This led to major storage issues in the 8 bed dorm and a rather cluttered room. - quite a walk into town compared with other places (I hurt my ankle on a trek though so may have felt longer than it actually was)"

"This place was adequate for our two-night stay. Strong backpacker vibe, with free breakfast (waffles, cereal, toast) and evening soup. Helpful staff. The location was great. The room itself was dated and pretty small. I'd say this is a case of you get what you pay for. It was very affordable and great if you're looking to connect with other travelers, but I think I would personally spring for a place a bit more modern with more amenities next time. "

Novotel Christchurch Airport

Novotel Christchurch Airport

5/5 Excellent
"beautiful accommodation in preparation for a very early morning departure. it was unfortunate the cafe on ground floor wasn't open (I arrived at checkin time) and when I ordered room service, I had to go to the 6th floor to look at a more expensive evening meal, I only wanted something simple. departure reception were busy on the phone so handed key, waiting for room service to be deducted from my credit card - pending authorisation amount is greater than the bill??? would recommend for those early departures"
