- Janette (6/5): -
- G E (10/5): Well thought out spaces and equipment. Homely, highly recommend. - Everything we needed. Could have happily lived in this unit. Not too much road noise, food outlets within walking distance, but there was a full, really well-equipped kitchen. Full bathroom with bathtub, separate toilet. Comfortable for 2 adults and 2 older kids. Beds were good, slept well. The host was lovely, very helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Little step Mum didn't see going in the room, host put light on for us.
- Jo-Anne (8/5): -
- Areeb (10/5): - The location is quite near the city centre and great value for money. Highly recommended. Good parking facility. Nice comfy beds and a big kitchen with a good number of kitchen utensils. Not daily room service. No Netflix available, and surprisingly, there were even ants in the kitchen.
- Ernst (7/5): Good budget option for an easy stay - Easy access and good value for money Next to busy road and parts are a bit tired
- Sha (10/5): 非常方便舒服的停留住宿地点。 - 在中心区域，非常方便，大型超市就在隔壁街道。 很好了，保持就好。
- Robyn (7/5): For a family of four on a budget it met all our needs. - Good central location. Was not too far to walk to Margaret Mahy playground and the city centre. Garden setting was nice. Staff helpful and friendly. Good clean facilities with enough space for a family to stay with separate lounge, kitchen and bedroom. Lighting was abit dark in the living room.
- Alicia (8/5): The tech said the staff were excellent and super accommodating to his circumstances. - The staff were lovely to our technician who's plane kept getting delayed to finally take off 17hrs later and they made sure that he was still able to get into his room.
- Lily (8/5): - My favorite part of the room is the living room, we had a lot of fun playing cards with our friends The toilet door is too old and makes noise when opening and closing
- CHIAO SHAN (9/5): - 住宿設備可以標示有廚房 wifi was very weak
- Dianna (8/5): -
- Byrne (5/5): Catch up with the times - I liked that it was close to town, cafe and bars. I feel that the motel is a bit dated and there should be more amenities available, better coffee and tea choices, kitchen facilities need updating.

- Michelle (8/5): -
- Sajan (9/5): She is good - Every thing good All good

- Valerie (10/5): Great location, value for money & friendly hosts 😊 - It was in a great location for where we needed to be and the unit had everything we needed. The owners are friendly and accommodating and checked in with us in the middle of our stay to see if we needed anything. Clean, comfortable & easy stay. Really good value for money & we’d definitely return if we come back to Christchurch! Thank you 🫶🏽 N/A

- JIA-RUEI (8/5): -
- Green (8/5): Great place to stay. Management stayed up for us as we were running late, thanks so much 🙏 -
- Robert (5/5): Value for money for a short stay. - The price was within our range It was uncomfortably hot; no air conditioning, but it was an older style cinder block structure so we understood that would be difficult to cool.
- Jane (8/5): - Very central - quick and easy walk to city centre. The unit had a full oven and a fridge and freezer- most places don’t have enough freezer space. Very clean. Liked the fact that the kitchen had a drainer. Lovely garden feel. The kitchen needed and extractor fan so that frying food doesn’t fill the kitchen with smoke. The unit slept 5, but only 4 seats at the dining table. Very annoying for family of 5.

- Andrea (8/5): -

- Melissa (10/5): -
- Victoria (10/5): - The room was like a 1 bedroom house. Full kitchen and bathroom with large bedroom and lounge. Staff/owners were incredibly helpful and friendly with anything we needed. Great location, only 1km from central.
- jolene (4/5): It was okay for a one-night stay, but not ideal for more than two nights. - The room size is good, and the location is convenient with free parking. The bedding are clean. Noise: It was quite noisy every day—either early in the morning while we were still in bed or late at night. The noise seemed to come from the water cylinder inside the room, which was quite disruptive. Toilet Paper: The toilet paper provided was very low quality, thin, small rolls, and budget-grade. We don’t even use this type at home, and the supply was limited. Kitchen Tap: The hot water tap in the kitchen broke twice in the morning while I was preparing breakfast, which was inconvenient. Kitchen Facilities: The kitchen facilities were of poor quality. There were limited cups, bowls, and plates, and the cutlery (forks and spoons) was not clean. I found forks in the drawer with purple/blue stains that looked suspicious, possibly from mouse poison. Cleaning Supplies: On the first day, the dishwashing liquid and handwash were nearly empty, but the staff refilled them promptly after I mentioned it, which I appreciated. Ants Issue: I left some chocolate donuts on the dining table overnight, and by the next morning, there were many ants eating them. This was quite unpleasant. Kitchen Condition: The whole kitchen felt old and worn out and could really benefit from some upgrades.
- Panpawee (10/5): - Family-friendly
- Melanie (10/5): - Great location clean and tidy spacious rooms and great value for money
- Marlo (1/5): Never again in here!! - None Old and very cold rooms. Had trouble with the toilet and the owners fixed it with duct tape and expressed it was fixed! Really bad!!!
- Cristina (5/5): Good for price but not comfortable. - Very spacious. Very cold and hard to warm the room. Not enough heating. Beds are cold too.
- Hok (10/5): -
- Ashestools93 (7/5): - Location was good. Could have had a heater or an electric heater.
- Alana (10/5): -
- Cherileerichards (10/5): Perfect place to stay for a family of 4 - We stayed here for a few nights due to our son competing in a football tournament - the room was exactly what we needed - the kitchen had everything we needed - the shower was powerful and hot and the rooms were easy to heat which was perfect as it was chilly outside
- Nalder (8/5): Very good - Very helpful owner who went the second mile to help us as we arrived late after being let down by our previous booking. No being able to contact Booking Com about our booking that had let us down.No New Zealand phone no appears to be available for direct contact.
- Michelle (9/5): Cozy apartment stay with everything you need. - Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Great location. Cosy apartment for a family at a low cost.
- Ashlee (6/5): had a great time thank you - Great location, friendly helpful staff and great price old facilities
- James (5/5): Passable - Cold heater is poor no electric blanket on the bed. Average accommodation but it was low price
- Melissa (8/5): - It was nice, clean and tidy. Heating wasnt the best could do with installing a heatpump
- Eunju (10/5): Highly recommend! - We arrived late at night on a late flight, but the room was already warm with the heater turned on, which was such a thoughtful touch. It made us feel very welcomed and allowed us to relax right away. The room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. I had a great stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Short and sweet!😍
- Chelsea (10/5): The staff are very accommodating and very easy to deal with I will definately be staying there for future trips - The room was perfect, had everything I needed and very nice for value! Nothing
- Phillip (4/5): It was a place to sleep… - Good size room and tidy Terrible shower, absolutely no water pressure, odd loud noises outside bathroom window, very outdated
- Chevaughan (6/5): - Affordable and large accomodation. Have stayed here a few times now and been impressed everytime, until this visit… We weren’t notified of the gigantic construction project right behind the apartment we were put in. Neighbours had a dog which while friendly and kept under control our child is scared of them. The backyard was locked off and grass and gardens way overgrown. The shower was covered in black mould and the floor was sunken in so the water pooled… sad to see it has gone downhill
- Cherry (8/5): Very good -
- Akhbar (8/5): Very good -
- Kristy (8/5): - Staff very friendly and helpful. Propery on the older side but was clean and tidy and bed was comfortable. Only 10 to 15 minute walk to most places in Christchurch but plenty of transport options if you don't want to drive.
- Qiong (10/5): - Property is very clean and homely. It is 10mins walk to the city and we enjoyed our staying at here.
- George (6/5): - This is an old 1960s property which has been amateurishly renovated. Taps and kitchen cupboards are that old! Bedroom is a tight squeeze with 4 bedspaces. It is on main roads with traffic noise and sirens. There are no powerpoints in the bathroom. The microwave was in a dangerous location on top of the fridge. However, the proprietors were helpful and very nice.
- Luiz Alexandre Chamorro (10/5): - Excellent location and staff very helpful
- Prasad (10/5): - I'll definitely recommend the Admiral as I found it very convenient and the owner is very very helpful. The whole stay was seamless. We checked in at midnight, but the owners were so thoughtful that they left some food and biscuits for us at late night.
