2-Star Hotels in Canterbury, New Zealand

Located near the fun Regent;s street with lots of restaurants and bars, near the convention center and cathedral, but a bit farther away from the Riverside market etc (10-15 min walk). Staff is friendly, kitchen is really big and has everything, with lost of fridges and storage space. I booked the room for myself, it was very comfortable. They provide big towels, which is nice. No hair drier though. Right next to bus stop to airport.

Due to the season, all the hotels in the area were booked out, so I had to stay in a dormitory room in this hotel. The hotel itself is nice. The room was very small, but clean and ok for this type of room. There is a shared kitchen, rest area, as well as laundry which is great. The location is 15-20 mins walk from the town center, but it’s ok. However, the service is not good. It was the male manager who checked me in. When I asked the manager if there was a breakfast option, he laughed at my face and told me: “Girl, your room is like what, 30 bucks and you want breakfast?”. This was really rude and unacceptable. Moreover, I didn’t even mean for the breakfast to be included in the room price, but wondered if I could buy one since I don’t have much experience of living in hostels. Therefore, I deduct some point for such an arrogant behavior from the staff who represent the hotel.

Very interesting hostel. I would definitely go there again. Negative was only the automated check-in which always makes a hostel less social.

It’s good to have free parking spaces, but it doesn’t feel very clean and it’s not hygienic. The cups have lipstick marks and the sheets are stained. , but the others will not be too dirty, this price is also very suitable and worth it, if there is a chance, you may also consider staying, only hope that the future health will be cleaned. There is a lemon tree outside.

This Hotel is part of a bar and other facilities. Bathrooms and kitchens are shared and there is only a wash basin in the room. Generally quite quiet despite music and live bands in the evening. Friendly service and about 15 minutes into the CBG by bus. A 24 hour Mcdonald's is 50 metres up the road.

I had a very good stay at Mackenzie Motels. The room was very clean, cozy, and comfortable — perfect for a quiet night’s rest. Fairlie is a peaceful little town, and the location was really convenient with a supermarket and laundry shop nearby. Highly recommend for anyone passing through or staying in the area!

Suitable for taking children. Our room sleeps 5 people, 3 single beds and 1 double bed. There is a kitchen in the room, the pots and pans are all complete, and there is a refrigerator for your own simple dishes. The hotel is very close to the city centre. Remember to bring toiletries, shower gel, shampoo.

Self checkin was easy and simple. No fuss. We arrived a couple hours early. Phoned the Mob No @ unmanned reception desk. Mgr gave us access code to our unit. Lovely cleaning lady arrived to complete finishing touches cleaning our unit but not expecting we had arrived early. No problem at all. Finished off her task. Our self contained unit no.2 was clean, warm & fresh. Parking space for our vehicle was great. Great value for money. Will definitely recommend staying there. Cheers

Location is great, just a few minutes from famous spots in the CBD. Easy check-in and staff are friendly. The unit could use an upgrade, the furniture and fixtures have wear and tear that comes with age. The unit is also cold, not enough heating.

A short walk to the main town and has ample parking on the street. Check in and out were quick and easy. The room and bathroom itself was clean and comfortable. Minor note was that the sound insulation between the rooms are not as superb, so you could hear faint voices from the other room.
