Tania C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel was in a great location for downtown access. We found the breakfast buffet to be excellent - so many choices. All the staff we came across were helpful and friendly - would definitely stay again

Kia Ora Tania, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for awarding us a perfect score across all areas of your stay. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable experience with us. It’s great to know that our central location made exploring the downtown area easy and convenient for you. We’re especially pleased that you enjoyed our breakfast buffet—having a wide variety of choices is something we’re very proud of, so your feedback is truly appreciated. Your kind words about our team mean a lot to us. Providing friendly and helpful service is at the heart of what we do, and it’s fantastic to hear that this stood out throughout your stay. We’re also grateful for your recognition of our sustainability efforts, particularly the towel reuse programme—it’s wonderful to know these initiatives are noticed and valued by our guests. Thank you again for your lovely feedback, Tania. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we would be thrilled to welcome you and your family back again in the future. Ngā mihi nui, Joshua Guest Services Manager

Tammy S. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

The location was great and the beds very comfortable. We weren't impressed with the restaurant as it felt to us to be very limited with few "simple" quick bite options. As for the room, there were a few items that were, in our opinion, not practical. The night stand's surface was way too low to truly be functional and the standalone bathroom sink area was awkward as it was basically in the bedroom space. However, it was functional.

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. Ngā mihi Shriya Chimbaikar Food and Beverage Manager Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square
