Hotel was clean and in good repair. Staff were very helpful. I also liked the keycards and door hangers weren't plastic. When the windows were shut, you couldn't hear the street noise. However, the interior walls weren't as good at blocking the sound. Normal volume conversations were amplified. You can't use their wifi if you use a VPN; I confirmed with staff that that is why my wifi was failing. If you are calling yourself sustainable, don't use paper towels in the bathroom.

Place is a former YMCA, was in a private room. Room was clean with a spacious bathroom and nice ambience. Room was a bit hot without ability to directly resuce telperature, so had to open a window which did the job. Location was excellent being in vicinity of Hagley Oval and Christchurch city center.

Clean room, comfortable bed. But having a shared bath with 4 other rooms at the end of a hallway, and just down the hall from the laundromat and kitchen made for substantial noise from opening and shutting doors, dryers, and cooking smells. I stayed at this hotel two weeks previously in an en suite room on a higher floor and had a more pleasant experience at a nominally higher price. A great feature is this hotel's location, across the street from the botanical gardens and a 1 km walk to Cathedral Square. They also charge to park in their lot and the breakfast buffet, while pretty good, is an additional charge.

*We had was a deluxe queen we stayed for 8 nights. Room was spotless and clean when we arrived. Thought it odd that there was no air con as the rooms got quite stuffy and hot during early hours of the morning. We were lucky to have had a sliding door but found mozzies got in so that was the end of that. Noticed our room wasnt serviced everyday however room had great space, was comfortable and cosy. *Elevator was a drab as it took ages some days to get to ground floor or to floor 4. Had to wait a few times as the cleaners were using them during the day. Also found the elevator rather small. Noticed the doors were really dirty. *Laundry, somedays i would go to do laundry and found that there were duvets, cleaning cloths and tea towels in the washing machine or dryers. $4 per load per w/m and dryer. *Kitchen on level 1 had great space and clean, possible thought to supply a broom and dustpan so guests can sweep floors as cleaners weren't always around. Fridges were not clean found alot of spoilt food in there which we took upon our selves to empty into the bins. Loved the storage containers with condiments etc from guests who left for guest use very handy ** Staff were lovely and friendly. ** Parking was $25 per vehicle per day onsite ** Gym, this is situated next door and is at an extra cost. **Location is amazing right in the CBD found it quite quiet and serene staying here. Although the faults i listed seem much it really is a beautiful place to stay.

The lady that greeted us at reception was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and kind. Our room was just what we needed and pretty clean. Breakfast wasn’t included in our stay. The location is great. We very much enjoyed the Botanical Gardens across the street. Not far to city center. I love that they donate their profits. I would totally stay here again. Thank you for the memories!
