I bet this was a very cool hotel a few years ago, however it hasn’t aged super gracefully. The frosted glass pod style bathroom is neat, however not ideal if you desire maximum privacy while doing your business. I can only describe the cleanliness of the bathroom as “ok” as the shower showed a significant amount of mildew in the corners and the frosted glass walls definitely had not been wiped completely clean for some time. The high traffic areas of the carpet were discolored, and the lighting was a little wonky. Though it has some shortcomings the location is fantastic, the bed was very comfortable, and the downstairs bar/bistro is decent. Decent place for a short stay, but it’s affordable for a reason.

If you’re spending a short time in Christchurch, I’d give them a go, but any longer may prove tricky. Rooms are small and the lighting console prolly needs updating. But the basic gym is much welcome!
