Laura H. Business - 12/ 8/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL
Kia ora Laura, Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us. We’re thrilled to hear that you found your experience outstanding in every way, and it’s especially heart-warming to know our reception and housekeeping teams made such a positive impression. I’ll be sure to pass your praise on — particularly to the housekeeper who helped make your stay so comfortable. It’s great to hear your ALL Gold membership early check-in made a difference to your trip, and that our team were quick to bring you a printed menu when the digital one proved tricky. We truly value your helpful feedback about lighting in reception, the in-room menu, and the soap dispensers — and just to reassure you, the dispensers are not thrown out; they are refilled and reused to reduce waste. Your comments still give us great insight into how we can make our sustainability efforts even stronger. We’re grateful for your loyalty as both an ALL Gold member and an Accor Vacation Club member, and we hope to welcome you and your husband back to Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square soon — for another warm, relaxing, and memorable visit.
