Rydges Latimer Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel, the staff were great and lovely as we traveled with 2 young kids. So patient with there energy. Room was quiet clean and well presented with everything we needed. Buffet breakfast was extensive with many options available and you could ask for additions ie poached egg, at no extra cost. Have now stayed here twice. Walking distance to Ruverside .market and The Crossing, shopping precinct. Parked the car and walked. I highly recommend this hotel."

"A very nice hotel located about a seven minute drive to the airport. They offer 24 hour shuttle to the airport for free. Rooms are very large. A big sitting area with table and chairs. A fully equipped kitchen. A heat lamp in the bathroom. Toiletries are provided. There are a number of restaurants within about a five minute walk. And the Local bus stop is nearby. About a 15 minute drive into the centre of Christchurch."
