Fable Christchurch

8/10 Good

"Comfortable clean and cozy"

Distinction Christchurch Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stay here many times, love it everytime. Great spacious rooms, great location, always great service, I will always stay here. Oh and some amazing views from the top floor rooms. I was on level 10, could see everything from up there, even watching the planes come down to land at the Christchurch Airport. Thanks team, keep up the good work."

Quest on Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay at Quest. The facilities were spotless and really nicely appointed with everything you need. The staff were lovely and super helpful and went out of their way to accommodate a request I had with no bother at all. The Quest on Manchester is a great location, close to the city centre too. I booked a carpark with Quest and found this really convenient and for me worth paying extra for. Very highly recommend."

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Carnmore Hotel. Even though it was a last-minute booking and we only stayed for one night, the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They kindly upgraded us to a downstairs room at no extra cost after finding out my dad has difficulty with stairs, which we really appreciated. It was such a thoughtful gesture. The room was spotless, well-equipped with everything we needed, and the spa bath was a real highlight – our daughter absolutely loved it. The location was also great, with everything conveniently close by. The genuine hospitality and attention to detail made our stay even more enjoyable. We'd happily stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming place to stay."
