Comfort and relaxation

Andrew G. Couples - 06/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

From our very smooth check-in to our departure the following day we had a most comfortable and relaxed stay. The room had a god view back over the city to the Port Hills. Guest amenities in the room were sufficient and varied. The bed and pillows were of crisp linen and comfortable. We took advantage of the bar area to have a drink before going out for dinner. All our communication with the staff we encountered, from chambermaids to bartenders was pleasant, friendly and welcoming.

Greetings from Novotel Christchurch! Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer and it appears on this occasion we have fallen short. Your feedback regarding breakfast has been noted and whilst we understand buffet breakfast is often a Novotel standard, given the current circumstances this has temporarily been removed from our offering for health and safety. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Kind regards, Brooke Jolly Front Office Manager

Top Service - Great Location!

Lilian C. Families - 06/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Arrived early to drop our bags - and were allowed an early check in to a great room on the top floor. Amazing view over the city to the distant laps. Nespresso was really appreciated and a short stroll everywhere. Top spot for exploring the revitalized inner city precinct - and the kids loved the Margaret Mahy playground virtually a couple of minutes away. Very comfy room amenities, and parking quite reasonable. We'd stay again in a heartbeat. Finally, the staff we dealt with around the hotel were super friendly and welcoming!

Greetings from Novotel Christchurch! Thank you for taking the time to reflect on your recent stay experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and were well looked after by the team. Our central city location certainly does offer close proximity to all nearby must see attractions Christchurch has on offer.

Well located

Paula Families - 02/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Easy and convenient location, a little lack of staff about but understandable with Covid which made it hard to get hold of reception so left VM. House keeping should take note of guests as we were family of four but was lacking milk, and a towel. Other than that enjoyed our stay.

Overnight business stay

Keith R. Business - 02/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Check in was as efficient as ever. Kindly received an upgrade to the Executive floor. A little gift awaited my arrival. Nice bed, very comfortable! Had dinner on the night of my arrival - reduced menu but still very good quality. Cant wait till the old menu is back! Breakfast was a la carte rather than the usual buffet. I had the fruit bowl which was great. Checked out early via express check out. Overall a very nice stay. Novotel Cathedral Square is my favourite Christchurch hotel. Will definitely be back next time I am in Christchurch. Thank you.

Major stuff up with our bill. We were wanting to get away early and were called back. Selection of beer at bar terrible. No quality beers.
