Hotels near Sydenham in Christchurch

I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Give Christchurch. The location is fantastic—just directly opposite the beautiful Christchurch Botanic Gardens, which is perfect for a relaxing walk. Many of the main attractions are within walking distance, making it very convenient to explore the city without needing transport. Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Christchurch.

The room was a bit small, but it had everything we needed. Its central Christchurch location made city walks incredibly convenient. The daily room cleaning service was a thoughtful touch, and the price was fantastic. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Christchurch!

Located near the fun Regent;s street with lots of restaurants and bars, near the convention center and cathedral, but a bit farther away from the Riverside market etc (10-15 min walk). Staff is friendly, kitchen is really big and has everything, with lost of fridges and storage space. I booked the room for myself, it was very comfortable. They provide big towels, which is nice. No hair drier though. Right next to bus stop to airport.

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.

The hotel is just a few dozen meters from the bus station, with a supermarket right across the street. The room is quite small; there's hardly any space once you open your suitcase. The hot water is hot enough, but there's no toothbrush or toothpaste in the bathroom, which is a bit inconvenient. Some rooms are very exposed and visible from the street, so you really need to keep the curtains drawn.

The rooms have a clever layout: you enter one door, and it leads to two separate king-sized rooms, each with its own kitchen and bathroom. The facilities are brand new. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, cutlery, a dishwasher, and a microwave, and it has an induction hob. In terms of hygiene, there are both a washer and a dryer. However, the shower lacks a curtain, which means water easily splashes out – a rather thoughtless design that makes the floor slippery. The location is excellent and central; just across the road and over the river is Riverside Market, lined with restaurants and shops. Overall, aside from the parking and shower issues, this hotel is quite satisfactory.

Parking, despite filtering for parking, is not free of charge at the hotel. The listing details 'additional fees' on the 'Amenities' page, not on the initial landing page. Upon inquiring where to park, I was directed to the public car park almost immediately opposite the hotel - $12 overnight; $25 for the day (not 24hr). Still, this is not on the hotel, as additional fees details are on the listing. I was not offered the $30 basement parking the hotel claims to have. Some rooms have a window but zero view. Twin rooms with double beds cannot accommodate much luggage. The shower cubicle is small. I am not tall (180cm) but the showerhead barely cleared my own head. Otherwise, the hotel delivered exactly what was expected from an Ibis. Beds comfy.

Location is very good close to everywhere, bus station to airport number 8 very easy to reach. Walk to park n restaurants. Staffs r friendly n helpful met 2guys receptionist all very nice.

Booked Ramada on Tuam Street because of proximity to CBD, Riverside Market and the Arts preccinct. Staff are very friendly, and followed up the 2 requests re my extended booking. Comfotable room and great linen. Very pleased with my stay, will be back👍😃 Re City: My first stayover visit since Easter 2011, after the 2nd EQ. Yes, many of the historic building have gone, but the city had a new vibrancy and great architecure! The lane ways remind me of Melbourne [ilved there for 20 years]. Great selection of food, and great coffee. Beautiful Christchurch!

The hotel us well-equipped with cooking equipment and they got laundry machine in the room. Really good for those who wanted to have few cozy nights in christchurch. Moreover, they gave us some alternatives for parking the car which also made it really convenient for us.
