Guest Reviews
- Alan (10/5): Very Friendly and helpful staff -
- 910reggiem (10/5): Gorgeous hotel - Absolutely perfect. Low key luxury, great service. You could not want for more. The rooms are gorgeous. Beautiful linens, coffee pod machine, lovely amenities, plenty of space including a balcony (in our booked room). This was honestly just a gorgeous place to call home in Christchurch. Plus the food is incredible at the restaurant. We had breakfasts and dinner there and it was exceptional. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had (eggs Benedict with salmon). And the gym is awesome as well. Just a well thought out, considered hotel. Beautiful. We will be back every time we have to stay in Christchurch.
- John (8/5): As always it is a nice place to stay and we can take our pet. - The bread with breakfast could be better. The seafood soup is not at all nice - it too greasy and lacks seafood. See above
- dib409 (10/5): Another great night at Hotel Montreal - Great location, quaint atmosphere, lovely clean bright quiet room. Outstanding service and quality amenities.
- Anna (9/5): -
- Anthony (10/5): -

- 807allyc (10/5): Reliable and Pleasant Experience - I had another very pleasant stay at Hotel Montreal and, as with my previous visits, the experience was consistently excellent. I stayed in a Junior Suite for two nights while attending a family occasion, and despite arriving very late at around 2am, the check‑in process was smooth and welcoming. The team is always friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful, which is one of the main reasons I keep returning. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with all the amenities needed for a short stay. Everything was exactly as I’ve come to expect from Hotel Montreal — reliable and hassle‑free. The booking process was also very easy, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish. I consistently have very good stays here and would happily recommend this hotel to all types of travelers, whether visiting for business, leisure, or family occasions.
- Bridget (8/5): Had a great time - Lovely room, clean and comfortable, super location Nothing to dislike
- Guest (9/5): -
- michaelj726 (6/5): Unremarkable stay at the Hotel Montreal - We stayed two nights at the Hotel Montreal. The location is great — an easy walk to the fabulous botanic gardens, to the park, to the Riverside Market food mart and the downtown shops. Our room was spacious and comfortable, though pretty standard when it came to furnishings and amenities. The fitness center was average. E-Bikes are available to guests, which is a nice amenity, but they are stored in the fitness center. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we had no problems or complaints. Overall, the hotel is fine, though nothing special, and I think a bit pricey relative to the overall quality of the experience.
- Karla (5/5): - Nice location - 10 minutes walk to central Christchurch. Evening meal good. Entrance and welcome underwhelming - more like the entrance to a backpackers than a 4 star hotel. Totally ignored by staff at breakfast . Not approached or offered anything. Buffet offerings very average. Blasting a spray cleanser next to our table while eating was pretty unprofessional.
- Coastal00359412460 (10/5): Stunning room - Great room with great staff and food. Great place to stay in the city, close walk to everywhere
- 82SteveB (10/5): Good hotel - A good hotel in a very good location on the outskirts of Christchurch. A warm welcome, good clean room. Good parking facilities. Only problem was the restaurant closes at 21:00 as does the bar. We had to get a meal via room service but this was good when it arrived to the room.
- Samantha (10/5): Highly recommend Hotel Montreal, loved it 👌 - Beautiful room, comfy bed, welcoming and friendly staff. Excellent restaurant
- businesskayaker123 (10/5): Magnificent - My wife & I recently travelled to Christchurch to attend a conference. While searching for places to stay discovered Hotel Montreal, which is ideally situated a minutes' walk from beautiful Hagley Park, and a 5-minute walk to the Convention Centre and Riverside Eateries. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. I'd have to say the room we were given felt more like an apartment than a hotel room, and having a balcony was a bonus I hadn't expected. As we had hired a rental car, I was delighted to discover Hotel Montreal has ample off-street parking - and unlike some hotels, parking was free! We had a meal one night in the restaurant and found the ambience just right. The menu was excellent and I was spoilt for choice - being indecisive I could have chosen 3 of the main courses. If you are eating in, you won't be disappointed. With the central city park - Hagley Park being so close, we went walking most mornings, and evenings to the nearby Botanical Gardens and Heritage Arts Centre. I don't often write reviews, but I think my stay at Hotel Montreal deserves a mention. I thoroughly recommend staying here for the location, cleanliness & presentation of the hotel & room, and wonderful staff.
- Worldtraveller151 (6/5): Do NOT stay in the Tack Rooms! - I will be upfront - but for our experience with the specific room and situation, I might have given this at least a four star review. The fact there are three stars here is that despite our experience, I can see the charm of this hotel. Polite staff, willing to help. Location is just outside the main city, but yet walking distance to so many things. However, whatever you do, do NOT stay in the Tack Rooms. Tack rooms - there are two of them- are these large suites which look great in pictures. But that is where it stops. The room we were in - Montreal - was just poorly designed. Such a large room but no closet! No storage of any kind for your clothes! Furniture is low to the ground - great for a kid perhaps (and looks nice) but totally not usable without killing your back. But here is the worst part - the rooms are detached from the hotel. And totally exposed to streets outside. To get to the rooms you can take a short alley on the back of the hotel; but that alley has a gate at the end, which from desk locks down at night. The whole experience makes you feel a bit insecure. Now, this is Christchurch - very, very safe city. So, it was just a feeling.... until...our last night. We had a very early departure the next morning and needed our sleep. Just around midnight, we heard some noise outside; and then the door opened - and some stranger was in our room. We yelled - and immediately we heard the person mutter an apology and close the door. Can't really describe how we felt at that moment - being awakened was one thing but to have someone be in your room... well, we called the front desk to figure out what happened. Turns out it was the front desk person who had opened the door (meant to bring luggage for the other Tack room). Needless to say, our night was destroyed. The next morning as we are checking out, we mentioned what happened. It was clear that the new front desk person knew. However, rather than doing the right thing, it turned into a discussion of "we can give you free breakfast", and ended with some discount off the room for the final night. I have been in customer service before. Mistakes happen. Your guests don't want just another apology. The right thing to do would have been - before we even said anything on checkout - is to have the manager come over, apologize and say, "we destroyed one of our nights, we are not going to make you pay for it." That would have been the end of it.
- Bridget (8/5): Has a great time - Good facilities great location Nothing
- Christian (8/5): -
- H6802RFcaitlins (10/5): Great food, great service - Went to the restaurant at hotel Montreal. Was served by a super friendly and helpful waitress called Lucy. Great food, great service!
- Tane (10/5): -
- Michael (8/5): - Tack room was large and spacious and felt very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Certain parts of the room were left bit unclean like cobwebs in the bathroom, excess dust on furniture, under the bed and around the mirror. Also, the side door along the walkway was left unlocked, we realised after our first night because we were walking along the walkway and decided to check the door for no particular reason in which we were shocked to discover it was unlocked the whole time. Corner tack rooms do back onto the street and privacy and noise can become bit of an issue.
- FUNAOKA (9/5): -
- Yohki (9/5): -
- Stuart (8/5): -
- Charlie (10/5): Luxurious suite, very spacious, clean, super comfortable. Good restaurant - Continental breakfast was adequate, not really up to the standard of the hotel in general More options on the buffet
- Pierrick (10/5): -
- Captain Vaughan Williams (10/5): Excellent Service & Excellent Hotel - Top Class - Excellent front desk service on arrival and departure. The rooms are so luxurious, clean, tidy and very comfortable. Excellent restaurant service, succulent food and a very relaxing atmosphere throughout. Totally enjoyed my stay and only wish i could have had extra days in this hotel.
- Soner (9/5): -
- hunnyjar (10/5): Fabulous from top to bottom - We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The staff were warm and friendly, and also very helpful with pointing out places of interest nearby that we might want to check out (they also have helpful maps at the front desk, if you're interested). Our room (a junior suite) was HUGE! So many great seating options and room to spread out. We loved having the mini fridge and separate sink in the little kitchenette, plus they had some great tea options in the room as well, along with a kettle. The bed is really comfortable and the bathroom was well-appointed and clean. We had lunch at the hotel restaurant, and the mushroom ravioli and butternut squash risotto were delicious! The breakfast was great as well. My only thoughts for improvement would be to add USB outlets near the beds for overnight phone charging, and to add towel racks or hooks in the bathroom for the hand towels so there is somewhere to put those. Otherwise, I would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Christchurch!
- 953ruthd (8/5): Great staff team - We stayed here for three nights while visiting Christchurch in January 2026 - two adults and a teenager. The room layout was a little unconventional, with one queen bed in a bedroom by itself, and one in a section of the generously-proportioned living area. I think if we were coming again we would try for two regular adjoining rooms to provide additional privacy, but it was fine for three nights. Otherwise we would all rate this hotel highly. The beds were very comfy, and it was handy to have a kitchenette and a spacious living area with comfy chairs. Everything was clean. We ate three meals at the hotel restaurant and all were very good. Staff were all friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond on out day of departure - we were all checked in at the airport before realising that a backpack had been left in the hotel lobby, so the reception team organised a taxi to bring it out to us at the airport. They helped rescue what could have been a really challenging situation - so thank you very much! We hadn’t been to Christchurch before so weren’t too sure about the hotel’s location, and when we first arrived we were concerned we may have picked somewhere too far out of the centre, but it turned out to be great - an easy 10 or 15 minute walk to the riverside restaurants and Cathedral Square, but also handy for the gallery, Botanic Gardens, and a few closer cafes and restaurants. Overall a great family base for a visit to this lovely city.
- O7505HDbarryn (10/5): Ideal hotel to explore Christchurch - Lovely boutique type hotel ideally situated to explore central Christchurch. Room very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Staff really helpfull.
- Vicky (10/5): Was what we needed - Felt luxurious very calming space Prices at the restaurant
- Yuan (10/5): - 房間很大，很舒服，酒店裝修非常有品味
- Philip (10/5): - Very helpful staff clean lovely food good location particularly liked outdoor space All good
- Marie (9/5): - Lovely staff, nice food, homely spacious and comfortable rooms, great parking and location. I love that the hotel allows dogs to stay!
- michellehU5119DS (10/5): Hotel Montreal was the perfect choice for us. - We selected this hotel based on a friend's recommendation. We were very impressed with the hotel, the helpfulness of the staff, location was a nice quiet area, close to the tram, botanical gardens/park, and walking distance from the city center. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant because it was too gourmet for us, but we did enjoy a couple of drinks at the bar. We decided to rent a car for the day, and the hotel had connections to get us set up. It was very easy, and we enjoyed our own excursion to the Arthur's Pass area. We will definitely stay here again whenever we return.
- Robert (10/5): lovely hotel. Highly recommended - Had breakfast in our room as it is fitted with a kitchenette. Hotel a few minutes walk to gorgeous Hagley park and a few minutes drive to city centre. Staff all went out of their way to ensure our comfort. Food in restaurant delicious and our room was meticulously cleaned. Bed side tables. Totally impractical. Suggest replacing with a table with a draw. Otherwise, everything great and worked well
- Chad (4/5): Overvalued and not worth the high rates. - Large room. Not 5 star, dont know how it got that rating, maybe the room rate. Pillows were like a folded sheet, nothing to them, sheets had rips in them at the foot, building is dilapidated, food was sub standard, coffee was rubbish. Very disappointed for the price, if it was priced at 3-4star rates it would of been ok.
- Philip (10/5): Perfect place to use as a base for your activities - Central location, great restaurant, short walk to botanical gardens Nothing
- Goran (10/5): -
- Shazs (9/5): - Lovely big room with a balcony. Bed was extremely comfortable & the black out curtains were great. Great location. Was pretty expensive but was a birthday treat for my husband.
- dib409 (10/5): A must stay if you are in Christchurch. - Absolutely loved our night at the Hotel Montreal. The staff treated us like royalty, food was outstanding and the hotel room was immaculateand so spacious with top of the range tea and coffee. The location is in very easy walking distance to the centre of Christchurch. A very relaxing night away with the feeling that you could be anywhere in the world.
- Angelina (10/5): Highly recommend - Lovely spacious room. Beautiful food at the restaurant
- Dreamer306288 (10/5): GREAT stay in Christchurch at the Hotel Montreal. - From the time I checked in with Megan (and the chocolates/note from Katrina) to the time I checked out with Jean, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hotel Montreal. I loved my junior suite with balcony, two chairs, and a table. The bathroom was spacious, great shower and two sinks! The Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, and Moisturizer--the most AMAZING Scent (Cinnamon and Cedarwood)---but you cannot purchase it. I looked online and asked at the hotel--cannot purchase. FYI...opportunity to generate a little extra revenue because I would DEFINITELY have purchased the Body Wash and Lotion at least! Huge THANK YOU to Sherwin. I had a bit of an issue with dinner one evening and voiced it to Sherwin. He immediately and sincerely offered to comp a meal or a dish. I turned it down, but was really happy with his attempt. The next day, he again offered, but this time it was a cheese plate--which I could not resist. BELIEVE ME that cheese plate was DELICIOUS! Please tell me what the Blue Cheese was because THAT was one of the absolute best blues I had ever had! The cheese plate and the delicious Limoncello Spritz more than made up for the issue I had. Thank you again, Sherwin. I will go back to Christchurch Dec 2026 and definitely plan on staying at Hotel Montreal! By the way, the restaurant food was extremely good!
- Mary (10/5): Lovely comfortable place to stay with rooms beautifully decorated and clean - Staff very helpful. Megan even brought our passports to the train station when we realised that we had left them in the safe. Nothing
- vasileios (10/5): -
- Cheryl (8/5): Great location close to the cafes and park. Great service by staff, easy check in and room was clean and very comfortab - Location and the room size Lobby was too tight
- Journey47784748537 (10/5): Summer will be epic here! - Sensational Sunday afternoon vibes. DJ was playing some epic tunes on a hot, sunny afternoon. Aperol Spritz's were on point, pizzas were awesome, as were the warmed olives. Great courtyard to relax in. Service was friendly and efficient. If the DJ keeps spinning his tracks, we'll definitely be back!
- Michelle (9/5): Comfortable home away from home in Christchurch - Very cosy suite, much more roomy than I expected, and with a rooftop balcony to sit and watch the sun rise with a cup of tea. Helpful staff. Super comfy bed. Welcome card & chocolates. And handy location for the early morning train to scenic Picton. Very happy with my stay
- Riccardo (4/5): -
- nkmunn (8/5): Great rooms, appreciated ease of parking and onsite dining - Appreciated that room was really well laid out and nicely furnished with plenty of seating. Convenient off street parking much appreciated.
- J7769NZannej (10/5): Lovely boutique hotel - The hotel and staff were just amazing. From check in which was seamless and the front desk staff so friendly. The room was very comfortable and the bed extra comfy. The food in the restaurant was really good and a big thanks to Lucy , one of the happy friendly staff that work in the Bar and the restaurant, all the staff were so friendly and nothing was a problem. Would definitely return and highly recommend this lovely Hotel .
- gusdark (10/5): Art Community, Hotel Montreal and Christchurch's culture. - It was a great week at The Hotel Montreal, Christchurch. Everyone was so helpful! The sous chef, Rifqi, even took us to the supermarket on his way home during our first night at the hotel when we needed to get some things right away. The FO team was super charming and always helpful whenever I got a bit confused about where to go or how to spend the day. The room was awesome — super clean, spacious, and comfortable. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting New Zealand. Big thanks to the HK team! Shoutout to the kitchen team for helping me get a takeaway lunch for my wife while she was preparing for her dance performance and couldn’t join the lunch session. The food was amazing — loved the lamb skewers and sushi! If you have a bit of time, please check out my artworks displayed in front of Te Pae - convention center (on the light boxes)
- Sherrin (9/5): Tackroom was well appointed with all that was need to feel like a home away from home. - Great location with onsite parking included.

- Stephan (1/5): HORRIBLE stench in room ensures a VERY unpleasant stay - The room was very large and the hotel is close to the bus that runs between the city centre and airport. There is a large park nearby and the hotel appears to be new. Our room absolutely reeked of something that smelled like stale sweat or cat urine. When we first entered the room with the receptionist we thought the smell was due to the fact that the room may not have been used for awhile. We had a 'non-refundable' rate and couldn't afford to find somewhere else as we had been forced to spend an unexpected extra night in Christchurch because our flight had been cancelled. We simply hoped that if we opened all the windows while we went out the strong wind and fresh air would eliminate the smell. When we returned it was somewhat better but by the time we woke up the following morning the room stank the same as when we first entered it. We complained to the same receptionist when we checked out about the stench and she claimed not to have been aware of it but would notify the cleaning staff. It is incomprehensible that none of the hotel's employees knew how badly this room stank or brought it to anyone's attention. Instead, the fact that this hotel was willing to put guests into this room demonstrates that it is primarily if not solely interested in its bottom line and not the well-being (health?) of its customers. Perhaps its other rooms stink less than the one we had but we definitely won't be giving Hotel Montreal another chance.
- YCStravelling123 (10/5): Luxurious room, fantastic service. - Luxurious room, great service! The owner Michael Patterson personally drove us to the airport early the next morning after our impromptu stay, due to our flight being diverted from Wgtn. A beautiful place to stay. Thank you!!

- natalie (8/5): Not quite up to snuff but pleasantly furnished & well ddvirated. - Convenience of on-site restaurant, spacious suite Someone visiting another guest on our hall somehow entered our room by mistake though our door was shut - that was totally weird. Restaurant experience was a bit odd too, though we had a dining reservation and only a handful of tables were seated we were not readily greeted when we entered the dining area though three staff were behind the bar. Then after we were seated it was again a bit of a long wait for water & a menu, & opportunity to order a drink. Then, several items on menu turned out to be unavailable and our first choices turned to second choices, which turned to third choices. Our waters weren't refilled, no dessert or after dinner drinks were offered - whole experience felt a bit haphazard - like the chef or owner was "away" or something ?
- janine (9/5): Hotel Montreal is a lovely boutique style hotel. Great if you’re out & about until after 10.30pm - Spacious room. Comfy bed. Fab location Noisy from hotel events in restaurant directly below us & outside. Wanted a quiet Sunday arvo read & chill but dj playing was very noisy so no chance of any peace.
- Simon (10/5): - Well located and friendly staff. Street side rooms a bit noisy from traffic. Recommended
- Sightsee781697 (10/5): Spacious, genuinely welcoming, great food, well located - Absolutely loved this gem of a hotel. I had the regular suite which was very spacious with a lounge area and comfortable king bed. When I arrived, there was a hand written note and special chocolates. The a la carte breakfast was superb with the barista making a great coffee. So many gluten free options for a Coeliac. I loved the short walk less than 10 min from the conference centre. On arrival back after a long busy day, it was like coming home. A friendly welcome, a seat at the bar for a fabulous cocktail or gin and tonic. The dinner menu is superb, (amazing rump steak). Great friendly service from lovely locals. It would be even better when the weather is fine to enjoy the courtyard. Definitely give this lovely boutique hotel a go over the big common multinationals and experience NZ hospitality. Get breakfast included. I was lucky to get a package deal on luxury escapes but price was very reasonable.
- Ernst (10/5): Great Hotel, superb staff and facilities, great parking and location. 100% awesome. - Originally scheduled to stay for a couple of nights, my wife and I ended up with a serious case of the flu on arrival. We managed to extend our stay by an extra 3 days. This was a lifesaver for us and our dogs. The staff here are exceedingly kind and helpful, and I mean all of them. We have stayed at lots of places, at both ends of the spectrum but the Montreal is a whole other level of great. Beds,rooms,bathroom,balcony and basically everything else is top notch,100% spot on. Thank you so much for looking after us. As above you guys did fantastic all around. If I had my way a couple of mugs in the room as opposed to the teacups and saucers would be more my style. Fat fingers you see....!

- tonisR8877UJ (10/5): So relaxing - We have just had a fabulous stay at Hotel Montreal last weekend. The room was stunning, such a comfortable bed and I wanted to take the pillows home. We have stayed at this hotel before as we love the relaxed atmosphere, the staff are always so friendly and the location is excellent. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an excellent hotel experience.
- Becs (10/5): -
- Helen (10/5): Convenient and comfortable place to stay for a few days. - Very friendly and a warm welcome. The reception area has a cosy relaxed feel about it. Intimate and not at all corporate. Plenty of parking. Our junior suite had a sofa and 2 comfortable chairs and a table and chairs. Good selection of teas and coffees. Clean. Lots of space for suitcases. We had dinner on one night which we really enjoyed and went back for dessert on another evening having had a main course elsewhere. Also delicious. Staff also gave us ideas on places to visit which proved to be helpful. Very close to Botanical Gardens and a short walk into main shopping area. Nothing
- Anna (10/5): - lovely reception, bar and eating area
- normad88 (8/5): Central location with warm friendly service staff - This was our last stop on our NZ driving holiday starting from Queenstown. We stayed in four hotels altogether. We chose the Montreal for its convenient location near the Botanic Gardens and other attractions. We had a family suite which had a bed ‘area’ for our adult son, vs a separate room like the hotel in Queenstown. It wasn’t ideal as we couldn’t really use the sitting room which is just next to the open bed area. The nice part of our stay was the helpful gentleman at the reception desk and the friendly young staff at the bar restaurant. The bar was a nice hangout place for me as it was quiet area. Special mention goes to Ella, Isla and Ruby who were helpful in recommending wine and dining options nearby. For breakfast we were served by Kume who was personable and warm and helped get us to a good start in the morning. It was a nice place to spend our last nights in NZ.

- Xingyao (10/5): - We love the location of the hotel, always feel warm welcome from the staffs. Parking is easy and free. Walkable distance to park and restaurant in the city.
