Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

Airport Gateway Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the airport shuttle, restaurant food was great. Everything was good would stay again"

Haka House Lake Tekapo

8/10 Good

"the location of the hotel is perfect, it is the closest one to the lake and the room have nice lake view. It have nice security system to protect our items. The service of the reception is really good. When we found the dryer in the laundry room is not working,they help us to get refund on the fees we pay. Yes,they have a 24 hours laundry room.but one of the dryer machine is not working,so we can only report it in the next morning."

Drifter Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"A cross between a hostel and hotel. Lots of young and happy travellers with a large hang out lounge/workspace/kitchen area for them. Bed was very comfortable. Excellent location so easy to walk everywhere and a block from the bus station. The bar makes excellent cocktails and the morning breakfast was excellent."

Christchurch City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is conveniently located within the city center and made it easy to walk to shops and many great restaurants. The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed at the hotel for a few days at the start of our trip and again on our last few days of our trip. We did purchase the breakfast option and what exactly was included seemed to be staff-dependent. During our first stays, we were not told of any restrictions on the breakfast menu. However, on our second stay, we got conflicting information: some of the mornings, the server pointed out which menu items were excluded from our breakfast options, and on another morning, a different staff was serving us and did not express any menu restrictions. The hotel does not have its own parking garage, but does have an agreement with a public parking garage within a short walk from the hotel; you only get charged a fee per exit which is a great deal, especially if you’re not driving everyday. There are only two public parking slots in front of the hotel so you may have to park around the corner and pay when checking in/out."

Lakes Edge Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The person who checked us in gave us a map, but it was to an RV spot, not the motel room. The room is nothing special - it’s functional and comfortable. What is special is the view. Looking out from the room over Lake Tekapo is spectacular. It’s an easy walk to town and to hiking trails. For the area it’s a good deal."
