Greg

Close proximity to the CBD and some nice cafés (especially Affogato, a short walk away). Convenient off street and on-street parking. My only concern was with the bed that probably should have been replaced a while ago. Otherwise, good, clean, basic accommodations. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The staff are friendly and helpful. We borrowed an outlet adapter from them as ours didn’t work in NZ. We have asked our tour guide to return it to the hotel as the tour guide couldn’t stop at the hotel location. We hope he’ll return the adapter to the hotel soon. Thank you City Center Hotel for your kind help and understanding! Next time when we come to Christchurch, we’ll stay with you again.

Our hosts were wonderful. They were helpful and very hospitable. The location of the motel is ideal with a walk into the city and a cafe a few meters away. Our room was clean and warm and we had electric blankets for the cold winter night. Next time in Christchurch we will be back there for our accommodation.

Not too far from city centre
The motel is a fairly short walk from the city centre. Quiet location and friendly helpful staff. Shower though was an older style dial turn which varied between ice cold and boiling. Otherwise a comfortable and relaxed stay.
