    Particularly good and incredible setting, I didn't want to say goodbye.

    I had a wonderful experience and would happily go back again. The room was kept clean and available with well-designed, free WiFi and a queen bed. Location: the hotel was right by Westfield Riccarton and The Hub in Hornby, and restaurants, a Countdown supermarket, and a pharmacy. It was 1 mi from Van Dam's Cafe, offering quick-service food...

    This hotel offers excellent value for money with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a separate bedroom for added privacy. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The location in a good area is ideal, with easy access to the airport and the city center. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast with a variety of options, including a standard Continental, is a great perk.

    A minor issue with the heater.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in Christchurch and had a fantastic experience. the location was ideal as it was situated on a busy road, providing easy access to the city center. Despite this, there was minimal traffic noise, ensuring a peaceful stay. Additionally, the hotel was conveniently located near a bus stop, making it extremely convenient for exploring the city.

    I had a very pleasant stay and could not fault anything.

    During my recent Christmas stay, I really appreciated the great value for our family of four. We were able to find a room with a separate bedroom that fit our budget perfectly. Plus, the public transportation options nearby made it easy to get around the area. One of the best aspects of our stay was the helpfulness of the receptionist, who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.

    There were a few minor maintenance issues that detracted from an otherwise pleasant visit. The coat hook behind the bathroom door was broken, the bathroom mirror light was out, and the desk drawer handle was broken.

    I had a fantastic stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The staff here were incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The accommodation was well-presented and offered enhanced comfort, making me feel like I was truly being pampered. The location was superb, with convenient proximity to the airport and a nearby shopping center. The keyless electronic entry system provided added security, giving me peace of mind during my stay. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, even including a clothing iron. I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service, comfortable rooms, and prime location.

    I highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    During my thanksgiving stay, we were pleasantly surprised with two complementary drinks that we enjoyed. the location was great as we were able to walk to several attraction areas nearby. the room was spacious and had good natural light, making us feel comfortable and relaxed.

    The overall experience was disappointing. the bed was uncomfortable and had a strange smell.

    My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The location was perfect for me as it was very close to the airport, and there was even a bus stop right around the corner. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and I had a great experience with them. The hotel facilities were very clean and tidy, and I really enjoyed the breakfast that was provided.

    Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

    This hotel is a great find with its central location in a good area. It offers great value for money and the prices are reasonable in comparison to other options in town. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The rooms are basic but well-appointed, with separate bedrooms for added privacy. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the continental breakfast was included in the price, a nice touch that added value to my stay.

    All was well, with just minor room issues.

    Conveniently located in the heart of the city, this hotel offers easy access to the airport and the University. While the street outside can be busy, the double-glazed windows provide a peaceful retreat. Rooms are well-equipped, with heaters and comfortable beds. the bathrooms may be in need of renovation, but the staff provides friendly service and artistic touches like folded towels. While the soap dispensers could use an upgrade, coffee lovers will appreciate the complementary plunger coffee. Despite the need for some upgrades, this hotel offers a comfortable stay at a reasonable price.

    Conveniently located near the airport, the Apollo Motel provided us with a comfortable and clean room for our short stay. The friendly and helpful management ensured we had a pleasant experience. Although the room was a bit small, it was well-appointed with all the necessary amenities. The motel's proximity to shops and attractions made it a convenient base for exploring the area. Despite minor drawbacks like road noise and limited parking, we would still recommend the Apollo Motel for its overall value and convenience. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a convenient and comfortable stay.
