Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Like most people, we stayed here just the one night. The rooms were adequate, quiet and comfortable. It is a very short walk from the terminal to the hotel, which we appreciated at midnight. We felt the hotel was good value for money, paticularly when you compare it to the Novotel at Auckland Airport which is considerably more expensive. We can recommend a night here.

Hotel's Favourite
Stayed recently after my last visit just before lockdown v1 commenced in 2020. The hotel is a short walk from the airport terminal with a Countdown a 5 minute walk away plus all the eateries at the airport if you're not in the mood for a restaurant meal. The hot buffet breakfast is a great option and you can get to the city via public bus basically outside the hotel. Rooms are large, well-catered for with amenities and spotlessly clean. Front office staff were friendly and helpful, as were the restaurant staff. I'm not sure what it is, but Accor housekeeping staff are truly the best of most hotels I have stayed in. Highly recommend this hotel for any future stays.

I must admit...I was puzzled that the double beds were quite literally...doubles. I did not know that hotels worth their salt still had 'doubles'. But if you have more than 2 people in a room and don't want single beds...doubles is it. Heck..even budget hotels here have Queen size at minimum. That said. Beds, pillows etc were comfy. Shower is awesome. TV was great for Bledisloe 1. We had to get room service to bring us more towels etc. Somehow the fact that 3 were going to be staying in this room (as booked) was lost and there was only enough for 2. It's the small details, isn't it ?? Alas, I emailed Food Exchange back on 10 July to get a menu emailed back as there is not one on the Novotel website. At time of typing this, I am yet to get a reply and our stay has been and gone. Lovely views over the mountains at breakfast time..which was good because I needed something to look at while I chewed and chewed and chewed through very overdone bacon. I'd stay here again though. The intl airport is 2 mins away....so very close. We also asked for a late checkout which they kindly obliged us with...thank you.

Our room types are mentioned on our website, great to hear that you found them comfy and that you enjoyed the Tv for the rugby. I will pass on your comments to housekeeping regarding the extra amenities. Our menu is now located on the Accor Website so thank you for the feedback. Apologies about the bacon I will pass this onto our kitchen team. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Nga Mihi, James Wilson Hotel Manager

We stayed here as we had an early morning international flight. I quick trip to the terminal the night before to grab a trolley made the morning sooo ready, roll out of bed, zip bag up, chuck bag on trolley, check out and your at the terminal in 2 minutes. If you have an early flight do it you won’t regret it.

I stayed here for one night in July 2023. The hotel is extremely well located right beside the airport terminal. It's only about a 100-metre walk - no problem at all, and safe at night. There doesn't seem to be a parking area for the hotel but there are a few places outside where you can stop for five minutes. The rental car area is right beside the hotel - again, just a 100-metre walk. Despite its proximity to the airport there was extremely little noise. The hotel is very modern, attractive, and clean. The room was very large and had all the amenities - including a coffee machine! The breakfast buffet was ok - nothing special about it, just the usual hot and cold items. However, as the restaurant is on the top floor there's a wonderful view of the planes while you enjoy your breakfast. If you have been to the Novotel at Auckland airport, this hotel is very similar. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for an overnight stay before going off to explore the South Island. Very comfortable room. Could not hear the airport at all. Breakfast on the sixth floor had amazing mountain views. We arrived after midnight, so walking out the airport exit straight to our accomodation was great. Not far to drag the bags. Would highly recommend.

Only stayed one night but really enjoyed our stay. Bed was super comfortable, very modern and lovely rooms with awesome views and always something to look at being in a busy airport. Rooms are very quiet even though you are in the middle of an airport! We had dinner in the upstairs restaurant and our meal was amazing! Beautiful food and service was excellent too. Breakfast was buffet with was delicious with lots of choices. Parking is near the hotel and you park for free while staying at the hotel. We will definitely be back!

I like this hotel. It is comfortable and quiet, the rooms clean and modern, and the restaurant is good with good food and service, and a great view, especially at breakfast. But the hotel staff are not friendly and the benefits of being an Accor member are seemingly not applied here. I guess the power of the L word - loyalty - is less than the power of the M word - monopoly - at Christchurch Airport anyway. No welcome drink, no fruit basket in my room like I had at the Novotel Stevens Road in Singapore two days before (admittedly a high water mark!), and no late checkout. Well, they did offer me late checkout of 12 instead of 11 because of my status, but that’s the same as they offered to a colleague who is not even an Accor member. So if you are ok, as an Accor member with status, to be treated the same as a guest with no membership, then this hotel is good. The welcome drink doesn’t bother me. The late checkout I asked for was 2-3 hours. I actually would have spent money eating at the hotel restaurant having lunch had I stayed longer, but since they were so inflexible, I had lunch at the Airport Lounge.
