Hotels With breakfast in Canterbury, New Zealand

The family room amenities were severely lacking. I forgot to take a picture of the bathroom, but it was incredibly small – the toilet stall was like something out of an airplane, and the shower was tiny too. The room itself was long and narrow. Instead of two chairs where they could have fit, there were two beanbag chairs. The 1.5-meter bed didn't feel like 1.5 meters, and there were no nightstands; the charging plug had to go on the floor. There was no bar or coffee table; the cups and tea bags were just placed on top of the mini-fridge. Hotel parking isn't free, costing $25, unless you park on the street, but then you have to move your car by 9:30 AM. The bottom bunk of the bunk bed was so low you couldn't sit up without hitting your head. The breakfast, however, was decent. Check-out is before 10 AM, and breakfast ends at 10:30 AM at the latest.

This hotel must be the tallest building in Kaikoura. If you're here for lobster, this is a great place to stay! The facilities are all new and the rooms are relatively clean. However, the front desk staff all seem to be Indian with very strong accents. We borrowed some cutlery from the hotel, and the guy from the front desk who delivered it was banging on our door, which startled us. His attitude when he delivered it was also quite bad. I can't believe we had to put up with the front desk's bad mood.

Second time I've stayed here. First visit couldn't fault. This visit Requested a room with a balcony when I booked three weeks ago. This did not occur Early check in as I was going to the cricket. Could not do Issues with the tv and not getting the channel I wanted Spa bath - did not work Lying in the bath, looking at the toilet from under the eye line. Totally discusting, big build up of unclean scum Even if the spa bath was working, no soap/bubble bath provided. Really quite disappointing as my last visit was great

I stayed in North south holiday park on the day of arrival and the night pre departure from Christchurch. It is located about 5 mins drive or 45 mins walk from CHC international airport. You can book their airport shuttle ($5 per pax) during operational hours or the front desk can order a taxi for you at a cheaper price. Amenities are complete and cleanliness is well maintained. The only set back is there is no eateries within short walking distance except burgerking, but not a problem if you come with a car or you can cook at their kitchen(with utensils provided)

Facilities: The room has a wardrobe, TV, table, chairs, and a luggage rack. Anything else you need can be found in the communal kitchen. The hotel's location is very convenient, with the airport bus route 8 going directly there. Across the street are a garden and a university. However, it's worth noting that the soundproofing is extremely poor; even a small sound from the corridor is clearly audible. If there are children shouting and slamming doors, it gets very noisy. The university bar across the street can also be quite loud on weekends, and early in the morning, around 6 or 7 AM, there are delivery trucks downstairs which are also noisy. In short, if you're sensitive to noise, choose carefully. For those not sensitive to noise, this hotel is highly recommended and offers great value for money! Cleanliness: Satisfied. Although the bathroom is shared between two or three rooms, it is very clean. Service: The dark-haired staff at the front desk were quite warm and friendly, while the light-haired staff were just average.

This hotel offers excellent value for money in Christchurch. It's about 7-8 kilometers from the airport, similar to a 'Home Inn' or 'JI Hotel' in China – well-equipped and comfortable. The front desk service was warm and patient. My child was sick, and when I requested a late check-out, the Caucasian gentleman at the front desk readily agreed. Thumbs up! 👍

The room was up 2 flights of stairs - no lift so a struggle with heavy suitcases. Room clean but felt the bathroom & especially the shower floor was very slippy when wet, felt very unsafe using the shower !! Might be ok for younger guests but not one I would recommend for older guests

Having stayed in so many hotels across the South Island, this was the first time I felt like I was back in a hotel in China. The plump manager at the front desk personally escorted us to our room and helped with our luggage – truly welcoming and enthusiastic. It's only after coming to New Zealand that you realize how much Chinese hotels pamper their guests, treating them like gods: 24-hour front desks, check-out times at 12 PM or even 2 PM, and amenities like disposable slippers readily available. They also don't rigidly charge an extra $30 per child like in New Zealand. Many hotels here simply don't have a concept of service; everything is pretty much self-service. This Sudima is one of the few hotels that can truly compare to those in China!

Spacious and good. The next day, I returned a rental car from Christchurch Airport. I was wondering if I would sleep in the city or outside. I was good at choosing this place. Save the cost and the hostel is very spacious. There's time to go to the airport, and we're walking around the valley of Hutshan. I had a rice cooker at a Korean restaurant.

You can check in at Achilles Motel reception next door. There is no elevator so if you have heavy luggage you have to carry it on your own if you get assigned on the second floor. Each of the room have its own parking space. Basic kitchen equipment with utensils for a light and easy meal. Overall happy for the price and bring some bath bombs if you like soaking in a hot tub.
