Location is excellent.
Service needs to improve
1. Standard hotel will provide a box/pack of tissue for the guest - I need to request for it
2. In NZ, provide hot chocolate is quite standard, I requested 1st time not done, 2nd time I wrote a note on the desk and ONLY ONE packet of chocolate provided
3. The toilet is so small, for big people will be problem. There was a light non stop blinking, till now no answer and don't know the reason
4. No cupboard for clothes and the only fixed hanger on the wall and right above the table and next to the kettle which you will not able to hang your jacket or jeans properly. I requested for hanger in order to hand my clothes outside the bathroom bar.
Probably the best place for families especially if you are travelling with kids. Beds are big enough for 2a2c easily. Parking is free and very convenient. (If full, I see folks just park by the road). Location very close to all activities you need (Kaikoura is small town). Breakfast isn’t buffet style but it’s definitely going to beat your expectation. Definitely recommend this place
I received a 'warm' greeting from the desk clerk upon my arrival, with the 'check-in' straight forward and quick. Upon entering my room, I found it to be tidy and clean. Very impressed! But to my dismay, there was no alarm clock in the room so I could set my 'wake-up'!! I also had issues with setting the air conditioner. Upon going down to reception and enquiring about these issues, I was advised: 1. They don't have alarm clocks in their rooms, but can offer a 'wake-up call' after 7am when the office is open. 2. The desk clerk did show me how to operate the air conditioner using the one in the office. He even turned mine on and adjusted it to suit my requirements, using a master control in the office. Great service there!
But if you are staying at the hotel, it would pay to set your own 'wake-up alarm' using your watch, or what-ever else you have. That is, if before 7am.
Be wary of the rooms either side of you, I could hear what was going on in the room next to me, talking, tv, etc.
Breakfast in the morning is a 'set' menu, but I was surprised to find that the cooked breakfast and continental breakfast were two different prices! At other hotels, for about the same price, I received both cooked and continental for the one price. I even had to pay for a glass of orange juice! Coffee/tea and water was complimentary. Overall, I did enjoy enjoy my cooked breakfast.
Overall, I was happy in some respects with the hotel, but disappointed in others during my stay.
The location of the hotel is within an easy walking distance to the Christchurch Square etc. The Christchurch ****** is literally just around the corner.
we had a pleasant stay. nice and warm place. however, some rooms need to take some stairs/steps which is a bit inconvenient when you have heavy luggages.
The hotel is fairly centrally located (about a 15 minute walk), but at the same time in a quiet area. The room was huge, for lack of a better term - it's basically a lounge, a twin room and a double room. Not sure if that's actually the room I booked or an upgrade. At any rate, it was clean and had all the necessary amenities. The outer design is also very nice. There's also afternoon tea for free from 15:30 till 16:30. The price is not particularly low, but all things considered it's value for money (only 25-30% more expensive than a private room in a hostel), especially if more than one person is staying. All in all, a great option, if your budget allows it.
CClemonHoZCRoom was large, and had ample space to open 4 large suitcases. Room was clean too, and staff was friendly and helpful.
Arrived at 1.30pm and was able to check in early.
Only downside - Hotel parking is at the private open space adjacent to the hotel but could be better if within the building itself and sheltered.
