    Very Good
    It was very handy to the tram and tour picked us up from the hotel. Staff friendly, I was disappointed that there were no pamphlets, or brochures for us to pick up to organize tours. Registration was quick

    Great location
    Hotel situated directly opposite the cathedral. Rooms very clean. The bathroom was somewhat small but functional. The positioning of the sink, outside the bathroom and in full view of the bed was also a bit odd. The main flaw with this hotel was having to pay for WiFi, which in…

    Great Stay
    Overnight stay and was very impressed, room was spotless and very quiet. Had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious. Staff very friendly & hotel is central to shops and across the street is the Cathedral. Looking forward to our return visit next week.

    Hi! Do you have self service laundry in your hotel? What is the cost of washer & dryer cycles,please?
    Do you have parking?
    Yes parking is an added fee, though they usually put a bottle of water in your car which is a nice touch.

    Hi there! My fiancé and I are looking to book with you for our honeymoon in New Zealand! It’s our first experience there and we’re hunting around for some recommendations for places to stay in Christchurch through June 2018, is there any deals or promotions you could offer? Regards, Joanna Roth And Danniel Ferraro
    If you’re planning to stay at the Novotel in Christchurch like I did, I suggest look into the AccorHotels website and subscribe with them. They send out 40% discounts sometimes. If you like 4-5 star luxury I do recommend the Novotel which I was very satisfied with the place. If it doesn’t interest you, they’re some other hotels you could look into as well. Hope this helps 😀

    You have not reached the Novatel Hotel in Christchurch. I am just a very frequent traveler that enjoyed our stay at this hotel in Christchurch. I highly recommend it since has a great location to everything and was furnished beautifully. Staff was wonderful, rooms were great, food was delicious. Enjoy
