When fitting out rooms in any new future hotel, please install basins in the shower/toilet rooms in addition to a small sink/basin in the main bedroom space, so that cleaning of teeth etc. activities can be kept separate from boiling jug etc.

the hotel was in a convenient area of Christchurch which allowed my wife and i access to a number of places nearby

Greg C. Couples - 16/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

overall, we were extremely satisfied with the staff who made us very welcome. the restaurant of an evening was first class. i have two issues - one which i think you could fix quite easily- the towels for the bathroom were Kid's sized, not adults. we stayed in a suite 1301, and the shower was quite dangerous in the bath. my wife and i both nearly sipped getting out of the bath / shower. the rubber mat slipped from under me when getting out. i then needed to assist my wife out and despite that she nearly fell. not sure what you can do about it.

Greetings from Novotel Christchurch! Thank you for taking the time to reflect on your recent stay experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and our city central location. Your feedback regarding the safety of the bath/shower has been noted and the team are currently investigating what measures can be put in place to minimise this risk. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we do hope to see you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Brooke Sumner Front Office Manager

Brilliant location in the heart of Christchurch

Sue D. Couples - 16/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I was amazed when I looked our the window of my room. I knew it was Cathedral Square but didn’t expect such a great view. When the new conference centre is finished it will be wonderful. It is also sobering to see the devastation still remaining from the 2011 earthquake. The room was very comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. Sunday breakfast was disappointing with nothing topped up n the buffet in the hour we were there. Monday was better provisioned.

Greetings from Novotel Christchurch! Thank you for taking the time to reflect on your recent stay with us.

Attractive hotel in the heart of Christchurch

B K. Couples - 15/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We enjoyed our stay the Christchurch Novotel. The foyer is bright and modern, the staff were friendly and the restaurant served delicious food. Our room was a good size with a comfortable king size bed. The bathroom was adequate with a good shower but no bathtub. The basin was outside the bathroom which was unusual but fine. My only complaint concerned the pillows, of which there were many but none of them comfortable. I woke every few hours and changed pillows but to no avail, they were all uncomfortable.

Greetings from Novotel Christchurch! Thank you for taking the time to reflect on your recent stay experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and our hotel's central city location. We do apologise that you found the pillows uncomfortable and this caused disruption to your sleep. We do hope to see you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Brooke Sumner Front Office Manager

Location was great for walking.

Jacqueline Friends - 15/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The only problem we encountered was the view from our room. Or should I say lack of it. We faced the wall of another building, quite close.

Greetings from Novotel Christchurch! Thank you for choosing Novotel Christchurch for your recent stay in the garden city. We are pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay and our city central location. Given the nature of being in a city centre environment unfortunately, we do have a handful of rooms with restricted views. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to see you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Brooke Sumner Front Office Manager

Great view. Noisy room

Anonymous Couples - 15/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We were in too 1210 and it must have been close to the service lift as we had mechanic noise throughout the night. Most prominent between 3-5am!!! The walls shaking and vibrating due to the noise or the lift mechanism. If we’d been there longer than a couple of night it would have been an even bigger issue.
