Top Strowan Hotel Reviews

Bealey Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff. Very convenient and good location"

Novotel Christchurch Airport

8/10 Good

"Location of the hotel is wonderful. The hotel and guest room was clean. Good work for the housekeeping staff. During check-in, one of the the night front desk agent appeared reserved and unapproachable. Having worked in hotel operations, I believe this interaction did not meet brand service standards. While I understand the challenges of night shifts and expected nothing elaborate, a simple, warm greeting is a basic courtesy that requires little additional energy and contributes meaningfully to the guest experience."

Sudima Christchurch Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent for airport access and the rooms were clean and tidy with everything you could need. The ability to small milk bottles from the front desk was a lovely touch. We found the rooms to be very quiet even though the hotel is on a major road and right next to the airport. I would definitely stay here again. Great stay."
