Stunning rooms, great people and easy parking close to everything

10.0

Set in the most picturesque part of Christchurch, this hotel delivers more than you expect. The rooms are lovely five stars for them. Nespresso mini in the room which was great and very convenient.. but the staff are sensational seven Stars for the staff thank you Angela and Maya for making our stay amazing. They truly go above and beyond as did all the other staff we interacted with as well. It’s very well located near the botanical Gardens and a very easy walk to the Terrace food hub . Totally recommend this place.

Christchurch's Hogwarts Hotel: A Magical Stay We Wished Never Ended

10.0

This hotel was perhaps the most wonderful and surprising detour we took on our trip. From the moment we stepped inside, we wished we had booked a week instead of a couple nights. The building, a lovingly retrofitted old university, absolutely nails the vibe—if you ever wanted to know what it was like to stay at Hogwarts with better plumbing and faster Wi-Fi, this is your place. The atmosphere spills right into the neighborhood. We loved wandering past the artisanal shops and hearing the faint, delightful sounds of singers practicing from the nearby theatre. It’s like being in a charming European city square. And while you feel tucked away in this quaint haven, you're only a breezy 10-minute walk from the main shopping areas and a lively strip of restaurants, not to mention the bounty of food trucks right outside your door. Inside, the attention to detail is remarkable. Forget cookie-cutter rooms; each space genuinely has its own character and flair. But the true magic (and I mean truly, profoundly magical) is the free mini-bar snacks. They understood the assignment: happiness is complimentary gourmet chips after a long day. If you like history, character, excellent location, and being delighted by small gestures, book this hotel. It’s more than a stay; it’s an experience.

Perfect blend of historic character and contemporary comfort

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this hotel. It was beautiful and charming, both inside and out. There were so many things I was impressed by - the architectural detail (stunning stone and structural elements), history of the building, perfectly situated location (walkable everywhere and right across the street from the most beautiful botanical gardens), the court-yard feel, and the super-friendly staff. Christchurch is such an immensely charming city and I so enjoyed my time there.

A taste of luxury at a great price
