BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

Rooms were very small. Signage to room was poor. Cheap decor. Damaged furniture No chairs supplied just a small dirty stool. Thought we were on a boat or train. Toilet and shower were very small tucked in a cornet. Some staff very helpful. Parking was refused on our second stay yet it was clear the manager was giving out parking codes to folk who had booked in after us. Food and service in cafe was very good. Great position to see city. If you are looking for backpacker vibe this is the place for you but its not value for money.

Poor quality accommodation, tiny rooms with bathrooms ‘pods’ squeezed into them. The fit out in the rooms is low quality with a cheap, extremely noisy fridge used for bedside table. There are much better options available in central chch, avoid this one.

Lovely reception staff. The room was very pokey. Although it had a window with a city view it small so more like a 'City glimpse'. The room was very hot in the night that mixed with the very loud music from the bar around the corner made for a terrible night of lack of sleep. If you are looking for a good location and no worried about sleep or paying to. much for a tiny room (and paying extra for parking) then this is your place.

Reception were very friendly and helpful and this was a good point about the stay. The rooms are OK but basic and characterless. We had a room with a city view but the window was 1 metre square with bars on the outside! We stayed on a Saturday night and the music form Bar 185 on Manchester street went until 4 am and we were on the 5th floor and still boomed through the room. Parking was another $19 dollars on top of the Hotel price which too me was excessive. Good point is that that the Hotel is situated close to the city.

Excellent affordable place for one person to crash over a few days. Not sure it would work for a couple, but it would greatly depend on the couple. Breakfast was included and was okayish but plentiful. Tiny room had no window but that didn't bother me as I was there on a combined business/see friends and family trip, so didn't spend much time in the room. Everything was spotless and functional. All the service staff were very friendly and helpful. The only negative was a slight disagreement with the bar tender over what time happy hour starts. All clocks I looked at said 5pm (the stated happy hour time) but his was 8 minutes slow.
