Travellers' Choice
Rendezvous Hotel Christchurch is centrally located just one block from Cathedral Square and right next to the Christchurch Tramway, allowing you to jump on a restored vintage tram for a tour around the city. If you’d rather explore on foot, the city’s beautiful Botanic Gardens, Hagley Park, Canterbury Museum, and Cashel Street’s trendy Re:START mall are all an easy walk away. Christchurch International Airport is only 25 minutes by car, meaning you can be off the plane and checked-in by the hotel’s friendly front desk staff in no time. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the chic hotel bar or drop by the in-house restaurant to sample contemporary cuisine featuring the best in-season ingredients from around the region.

It is in a handy location but the hotel itself has very tired rooms with very very small windows and very noisy plumbing. The heating was erratic and when we came back in on Sunday the cleaner had turned the heating off...it took hours to heat it again

Dear marcusmcmahon1, Thank you for taking the time to post your review on TripAdvisor. On behalf of the whole team, please accept my sincere apologies for the unpleasant stay you experienced. We strive to ensure our guests experience the best visits possible during their travels and we fell short of our goal this time. I completely understand how frustrating this must have been and I am truly embarrassed you experienced this during your stay. This is not the kind of customer service we strive for and generally maintain in our hotel. Once again, thank you for sharing your experience with us and we hope one day in the future you may give us the opportunity to atone for this occasion. Kind regards, Faisal Sayed General Manager

Staff were friendly and tried to be helpful. Room was nice and clean and had everything it needed. However... we were staying two nights, were woken at 8.30 on the Saturday morning by frantic knocking by the cleaning staff. We rushed to the door and they wanted to service our room - we were still sleeping! I paid $50 for two nights of valet parking. They took my keys etc, which would have been fine - except they left it park on the footpath side of the security gate so it may as well have been parked on the street. I really don't see why I should have been charged an additional $50.00 for parking I didn't get. Then the second night, we wanted room service - restaurant was open the previous night and no signs were up stating it was closed. So we called... oh, the restaurant is closed during the weekends! What? Where's the signs? My partner requested my car be moved when he went out to get food (he walked) and we were told they were too short staffed. Again, why did I have to pay for valet parking? If my car was going to sit in the driveway all night, I could have kept my keys!…

Dear teressaw2014, Thank you for taking the time to post your review on TripAdvisor. I am truly sorry about the housekeeping team member knocking on your door. This is not a common occurrence at our hotel and it should not have happened. This has been reiterated to the housekeeping team to ensure it does not recur. Regarding the car park, this was miscommunication from our team. Your car did not fit in the standard stacker system we use. We have several spaces for sedans, but limited number for larger cars. This should have been communicated to you. The team member decided to keep the car in our driveway due to the fact that it can be monitored by us at all times via our camera system, so we knew it was secure. I checked your bill and you were only charged for one night parking. This, however, has now been cancelled and a refund done to your card. I empathise with your comments regarding the restaurant. We have taken them into consideration and we will ensure we communicate better with our guests in the future. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We hope you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the future. Kind regards, Faisal Sayed General Manager

Cleaning staff were excellent, food was and up and down, drinks were good. Rooms were small and a lack of ventilation. Parking is a bit expensive, but still better than leaving your car outside overnight. The location is also very good. Reception staff were eager to help with any request.

Absolutely amazing experience, special mention to Duty Manager Sarah who went over and above our expectations. My ute was too tall for the valet parking, so she accommodated us by putting it in a safe driveway with full view of the cameras as I had used street parking the night before and someone had gone through my ute tray

Very kind and helpful staff, a welcoming place from check in to check out. Clean and tidy, well looked after and organised :) arrived for business, first time we had been to Christchurch. We were welcomed and swiftly directed to our rooms where they offered to move our car to the parking provided. The menu had a great variety too with the option of delivery or dining
