I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasts a great location right in the heart of the city, making it super easy to explore. The rooms I stayed in were comfortable and had a nice view, but they were a bit on the smaller side, which might not suit everyone. The service from the staff was fantastic; they were really friendly and willing to help. While the dining options were decent, I think there could have been a little more variety to choose from. Overall, the hotel is good value for money, but it’s not without its minor flaws.

The location is perfect for tourists, sitting right in the middle of town and close to tram stops, shops, and cafes. Plus, it's just a stone's throw away from the river Avon.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasted a great location just minutes away from the Cathedral and central attractions. The rooms were clean and quiet, providing a comfortable retreat, though they could've used a bit more storage space for a longer stay. The service was friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. However, I found the dining options somewhat limited compared to other hotels I've visited. Overall, it's good value for a short trip.

The hotel had a great, welcoming atmosphere and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms, however, were smaller than what I experienced at other places in New Zealand and had a less than ideal view. The dining experience had room for improvement, and while the facilities met my needs, they weren’t outstanding. Overall, the value for money felt a bit off, considering the size of the rooms compared to the price.
