Nice Rooms, Bad Food

Customer review rating 3.0/5

Kaz, B. Solo - 21/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Excellent rooms with great amenities, staff were please take and always helpful, however being in a managed facility In isolation for two weeks isn’t a holiday or a walk in the park. The food was mostly bad during the stay. Not sure why as I know other manage facilities had choices of what 3 meals they wanted daily during there stay. I wondered why we never got a choice and served a whole lot of rice and curry dishes and lots of carbs as in pastas. We probably had a handful of good meals which usually arrived at the very end of service, which I actually had to ring guest service asking if they had missed my meal. I think if the food had been much better then what It was I would of had a much more pleasant stay at the facility. Overall my stay was below average.

Dear Caroline W., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Novotel Christchurch Airport. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Based on your feedback we have altered our menu making it more balanced, incorporating vegetables with every meal and bigger portions of salads. We have also made changes to ensure the meals are not heavy on carbs as we do understand that our guests are spending most of their time in rooms. We understand that it is a difficult time for our guests and would like to do everything we can do to make their stay most comfortable. Thank you again for your feedback and I hope you will give us another opportunity to better serve you, under different circumstances. Sincerely, Varun Bhatia Rooms Division Manager

We booked and paid a room in the Novotel in Christchurch on the 11th of March ($262.00) reservation No.33106 one night from 24/03/20 to 25/03/20 .On arrival we got transferred to the Sudima (Christchurch Airport) On checkout they charged us $262.00 again (invoice No.74913). I contacted your office on the 27/03/20 by phone and was told the money would be put back in to my account, but so far this has not been done. Regards H. L.

Yvonne C. Solo - 02/04/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I was not able to stay at Novotel airport at Christchurch airport as the hotel notified me they were shutting their doors at noon the day before I was to arrive.

Dear Mrs C., I understand your frustration and I also understand that the hotel closing put you in a delicate situation. I am very sorry about that. However, like any other retailer or business in New Zealand, we have followed our Prime Minister's instructions, shifting to Covid-19 Level 4 emergency level and this upon extremely short notice. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we have had to close the hotel off the cut. Priority is given, in those trying times, to ensuring that the spread of the virus is contained, making sure that New Zealanders are safe by abiding by the Ministry of Health rules and decisions. Again I am deeply sorry that this decision has affected your booking and I totally sympathize with you. I do hope that you have been able to return home safely. Kind regards. Olivier LACOUA. General Manager

Raewyn K 08/03/2020 TripAdvisor review

I stayed the night with my son for his 9th birthday. We booked an executive room and had a great view of the planes landing & taking off. We headed up stairs to the restuartant and watched the mighty Emirates a380 take off in the evening. As we are both vegetarian the staff we very accommodating with our meal. The room was clean & my son loved the lay out. For a parent looking for a special something for a kid that loves planes - I highly recommend. For the big kid I also recommend. Thank you for a special stay.

Dear Raewyn, reading your review is so rewarding. Thank you so much on behalf of the whole team for your compliments. We are so glad that we have contributed in some way to the happiness of your son on his birthday! The Emirates flight taking off at 6.45pm is a memorable moment indeed, in particular for plane lovers. Thank you again for staying at the Novotel Christchurch Airport. We will always be happy to welcome you! Kind regards. Olivier LACOUA. General Manager

Great place to stay if you have an early morning flight out of Christchurch. Well just a great place to stay anyway. We loved the resturant, room was very spacious and the bed just so cosy. After an assortment of AirB&Bs for three weeks it was is fantastic to spend our last night in luxury. You really cant beat the extra lengths this chain of hotels go to to make you free special and enjoy your stay.

Thank you very much for staying at the Novotel Christchurch Airport on your last night. I am delighted to read that you have had an impression of luxury and we have managed to make you feel special as a guest. Your review is a true reward for our team who is passionate about service.

johnhillock Business - 27/02/2020 TripAdvisor review

The hotel has only recently opened and this was my first stay. Very friendly and efficient reception staff and room was very comfortable and the triple glazing meant that there was negligible airport noise. Just one small matter in that the room service crew were very persistently noisy in the corridor and this is not great for an airport hotel, when some people will be trying to sleep during the day! The restaurant is excellent and obviously popular, with one small grouch in that the background music is not really background! Am I getting more easily irritated? I don't think so; just comparing with other Accor hotels, such as the Novotel in the city. Otherwise, would thoroughly recommend and will stay again!
