Brand New and really Lovely

I totally enjoyed my stay. The hotel is brand new. The room is a great style and size. The only thing is the closet… it is super small. There are great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Though I did not really interact with the staff much, they are kind and prompt. I love the mini… Read more »

Friendly service, clean, modern and comfortable

Set close to good dining options and close to the CBD; this hotel is modern and clean. Nothing to complain about. It is not really a ‘wow’ hotel but meets all needs. Ask for an early check-in and received it; asked for a late check-out and received it. Bed is comfortable. Will be back.

Room with a view!

This hotel is an oasis in a city under reconstruction. Lots of construction noise around the city which is unavoidable for a city still recovering from earthquakes, but hotel is very comfortable and centrally located.

Courteous staff , spacious rooms , smiling faces

Modern hotel in the heart of Christchurch- this is the place to stay if you’re in Christchurch. The rooms are big , clean and modern . The staff is very courteous and always ready to help. I stayed with my family for 3 nights and we loved our stay at this lovely hotel . The breakfast is served in the cafe on the first floor. It’s fresh and Good . They can maybe add more variety to it – more fruits , muffins etc . ( Also, it could be nice if their in room dining menu could have more items , especially for kids.) But all in all , we had a FANTASTIC TIME . Thank you for cherished memories.

Fab High Tea at the Crowne Plaza

I have been to this establishment twice recently and really rate it. We had an amazing experience of their high tea for my sister’s birthday. This was something special. The assortment and quality of the food looked and tasted delicious as was the lovely china and range of teas that were on offer. The thing that we all commented on was the super staff who were so friendly and professional and went out of their way to make sure that all of our needs were met. Its great to see people working in hospitality who all look like they really enjoy being at work. Well done Crowne Plaza we will definitely be back
