Top Cathedral Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Give

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place and conveniently located for exploring the city by foot. We appreciated the staff accommodating our early arrival, and storing our luggage was easy. Tea and coffee in the room was a nice touch. Recommended!"

Adina Heritage Christchurch

8/10 Good

"The property is in a lovely old government building with lovely architecture. Staff were excellent. There are steps leading up to the property which are tricky with heavy suitcases, however if you ask at reception they can open a side ramp up for you which was great. The property is very central and convenient for everything in Christchurch however we had a room at the front of the building, above the bar which was very noisy every night we stayed there. We did not find the bed comfortable as it was too soft, so sleep wasn’t great. Restaurant was excellent , all staff were great without exception. Thank you."
