- Charles (5/5): Okay for the price but old and in need of some TLC. - Close to Woolston Village and nice location next to the river. Bed wasn’t great. Only two thin towels for two nights. Very small amount of toiletries, we had to buy our own shampoo. Curtains didn’t fully close and the outdoor light stayed on all night which didn’t help falling asleep. A business on the other side of the river started their noisy activities at 6.30 am. The childrens play area looks unsafe.

No hairdryer nor coffee plunger🥲also Booking.com didn’t indicate that there would be $20extra for having dogs… it’s advertised as dog friendly but that extra charge isn’t evident until check in. We understand why, but ….
- Diego (10/5): excellent - Everything was clean we enjoyed being there we really enjoyed spending time with our dogs Nothing everything was AMAZING

Well lit up at night for security, and there is a park for every room. Nothing we don’t like about Arcadia Motel.
- Jeremy (8/5): Very good -
- Besley (9/5): Superb - Great pet friendly motel
- Macdonald (8/5): Very good -
- Linda (10/5): Ideal place to stay with a broken leg! - Excellent facilities for a person with less mobility (we stayed in unit 11 which has disabled-access). Everything we needed in the apartment and the owner Jeff and his team went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.
- Rosie (5/5): Lovely place but sad to say will not be back - the tv worked I paid $780 for 3 nights I do understand that the cricket was on but there was no salt or pepper and there were dead inseces under our bed and the people next to us were so rude and at 7pm we sat outside our unit and she sceamed at us to shutup"
- Amanda (4/5): - The only reason we stayed here was the motel allowed our dog to stay. It was smelly unclean and filthy. Windows didn’t close properly, drafts when windy. Cuties would blow upward. Mouldy silicone. It was just yuck.
Well over due for an up grade. The shower dribbled water out the shower nozzle. No pressure.
WIFI was a joke.
The outside of the property was very well kept and in much better condition than the inside.
The price was far too much for the state of the property.
Staff were absolutely lovely. Would not recommend staying unless like us you have no other options.
- Merv (2/5): Unpleasant - Didn’t order I wiped dust off the whole room and as I’m an asthmatic this caused me great discomfort
Very dusty and unclean by the toilet
Ants on the bench
Didn’t replace all sachets each day of our four night stay
Tea sachets were very cheap and didn’t taste at all nice
Not value at all for the money we were charged
Would not recommend
Top dollar for motel didn’t deliver
- Melissa (8/5): - Great little spot to stay the night in Christchurch, clean and comfortable, basic amenities but all that was needed, lovely reception staff, close to supermarket, dining options, 5 min drive to Sumner Beach.
- Christopher (7/5): Good -
- Tui (9/5): Always look forward to coming back - Location is great! Handy to get to all
Parts of town
- Elizabeth (8/5): Very good -
- Kortlever (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Jane (7/5): Good -
- Lynda (10/5): - Nice staff, responsive and helpful.
- Kelvin (3/5): Poor - Clean bedding, good shower pressure, good TV program selection, Toilet floor is not cleaned as well as it should be, other units occupied by disgusting people from Housing NZ, people should be told when booking, we would never stay there again and will ask the question at future accommodation. Felt totally uncomfortable when checking in as the reception person came and looked through the drivers window and identified everyone, very creepy
