Hotels With bar in Canterbury, New Zealand

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The kitchen and shower rooms are also very clean. I'll definitely stay here again next time I need a hostel in Christchurch.

I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting this to be a 5 star place, but there were a lot of things that were definitely not 5 stars. The robes were grey and didn't cover bigger people. One of them had pilling all over it, I didn't want to even wear it. The bathroom door squeaked loudly, so if one person got up to the toilet in the middle of the night, it woke the other person up. There were instructions on how to use the spa bath, but not on how to put the plug in. It didn't just plug in normally. We weren't able to use it on our first night which was very frustrating as it was one of our main attractions. I rang housekeeping the next day. Someone came and had a look and said that you had to turn a know on the side of the spa, how would anyone know that? The lock on the door to outside was broken and a small slide lock had been put on. Why not fix the main lock? I used the toilets to the side of the library and when I washed my hands, the tap was all loose and wobbled round. All these things are little but show that the lodge needs to have things fixed or updated. For $300 per night, you expect the best. The worse thing was on our last morning, we got to breakfast about 8:45, the restaurant closes at 9:30 am. There was continental and scrambled eggs and bacon. At about 9:00 am they stopped bringing out anymore bread to toast. No more croissants, eggs or bacon were brought out. There were about 6 tables with guests and everyone kept going up and checking, but they didn't refill. People were saying, they must have run out of food! But for some reason the waiter kept lifting the lids to the egg and bacon to see what was in there, but of course there was nothing as he hadn't refilled it and he was the only waiter!! I was really disappointed and wouldn't recommend it, unless you are getting a really good discount.

We stayed for 3 nights. Location is wonderful. 3 min walk to Regent Street where we ate our meals for 3 days straight. New modern vibe. However, during the 3 nights, every night there is few min of power outage, blackout in the room. Wat are the chances? I ask the counter but they hv no explanation.

We arrived on a cold evening. The front desk was able to provide us with an upgrade from King to King Studio. Was pleasantly surprised on the spaciousness and amenities provided. A small kitchen with induction stove, a big microwave, dishwasher, and a fridge. In the washroom, a towel heater, washer and dryer was very convenient and make our stay comfortable. The AC is strong enough to provide a comfortable stay during the winter. Clean room and everythings new. Power sockets are conveniently located. Personalized check in and check out time is not 24 hours but it's possible to do by contacting earlier. Plenty of free on-street parking is available from 6pm to 9am and the hotel does provide charged parking spot for NZD20/night. Location is super convenient if looking to walk around the downtown area with the Victoria Square just 10 minutes walk away and Market St just 15-20 minutes walk. It's also walkable to the Botanic Garden. Overall, a surprisingly pleasant place and would like to stay again if I'm back in Christchurch. All photos are mine and none edited.

This hotel is about an 8-minute walk from the Intercity bus terminal. Its convenient location puts major tourist attractions, supermarkets, and restaurants all within walking distance. What I appreciated most was how kid-friendly it is. It started with them gifting my children bird plushies (worth about $15) at the souvenir shop, and there's also a kids' play area. This was a lifesaver when the kids got tired of sightseeing and perfect for burning off energy before bedtime. Regarding amenities, they lean heavily towards sustainability, so if you want to be extra comfortable, it's probably best to bring your own. They provide a hairdryer, iron, towels, shampoo, and coffee/tea, but no water, toothbrushes, bathrobes, or slippers (which might be standard for hotels in New Zealand). Tissues are provided but not replenished when used up. The central heating didn't seem to work very well, which was a shame, but we managed with the extra blankets they provided.

This accommodation is massive. The front desk even gives you a map at check-in to show you where to park and how to get to your room. So, I'd suggest leaving your luggage in the car until you get your room key. The location is unbeatable, right across from the Tekapo Visitor Centre, and within walking distance to the supermarket, dining area, and the Church of the Good Shepherd. However, I do have to mention some downsides. Being close to the lake also means being close to the main road. Even after 10 PM, you can still hear cars driving by. Plus, you can't really stargaze from the balcony because the headlights and streetlights from passing cars are too bright.

We had a wonderful stay at Novotel Christchurch Airport! The room was modern, new, and very nicely designed, making it a comfortable place to stay before our morning flight. The biggest highlight for us was definitely the location — it’s within walking distance of the airport, which was so convenient and meant we didn’t have to rush or worry about getting to the airport early in the morning. The breakfast was also lovely, with a great selection and a nice view overlooking the airport. And the ice cream was such a pleasant surprise! Overall, a very comfortable and convenient stay, especially for anyone with an early flight. We would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is great, the bedding and room temperature were very comfortable. It's right next to a park, and parking is very convenient. They even give you a cookie when you check in 🍪, which is a signature touch at Hilton DoubleTree hotels in New Zealand.

The hotel was truly amazing and a wonderful place to call home for a few nights. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything! Oven, microwave, dishwasher, stove, utensils…everything! We were pleasantly surprised that there was a washing machine and dryer too! There is a working fireplace and the views were stunning ❤️Ours was the two bedroom villa; one room has a bathroom attached with a jacuzzi tub and the other bathroom is not attached to the second bedroom. This bathroom has a shower only, no tub. The second bedroom is actually two super singles joined together so you could possibly request for that configuration. We found that the shower stall in the smaller bathroom has a poor design as water flows from the shower through the grooves between floor tiles and makes the whole place wet. This was perhaps the only down side to this place. The good at the restaurant is reasonably priced and wonderful quality. The location of the hotel is strategic for trekking to the Rakaia Gorge and also for driving to Edoras (or Mt Sunday) where LOTR’s filming took place.

The room was spacious, and the kitchen and living room were excellent and well-equipped. The service was very attentive; someone helped with luggage to the room, and the airport transfer was arranged quickly and efficiently. The location is also very convenient for catching a bus to the city center, just a short walk away. The welcome milk was a nice touch. My only minor complaint is that the bathroom felt a bit old-fashioned.
