Kylie G. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I can't remember if I've already reviewed the Hotel but today I was reminded of the terrible lighting near the mirrors, making it difficult to apply make-up. Give each room an extendable magnifying mirror with good lighting please. Women will be happy.

Kia Ora Kylie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you found the hotel central, clean, and that our team provided you with excellent service throughout your stay. I’m sorry to hear that the lighting around the mirrors made applying make-up difficult. Your suggestion of an extendable magnifying mirror with dedicated lighting is very helpful, and I will certainly share this feedback with our team for consideration. We appreciate you highlighting this, as these practical details can make a real difference to our guests’ comfort. I’m also sorry for the confusion regarding the conference discount. We understand how disappointing it would be to be advised of a discount and then find that it was no longer available after booking. We will share your feedback with the relevant team to help ensure that promotional information is communicated as clearly and accurately as possible. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and for your continued support as an ALL Accor member. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back and providing an even more comfortable experience next time. Warm regards, Joshua Guest Services Manager

Clare B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Great location and clean, comfortable room. Having the hand basin in the bedroom rather than within the bathroom was a little strange. Appreciated the complimentary bottled water and minibar, although this was not refreshed on our last day. A single hand towel for 2 guests and no face towel. I nabbed one from the gym but it was removed by housekeeping.

Kia Ora Clare, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback following your stay with us. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our central location, your clean and comfortable room, and the warm service from our team. We’re sorry that a few details fell short during your stay, particularly the towels and the minibar not being refreshed on your final day. We completely understand how frustrating this would have been, and your comments have been shared with our Housekeeping team so we can improve our attention to these details. We also appreciate your feedback around towel replacement and our sustainability efforts — we’re always looking for ways to make this clearer and more consistent for our guests. Thank you again for your honest feedback, Clare. We truly appreciate your Gold ALL Accor loyalty and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Novotel Christchurch City Centre for an even better stay next time.

We were very spoilt as our daughter and son-in-law gifted us a night in the Novatel for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We had an adjoining room to them, along with our two little grandsons which made it extra special.

It sounds like you were truly spoilt with such a thoughtful gift from your daughter and son-in-law, and we are delighted that having the adjoining rooms with your family and two little grandsons made the occasion even more memorable. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of your room, particularly the bed and spacious bathroom, and that our convenient location added to your stay. It is also wonderful to know that our Front Desk team made you feel so welcome and were friendly and helpful throughout your visit. I will certainly pass your kind comments on to the team. I am sorry, however, that the noise from other guests in the hallway disturbed you. We completely understand how disappointing this can be, particularly when you are enjoying a special family occasion and looking forward to a peaceful night's sleep. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again for choosing to celebrate such a wonderful milestone with us.

Over all god but a couple of issues- I was allocated a room with a disabled bathroom that was bit annoying. The othe issue was that there were a couple of indian or subcontinent looking male staff who never greeted me when I was coming in or out of the hotel, they would warmly greet people behind me or in front of me, I am also of indian origin but why do I have to feel that way not sure.

Nice and quiet and very helpful staff. Good breakfast buffet. I found the room layout awkward with the bathroom sink in the bedroom. No drinking water, snacks or amenities. Feels more like a 3 star property.

Kia Ora Olivia, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your recent stay with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location near the Convention Centre, the comfort of your bed, our quiet environment, helpful team, and breakfast buffet. That said, we are sorry that your accommodation did not provide the level of comfort and convenience you were expecting. We appreciate your comments regarding the room layout, mirror lighting, drinking water, bathroom amenities, the location of the kettle, and the availability of power points at the desk. These are all valuable observations, particularly for guests travelling on business, and I will ensure your feedback is shared with the relevant teams for consideration. We are also sorry for the frustration regarding your towel. We appreciate you following the instructions provided and understand why it would be disappointing to see the towel replaced despite your intention to reuse it.
