Tammy S. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL
Kia OraTammy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our central location, comfortable beds, and that our team, cleanliness, breakfast, and overall service made a positive impression on your stay. We do appreciate your comments regarding the restaurant offering. It sounds like you may have experienced our bar or all-day snack menu, which is designed for lighter, quick bites. In addition to this, we do offer a full restaurant menu with a wider selection of dishes for a more substantial dining experience. That said, we understand how this may have felt limited at the time, and we will review how we present these options to ensure greater clarity for our guests. Thank you also for your feedback regarding the room layout. While our design is intended to maximise space and functionality, we understand that certain features may not suit everyone’s preferences, and your comments are valuable as we continue to improve our guest experience. We truly appreciate your balanced feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better stay in the future.
