Top Canterbury Museum Hotel Reviews

Drifter Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome spot, awesome place, awesome people"

Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG

8/10 Good

"Property is clean, new and well maintained. Breakfast is good but because we don’t eat beef and pork we would consider your hotel having chicken sausages etc as we are limited to the options at breakfast. Also check in was very slow, frustrating especially when you are tired. Needs improvement. House keeping was poor too. We ordered some drinks and waited but never came."

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff. Excellent location. Clean. Comfortable bed. Thank you May."

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable, and a great central location. Having to rely on public paid parking makes up for the cheaper stay. A bit disappointed when I realised I got charged for an upgraded room that I didn't request and wasn't consulted about. Staff were helpful and relatively friendly. The room and gym are quite small, but clean and all the essentials covered."

The George Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"So great to have the gym right next door to use. Friendly staff and a great place to stay"

Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"All just fine"

West Fitzroy Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculately clean, excellent location and friendly, communicable staff. Highly recommend!"

Sudima Christchurch City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay as always, good location"

Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to facilities for walking, staff very friendly, 3rd time staying here, most likely I booked a smaller room then previous but it also looked a little tired. Bed amazingly comfortable"
