Hotels With Pools in Canterbury, New Zealand

I stayed at this hotel for three nights in Christchurch. Overall, it maintained Hilton's usual high standards and was generally satisfying. **Ambiance:** The hotel is beautiful, with vibrant flowers in the garden. Enjoying breakfast in the restaurant with a view of the garden outside the window was a real pleasure. The hotel is also very close to the city center. On a sunny day, it was lovely to walk to the city center, visit the Botanic Gardens, the Arts Centre, the Riverside Market, and the Cardboard Cathedral, all while strolling along the Avon River. I managed to check off many attractions without even realizing it. **Cleanliness:** Housekeeping was prompt, and the room was clean and tidy. I didn't find any dirty spots. **Facilities:** The hotel seems to be a bit old, so the facilities aren't brand new, but they are sufficient and well-equipped, including a hairdryer, iron, kettle, refrigerator, and air conditioning – enough for a short stay. The room's balcony was also nice, overlooking a lawn, perfect for some peaceful relaxation. The only drawback was the poor soundproofing in the room. The room next door frequently opened and closed their door, sometimes more than ten times between 10 PM and 1 AM, and at one point, it was every ten minutes or so. Each time, it made a huge noise that felt like the bed was shaking, waking me up multiple times. I even started to wonder if countless people were staying next door. This kind of thing is really down to luck, but better sound insulation would have made for a less disturbing stay. **Service:** The front desk staff were very polite and enthusiastic during both check-in and check-out, which left a great impression. We were given two bottles of water and two warm cookies upon check-in, which was a thoughtful touch. The only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the suspected subtle racial discrimination from the restaurant's reception staff. I stayed here for three days and saw many other Chinese tourists. Not once did I hear the staff say goodbye or thank you to us when we left the restaurant. They would just stand there, pretending not to see us, but then smile and thank the Caucasian guests walking behind us. This happened every single time for three days, and they pretended not to see other Chinese guests leaving too. I have to wonder, is this how the hotel trains its staff? To provide different service based on race? These staff members, who were older and positioned at the restaurant entrance for greeting and guiding, were not the young, busy servers inside the restaurant, who did a great job. Based on this subtle differential treatment, I can only give the service three stars, no more.

Suitable for taking children. Our room sleeps 5 people, 3 single beds and 1 double bed. There is a kitchen in the room, the pots and pans are all complete, and there is a refrigerator for your own simple dishes. The hotel is very close to the city centre. Remember to bring toiletries, shower gel, shampoo.

Check-in is after 2 PM, and check-out is at 10 AM. You can store your luggage at the front desk. A deposit is required upon check-in, payable by credit card or cash. The reception and hotel are in adjoining buildings. My room was on the second floor, and there's no elevator, so I had to carry my luggage up myself. The room was clean and spacious, but the soundproofing wasn't great. You can cast your phone to the TV via Wi-Fi. When I checked out, there was a front desk staff member who could speak Chinese.

This is a very luxurious and expansive hotel with many rooms. Staff helped us with our luggage to our room, which was quite a long walk. The room itself was huge, featuring a living room, a dining table, and a small door leading to an outdoor area. The surroundings were lovely with plenty of greenery. Breakfast was standard, but the female server in the restaurant had a very poor attitude, acting flippant and chatting with colleagues throughout her shift. Other staff members, however, were very friendly, and there's a free shuttle service to the airport.

This hotel location is superb right opposite The village city central. Everything is good EXCEPT no air con which is really hot in summer month …all 4 of us didn’t sleep well as is too hot- they only provide a standing Fan. I think winter month stay is ok.

This is a large campsite facing the beach. There's a small kitchenette for cooking simple meals, and a communal kitchen. We went back to the hotel quite late and went straight to sleep. The foreigners were very quiet and didn't make a fuss; no one was smoking, which was great.

We booked a one-bedroom villa, but to our surprise, it actually had three bedrooms! The space was incredibly large and a delightful surprise. The ground floor features a garage, and the living room has a cozy fireplace with spacious, comfortable sofas. The dining area is huge, and the kitchen is fully equipped with dinnerware, cookware, a microwave, and an oven, perfectly meeting our daily needs and allowing for easy meal preparation. It was a truly comfortable stay. Our entire trip to Tekapo was perfect, and this villa truly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

Check in was super easy. Very handy to where we needed to be. The room was toasty warm. Super comfy bed. Breakfast was incredible. Definitely want to stay again.

I stayed here on the last night of my return home. The house on the upper and lower floors, we had a lot of fun, and forgot to book the hotel, we couldn’t book a suitable place one day in advance. This house is expensive and the two people live a little extravagant, but away from Avon. Very close to Hagley Park for easy shopping.

The hotel is fairly centrally located (about a 15 minute walk), but at the same time in a quiet area. The room was huge, for lack of a better term - it's basically a lounge, a twin room and a double room. Not sure if that's actually the room I booked or an upgrade. At any rate, it was clean and had all the necessary amenities. The outer design is also very nice. There's also afternoon tea for free from 15:30 till 16:30. The price is not particularly low, but all things considered it's value for money (only 25-30% more expensive than a private room in a hostel), especially if more than one person is staying. All in all, a great option, if your budget allows it.
