Hotels With Pools in Canterbury, New Zealand

The Hilton Garden Inn Christchurch Airport is a true treasure. Its English castle-like estate and beautiful sprawling gardens are perfect for photos. Upon check-in, we were greeted with warm cookies. The room was spacious, the king bed was comfortable, and the heating was excellent. They offer a free, large parking lot and it's conveniently located near the airport and the Botanic Gardens. The breakfast even caters to Chinese palates with fried rice and dumplings. Plus, there's a heated pool and a gym. On the downside, the building shows its age a bit, breakfast isn't included, and it's a bit of a walk to the city center. This hotel is definitely a top choice for those traveling by car.

It looks close to the airport, but even taking the number 8 bus still requires about a 30-minute walk, especially since there are so many cars on the main roads, it's quite inconvenient and gives you goosebumps. Advantages: It's close to the car rental company, but once you get there, you'll realize how terrible the route is. It's very unsafe, requiring you to cross many roads without traffic lights. New Zealand drivers are noticeably less courteous than Australian drivers, so be extremely careful. As for the environment and hygiene, I won't go into details. In the overnight hotel, you have to run outside to use the restroom. But considering the price, you'll have to put up with it.

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.

When I checked into the hotel that day, the front desk lady was very enthusiastic, introduced the basic situation of the hotel, and specially said that the door was closed at night, how to open the door, and then introduced the parking spot for the Christchurch bus, and walked less.

Overall, it was just okay, but what I'm really unhappy about is that the front desk staff didn't give us a room with a shower, even though the room we booked (pictured in image 4) was supposed to have one. Instead, they gave us the room shown in image 1. The room in image 5 is what matched my booking criteria. I hope the information exchanged between the platform and the hotel is accurate to avoid misleading guests!!!

Very comfortable beds, big room, big bathroom, clean, great choice for breakfast, we did eat a dinner at the restaurant , we had seafood plater for two, my only criticism of seafood platter that we only got 3 prawns, there were delicious by the way but if the platter is to share for two would make sense to serve 4 prawns, wouldn’t be?

The location is absolutely fantastic! It's right opposite a gas station and not far from the entrance to the bridge leading to the Church of the Good Shepherd. There's plenty of parking available. Plus, there's a pizza and crepe food truck right next door. The restaurant on the first floor serves delicious food. And there's a bar nearby with amazing burgers – definitely better than Big Face Burger! The ********* woman at reception was incredibly helpful; she went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed. We'll definitely stay here again! Even though it's near the road, it didn't really affect our sleep. And the room was super warm and cozy!

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.

The room was clean and the heating worked perfectly. The hotel's restaurant also served delicious food! The location is convenient, close to the airport and right by a bus stop. The staff were very friendly and helpful with their explanations, so I'd love to come back again.☺️

All were good, the location is very near to the city center. Although the parking was a bit narrow, we were able to park in front of our unit safely. The kitchenette was rather small and dont have a complete utensils like chopping board, but we managed with whatever provided. There was no hood as well so when we were cooking, the smoke alarm went on for a while, we had to open our front door while cooking because the ventilation was not the best. But overall it was fine.
