For a Novotel, we were well impressed about the level of service received here at Novotel Christchurch during our two night stay. We arrived and opted for the valet parking service as we would not require a car for the duration of stay. During check in a friendly staff member welcomed us, and provide a comprehensive overview of the hotel. Our room was on level 13 overlooking ChristChurch and featured a king size bed, amenity area, sofa and bathroom. Breakfast was served on level 1 and includes a live egg station, juices and various hot and cold dishes. We believe this outdone other Novotel breakfasts we have experienced. I have seen some negative comments here however we felt this hotel offered value for money and very good service by Food & Beverage plus Guest Services. We will definitely return.

Great Location

This is a great hotel. The room I had faced the square and felt sunny and chic. Breakfast is delicious especially the porridge and eggs. I appreciated Mohit’s help at the front desk. Nice little gym, too.

The mattress needs replacing as it is hollowed out in the middle on one side. The desk chair is also past its use-by date. I expect better for $300+ per night.

We understand how important comfort is, especially during a business trip, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
