Hostels in Canterbury, New Zealand

Good priced hostel overall, but the kitchen is really small for the capacity of the hostel. Only one oven, 3 stove tops, only 5 forks(you read it right 5 forks, 5 spoons, and 100 knives). 3 fridges that area always full, no real lounge area and as a conclussion no much socializing. Only two shower heads off 6 had good pressure, the rest were more pissing (at the 2nd floor bathrooms). On the good side, the beds are comfortable. Overall ok for a quick stop in Christchurch.

The location is next to the road, so there will be noise at night when cars pass by quickly and the houses here are generally not soundproofed. But if the room is near the parking lot, maybe it can be improved. Everything else is perfect, because there is a living room and an open kitchen, two bedrooms (one with a single bed and one with a double bed), a separate bathroom with dry and wet areas, and a hair dryer, which is a great deal

The location is excellent. Following the hotel's directions, it's only a 10-minute walk, a route you won't find on Google Maps. There's a large supermarket and several restaurants nearby, which is very convenient. The bathroom in my room type didn't have an exhaust fan, so there was a constant damp smell. The common area is spacious, and the kitchen is well-equipped, but I strongly recommend bringing your own cutlery for hygiene reasons. The public cutlery is washed by guests themselves, and on the day I was there, several dirty dishes were left in the sink, and some tabletops weren't wiped clean after use, making the kitchen look untidy. Overall, it's a good place for a short stay, especially if you're catching a flight.

The room is large and spacious. Private full kitchen is provided for your cooking. The whole room is well partitioned into sleeping area, washing room and kitchen which are all tidy and clean. The manager is friendly and can chat with you on different topics. Wifi signal is strong.

Quite a nice location and the owner is very friendly! He introduced me places to visit in chc and the room lightning is quite good! Thanks!

The front desk staff were super friendly. I arrived an hour early and luckily there was a room available, so I was able to check in ahead of time. They even helped me with my luggage. The kitchen is huge and there's a pool table to play on. For early check-out, you just need to drop your room card in the box at the counter.

We arrived late at night on our first day, and after collecting our luggage, I called, and they responded very quickly. Within a minute or two of us finding Gate 2, the car arrived. Since it was so late, the driver even handled the check-in process for us, which was incredibly convenient. The next day, we had arranged to pick up our rental car and asked if they could drop us directly at the car rental company (I had originally booked a service where the rental company would pick us up from the airport). They readily agreed! We booked a one-bedroom suite, and while it looked a bit basic, it was very spacious and clean, so that was perfectly fine. _The hotel's restaurant was also good; we had one breakfast and one dinner there. Highly recommend for transit travelers.

You cannot get closer to Mt Cook than staying on property in their national park. The rooms are like mini apartments with a full kitchen, dining and spacious sleeping area. There is a walk out terrace in the back. The price for this ensuite was less than the Hermitage but I believe a better value for the quality. We spent 2 nights here to actually wind down (1 night is too short) and take advantage of the trails. There are so many. As we knew we were getting rainy weather going in, we picked up some groceries n Twizel to make soup and salad on the first night. We did a walkthrough of the museum and planetarium show which is a short drive (4 minutes). For our last night, we dined at the Alpine buffet restaurant in the Hermitage which had an amazing assortment and local seafood (cured Aoraki salmon, prawns, mussels). We thoroughly enjoyed and took advantage of all that this area offered. Beautiful natural setting. You will not be disappointed staying here. The word motel is deceiving as it's more like mini-suites.

Plocation was great, and the kitchen was very well equipped for cooking. One important tip — remember to do your grocery shopping before heading to Mount Cook. Otherwise, like us, your dinner might end up being Shin Ramyun while saying goodbye to steaks and meat for the night.

I thought this place was great. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped. The bathrooms were within our building which is great for cold nights. The communication was superb!
