Easy check in, great location close to areas of Christchurch. Room was clean, maybe a touch dated but for the price I thought it was great. Sliding door being the main entrance was a bit unique, but the curtains effectively blocked light and sound (for as much as you can in a city).

The main negative was the noise from outside (on the stairs, upstairs, adjoining room and from the street). Positives are that the location was convenient with or without a car; the room was quite spacious and functional.

The bathroom was great in the fact there was a nice long beautiful top along the length of the room where there was great room for your toiletries. The water pressure was very low. Under the shower curtain water leaked over most of the room but it was very clean. Good little kitchenette. I didn't feel very safe in this area of town
