Well set in the centre of Christchurch, Drifter Christchurch provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. The accommodation offers entertainment staff and a 24-hour front desk. Location, cleanliness, environment, facility. Location is so good, just next to bus station (interchange), just get off bus from airport..1 min walk to get into Drifter Christchurch. Bus to Akaroa or to Tekapo/Mt Cook...also right next to the hostel. So good that no need to rush with all luggage. Cleanliness in room, shared toilet/shower, social area, kitchen. Environment -- I really like lighting, decoration in social area, feel warmed Facility -- my first time to use virtual key through App which is cool and make me feel safe. The bunk bed seems stronger than other hostel (at least the best in my whole trip) so I wasn't afraid bothering others all the time.

This 5-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service. Private parking is available on site. Breakfast was a decent continental.the coffee in the breakfast room was not as good as the coffee in the conservatory. The room was beautifully designed with all that was needed. The history and beauty of the building have been loving incorporated into the hotel.

Situated in Christchurch, 1 km from Canterbury Museum, The Mayfair features accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a restaurant and a bar. With free WiFi, this 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The property is 1.2 km from the city centre and less than 1 km from Christchurch Art Gallery. Wow what a nice hotel. It truly feels and looks like a 5 star hotel. It was super clean and the rooms were quiet which made it feel like I was at home in my own comfort. There is a restaurant at the bottom and I highly recommend it. The chef is French and it honestly shows in the passion he puts in each plate. Great place overall
