In Christchurch, a self-driving transfer station in New Zealand, I found this old building from 1917. It is very unique and the interior decoration is very eye-catching. It is surrounded by the Art Center and opposite the Botanical Garden. However, the windows are not soundproof, and the sound of tourists talking and vehicle loading and unloading outside is very loud, especially in the morning.

The location is super good, just a few minutes walk to the Avon River and the Botanic Gardens. The hotel is very unique and has obviously been renovated. It is very clean and the bedding is very comfortable. The experience is really great ~

The location of the hotel is great, right across from the Botanic Garden, a converted university, surrounded by art centers and restaurants, all very good. It's just that the parking lot is being rebuilt now. Our room happens to be on the first floor facing the parking lot. There is always light pollution at night, noise from the reconstruction construction, and the sound of cars coming and going on the street. The accommodation experience is very bad. Moreover, this room was originally prepared for disabled people. The equipment in the toilets are all disabled toilets. The bathroom is only covered with curtains. There is no door or bathtub. In addition, the water in the bathroom is very small. Depressed, or the city center facilities are not enough. All in all, this experience is not worth it at this price.

The Observatory Hotel is a beautiful and unique hotel in a great location. It is within walking distance of shopping, nice restaurants, and the botanical garden. The service was excellent and the room was clean and comfortable.

Our favorite place to stay in Christchurch. I do wish they had an 11am checkout instead of 10am checkout. But that seems to be the NZ way unfortunately.
