Hotels With bar in Canterbury, New Zealand

The accommodation was very clean, and check-in was super easy; even arriving late, past the check-in time, was no problem. The hotel's location is also very convenient, right across from a gas station, and getting to the city center is a breeze.

Great location right in the city center. They have a private parking lot, but it costs NZD 25 per night. You can park in the public car park across the street for NZD 5 per night instead. The facilities are comprehensive, the bedding is comfortable, and it's surrounded by dining options and a riverside park.

We arrived on a cold evening. The front desk was able to provide us with an upgrade from King to King Studio. Was pleasantly surprised on the spaciousness and amenities provided. A small kitchen with induction stove, a big microwave, dishwasher, and a fridge. In the washroom, a towel heater, washer and dryer was very convenient and make our stay comfortable. The AC is strong enough to provide a comfortable stay during the winter. Clean room and everythings new. Power sockets are conveniently located. Personalized check in and check out time is not 24 hours but it's possible to do by contacting earlier. Plenty of free on-street parking is available from 6pm to 9am and the hotel does provide charged parking spot for NZD20/night. Location is super convenient if looking to walk around the downtown area with the Victoria Square just 10 minutes walk away and Market St just 15-20 minutes walk. It's also walkable to the Botanic Garden. Overall, a surprisingly pleasant place and would like to stay again if I'm back in Christchurch. All photos are mine and none edited.

This hotel is about an 8-minute walk from the Intercity bus terminal. Its convenient location puts major tourist attractions, supermarkets, and restaurants all within walking distance. What I appreciated most was how kid-friendly it is. It started with them gifting my children bird plushies (worth about $15) at the souvenir shop, and there's also a kids' play area. This was a lifesaver when the kids got tired of sightseeing and perfect for burning off energy before bedtime. Regarding amenities, they lean heavily towards sustainability, so if you want to be extra comfortable, it's probably best to bring your own. They provide a hairdryer, iron, towels, shampoo, and coffee/tea, but no water, toothbrushes, bathrobes, or slippers (which might be standard for hotels in New Zealand). Tissues are provided but not replenished when used up. The central heating didn't seem to work very well, which was a shame, but we managed with the extra blankets they provided.

This accommodation is massive. The front desk even gives you a map at check-in to show you where to park and how to get to your room. So, I'd suggest leaving your luggage in the car until you get your room key. The location is unbeatable, right across from the Tekapo Visitor Centre, and within walking distance to the supermarket, dining area, and the Church of the Good Shepherd. However, I do have to mention some downsides. Being close to the lake also means being close to the main road. Even after 10 PM, you can still hear cars driving by. Plus, you can't really stargaze from the balcony because the headlights and streetlights from passing cars are too bright.

Prime location and the absolute best starting point for a trip to the South Island! The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location. It's super convenient to get to downtown Christchurch, making shopping, dining, and sightseeing completely hassle-free. The rooms are standard and straightforward, perfectly adequate for a short stay and a good night's rest. A major plus is the bus stop right outside the entrance, along with car rental and drop-off points all around the neighborhood. This makes it extremely friendly for travelers planning a road trip around New Zealand's South Island, taking away any transportation worries. Whether you've just arrived in Christchurch and are ready to kick off your South Island road trip, or you need a place to unwind briefly after your journey, this is a great choice. Overall, while the hotel itself isn't particularly mind-blowing, its unbeatable location and seamless transit connections make it highly recommended as either your first or final stop on a South Island trip!

The hotel is great, the bedding and room temperature were very comfortable. It's right next to a park, and parking is very convenient. They even give you a cookie when you check in 🍪, which is a signature touch at Hilton DoubleTree hotels in New Zealand.

A beautiful villa resort, very spacious and comfortable with stunning views from the balcony. There are also lovely hiking trails nearby. The only odd thing was that the duvet didn't have a cover. Lunch and dinner were excellent – not expensive but very high-quality. The service was great, and the room even had a washer and dryer.

The room was spacious, and the kitchen and living room were excellent and well-equipped. The service was very attentive; someone helped with luggage to the room, and the airport transfer was arranged quickly and efficiently. The location is also very convenient for catching a bus to the city center, just a short walk away. The welcome milk was a nice touch. My only minor complaint is that the bathroom felt a bit old-fashioned.

This was my second stay here. During my first visit, I was on the 3rd floor and experienced noise throughout the night—it sounded like doors constantly opening and closing. This time, I stayed on the 4th floor, and it was much quieter and more comfortable. Everything else remained consistently good, including the staff, the room, and the amenities. I also had the chance to try the restaurant this time, and it was a pleasant experience. They offer different promotions every night, which is a nice touch, and the staff there were just as friendly and attentive.
