It’s so central near Avon, convention center and next to cathedral. Central Christchurch all walkable. Friendly staff
Very near to dining places such as Sakimoto an authentic Japanese restaurant at Cathedral Junction. Hotel had friendly staff. Breakfast at surcharge was good.
One of the staff at Reception by name of Mila was very helpful. She went out of her way to explain things, including suggestion for dining options, printed list of hotel room service in case we were too tired to venture out. Hotel was very central to tram rides, shopping and dining.
It was a wonderful stay in this excellent property. We were just finishing 10 days in a campervan, so it was just what the family ordered! Comfortable beds!
