms are relatively modern, with a separate shower cabin. The water pressure in the shower is not the best despite the bathroom being on the ground floor. The wash basin is also a bit small and water splashes out which is not convenient. Shower cabinet contained bath gel and shampoo only, while a small moisturizer bottle was provided in the bathroom. The hair dryer is fixed in the bathroom and is of a decent size. The towel rack is also heated. Plenty of towels were provided including hand, face, and shower size. Additional toilet paper and air freshener was also provided in the bathroom. Additional Facilities: The WIFI signal and speed was very good. The laundry has two machines and one dryer, for which the dryer was out of order, however alternate option was provided through reception. The car park has 1 spot for each room, but the parking space itself is too tight and gets difficult to park and take out the car when the lot is full. Staff: It’s managed by the owners who are an older couple and very helpful people. They made good arrangements for our late check in and also helped us with additional parking spot that was available. The cleaning staff were also very efficient and nice people.”

“Love our Sunday country music afternoons at this place once a month. Sandi and her daughter run a great bar. They're friendly and accommodating.”

“Best coffee's in Rangiora by a long way. Awesome, super friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Perfect location, opposite to shopping centre and plenty restaurants are in walking distance. Room was bit small but worked find for us as it got spa too. Staff was really friendly. Place was nice and clean. Highly recommended.”

“ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS 10/10. Ace host's, beautiful accommodation. Very very helpful and a good laugh too. Fiona could be my mum any day even though she's a year younger. Big thankyou for putting us up. Xxx”

“Popped in for lunch today, BEST Thai food I have ever had! Great customer service too”

“These guys consistently present lovely food and the staff are thoroughly professional and friendly. If you want to enjoy a well run cafe then this is an excellent example the owners are very lucky to have such good staff”

“Lovely and helpful staff. I dropped some cans and they instantly came for help and offered to get me a new pack instead. Marvelous, kind, considerate and human. Love the staff in this store. They're doing an amazing job.”

“Fantastic golfing experience. Great layout. Fairways the best I’ve ever hit a ball off. The staff are a credit to your business. I wish I could remember your names individually as you’re an absolute credit to your employers. From the course Marshall who approached us to take pins out as we putted to apologising for the slowness as it was the members medal day. Which he didn’t have to do as I was thoroughly enjoying the day (again I’m hopeless with names but what a fantastic bloke who came and asked me in the clubhouse how my round went) Also the young proshop or manager who asked me how my day went as I sat for a beer. Great hospitality and I can’t wait to come back. 10/10 experience.”

“Great cheap affordable private rooms available”

“We stayed here twice recently on our way in and out of NZ. The service was amazing. Each person we spoke with was friendly and helpful. The woman who works the night shift and does the shuttle runs in particular was incredible. The rooms were clean and well maintained. There’s an onsite restaurant and playground. The shuttle service was very much appreciated as we had one of the last flights in and first flights out. We would definitely stay here again.”

“Good location close to airport. Nice clean room”

“I had a great stay at Scenic Hotel Cotswold. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean, tidy, and comfortable—just what you need for a relaxing visit. The location was also a big plus, being close to amenities which made it super convenient for getting around. Overall, I was really happy with the service and the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay.”
