"I recently stayed at the Golden Hotel in Christchurch and had a mixed experience.
The location is convenient, with easy access to local attractions.
However, I found that it is more like a motel than hotel because our room is situated on ground floor that opens directly to the parking area.
And the most unpleasant part of the experience is - after the stay, we found out we got double charged by the hotel mistakenly, but the staff handled the credit card refund very quickly after we reported the issue, but we still suffered a loss due to exchange rate variation."
"Our late check in The hotel is very intimate to put a name on the door of the house and send an email at a glance
The hotel is very clean and the facilities are perfect. The parking space at the door is also very good. If you go next time, you will be fixed."
"I loved this motel the room was upto standard and me and my wife loved this motel and it was a very pleasant experience and service was great and great location very close to town and a bus stop outside the motel and the room had a heat pump and tv but the down side was the room did not have a telephone
I would like to ask the team at the motel to install phones as it would be good for guests to have access to a phone
I give this motel 5 amazing stars and highly recommend people stay at this motel"

"The hotel is close to the airport and is on the main road to Tekapo. The owner is Chinese. My plane is in the middle of the night. It is almost two o'clock to arrive at the hotel. The boss has opened the heating in the room and it is very warm in the room. Because of the late arrival, I contacted the password of the room key box in advance, but I didn’t think that the New Zealand hotel used a very old password box. After a long time, I didn’t open it. The boss heard the movement and helped open it. Hotel facilities are ok."
"The owner here is Chinese and very easy to talk to. We have stayed here several times. The environment and facilities are good and it is very convenient to travel."

"Nice car 🚙 hotel. There are all big and small beds in the room, and our family of 12 people live in and get what they need, comfortable and clean. The old couple take care of the hotel's daily life, warm and thoughtful."
"Upon arrival, the front desk staff was off duty
But the handover method for self-service check-in is very clear and easy to understand.
The room is quite large and well-equipped with a simple kitchen
The heating is very warm, the hot water in the bathroom is very strong, and electric blankets are provided
It’s very warm to live in winter, which is great~"
"What a lovely stay this was. Close and convenient to where we needed to be the next morning. Greeted by a vary gracious host who walked us to our room (never has this happened before at similar places we stayed at). Apartment was just what we needed for a family of 4 & so neat and tidy. Will definitely stay again. "
"The breakfast was nothing. The room I booked was okay. The equipment was OK but a bit old. The environment was convenient. The front desk staff were nothing overly welcoming but ok."

Very Good
GGuest UserI had a great stay at this hotel. The location was perfect just a few step away from the airport. The room was very clean and comfortable.
AAnonymous UserI stayed in Christchurch for one night while transiting. The room was of a decent size and had some food heating tools. I checked in late that day and the front desk was a Japanese grandfather who was quite enthusiastic. The TV in the room didn't work. The bathtub was not very clean and looked a bit old, but it shouldn't be a big problem if I don't take a hot bath. Fortunately, the shower head has a large amount of hot water.
AAnonymous UserA beautiful hotel with tropical / botanical gardens. Has everything you need, nice big park next to it. City center is not far; You can walk (20min) to it or 6-7 min by car. Enough parking places as well. Customer service can be improved overall.
AAh ZhuanWill definitely stay longer if I have the chance! The room was super super big and spacious. The only problem was we have to carry luggage up the stairs. Everything was super good, clean and comfortable
GGuest UserWe booked a family room and it was split into two floors where the top level had the big bed and the lower level had the twin beds, which worked well for elderly travelers. The interior was stylish and clean. Kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher and a range hood. Wish they could've provided ice. The only big downside was the parking situation where despite having a big carpark, they charge NZ$20+ extra for overnight parking.
HHelloI have given 5 stars to this motel for the service, cleanliness and amenities because each aspect of these beat my expectations! I am usually very conservative in giving reviews.
Initially I was expecting very basic service given it is a motel. But when I opened the door of the room I was quite surprised. You could feel the room is very clean and bright. The amenities are sufficient to make a simple meal for yourself. There is also daily housekeeping services as well (given it is a motel).
The staff at the reception are also very helpful. When I first arrived, the reception lady asked me where I planned to go and showed me the ways.
The motel is also close (5-10 minutes walk) to the Main Street at Riccarton and there are a lot of restaurants there. You can also take bus to the city centre which takes about 30 minutes including waiting.
The motel is also very close to the Christchurch railway station which is only 10 minutes walk, great if you are taking the scenic trains. There are also a number of shops near the Railway station and you can do some shopping for clothes, vitamins and fresh food too!
KKin-wa ChanHotel located in the city centre. River market just a few minutes away where you can find plenty of restaurants. Bus interchange hub is also within a few minute walk.
圣圣代千层雪This is a Chinese-owned motel located in the heart of Riccarton, next to the Chinese supermarket, about 4-5 kilometers from the center of Christchurch. We live in a two-bedroom apartment. The facilities and equipment are a bit dated, but they are still in normal use. The upper and lower floors of the room, each with a bedroom and bathroom, can be used for cooking, which is suitable for a family. The price is relatively satisfactory. Suitable for self-driving friends.
GGuest UserWe stayed in a double-bed room with private bathroom. The room was small but clean and functional. Bathroom was also clean with usual amenities (shampoo, body wash, handwash, hair dryer). There is a Woolworth 2 mins' walk away and airport is reachable on foot in about 10-15mins. The communal kitchen and lounge area was the highlight -- it's very spacious and the kitchen was super well stocked (lots of hotplates, microwave, oven, pots and pans, plates and bowls, cutlery, tea towel, seasoning, oil and lots of free food/condiments). We used the kitchen at about 5pm and it was fairly clean, but when we returned for breakfast at about 5am next morning it was a little messy from inconsiderate users who didn't clean up after themselves.
Only downside is that the soundproofing is quite poor, but considering its price and proximity to airport, it was something I can live with.
CcallmebycharGreat cozy room. Spacious ensuite. Love the body length mirrors. Just wish I had a window I could open rather than a sliding door that looks out to the street! and the Cleaners should come a little later in the day for those who like a sleep in.
