Top Cathedral Square Hotel Reviews

ibis Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Close to everything, helpful staff."

Bealey Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, they did our room everyday and cleaned the kitchen and toilets. Kitchen is a little tight for lots of people and only had sofas under the stairs at the entrance as a place for people to relax. The fridge in our room was extremely loud so turned it off alot to sleep. But definitely would stay again"

Christchurch City Hotel

8/10 Good

"The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. However, the main reason I chose this hotel was for the rooftop bar and restaurant, only to find it's closed on Sunday and Monday nights. I also paid $53 for breakfast (for two) because of the great reviews from others. However, the restaurant was closed for the public holiday, so instead we were given a voucher to have breakfast at Ibis, only a 2 min walk away. Unfortunately, the food and drink were awful, and the staff unhelpful. If I'd known the standard would be so poor, I'd have asked for a refund instead."
