The entrance is awkward and the parking zone whilst checking in is very poorly sign posted. The room was clean but very very dated and tired. Especially at $500 per night. Actually daylight robbery. The in room dinner was good. The aircon is the central hotel system so the room was overly warm and adjusting the temp was ineffective. Poor lighting throughout the room and especially in the mirror area of the very weird bathroom set up.

Very much in need of a refresh. The "bathroomette" design is awful. Couldn't order a coffee at 0800. On the plus side, the bed and pillows were comfortable.

Sagar K. G. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The staff at the time of check in was extremely rude and non adjusting. He took around 30-40 minutes to check whether rooms with tubs were available however, post accepting non tub rooms, he allotted 1 extra room with a tub. He checked for 40 minutes and denied saying other guests hold the booking. I happened to stay here on my birthday, but no special efforts like a cake in the room or a wish from the Concierge was received. I hope they must be having the lead passenger’s birthday atleast. Anyway, one of the poor experiences in our whole New Zealand stays of 15 nights.

Dear Mr G., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. We appreciate your comments and the opportunity to clarify the arrangements made upon your arrival. We understand that you requested three rooms on the same floor, with interconnecting rooms and bathtubs in each. As the hotel was fully occupied at the time of your arrival, accommodating these specific preferences required additional time and coordination. Our team made every effort to assist with your requests, successfully arranging all three rooms on the same floor, with bathtubs available in two of the three rooms. Unfortunately, interconnecting rooms could not be accommodated, as these had not been reserved in advance and availability was limited due to the hotel's full occupancy. While our team always endeavours to assist with guest preferences, specific room configurations are subject to availability, particularly when requested on arrival. We therefore recommend contacting the hotel ahead of your stay to discuss and arrange any particular room requirements, allowing us to advise on the available options in advance. Regarding your birthday, we understand your disappointment at not receiving a special gesture during your stay. As this occasion had not been brought to our team's attention, we were unfortunately unaware that you were celebrating. Had we known, we would have been pleased to explore an appropriate way to acknowledge the occasion. We appreciate that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Nevertheless, we would like to reiterate that our team made every effort to accommodate your requests within the constraints of availability on the day. Thank you again for your feedback. We remain committed to providing a welcoming experience for all our guests and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square in the future. Kind regards, Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square

Carolyn T. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The room was ok except for a leaking tap however not being able to oay by Farmlands when the Hotel is advertised as a card partner was very frustrating. The staff just said it was an eftpos terminal upgrade and made no effort to find a solution or to escalate it to someone who could find a solution

Kia ora Carolyn, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your continued support and loyalty in choosing to stay with us. We truly appreciate your ongoing patronage. We understand your frustration regarding the inability to use your Farmlands Card and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this caused. However, we would like to clarify that our team has already escalated this matter to our Finance and IT departments for further investigation. Technical issues of this nature can take time to resolve and cannot always be fixed within a single day. Please be assured that we are taking your concerns seriously. We would also like to clarify that, based on the information currently available, Accor's previous partnership with Farmlands appears to have been a promotional arrangement in early 2022, and Accor is no longer listed as an active partner in Farmlands' main partner directory. Nevertheless, our hotel is committed to supporting a wide range of payment card options to provide greater convenience for our guests while ensuring compliance with Accor's requirements. We continue to work closely with the relevant departments to explore possible solutions and improve our payment facilities wherever possible. We value your feedback and also apologise for the inconvenience caused by the leaking tap during your stay. This has been rectified by the maintenance team. Thank you again for your continued loyalty and for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns. We hope to continue welcoming you back and providing you with a positive experience on your future stays. Best regards, Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square
