- SUN (9/5): -
- Mike (3/5): Disappointing. When checking out I was met with some sympathy and "we'll fix this for the next guest - Check in was great and room very clean. Although not a fan of cushions leaning on the pillows as I suspect the covers are not often changed. The wardrobe had an automatic light that keept coming on every 5 minutes around 2 - 6 am. I had a terrible sleep.
- Dave (4/5): - Complicated light switching system.
Dated / faulty shower.
Food ordered at the bar was below the standard we have received in past visits.
- Laura (8/5): Great location, handy for theatre and city activities, Also, car parking easy - N/a I like a comfy armchair when on holiday. The window seat was good but prefer chair

- Pushkar (10/5): Top choice in CHC - Crowne Plaza Christchurch — Review
Stayed at Crowne Plaza Christchurch towards the end of our South Island trip, and it turned out to be a very solid choice—especially for convenience and comfort.
What worked really well:
* Location: Superb. Right in the city center, walking distance to key spots like the tram, riverside, and shopping areas. Ideal for a relaxed last day.
* Service: Very efficient. Communication over WhatsApp was quick and responsive—requests were handled without friction.
* Rooms: Spacious, well-designed, and comfortable. The added sitting area and city views made it feel less like a transit stay and more like a proper unwind.
* Food: Reliable late-night dining option, which is quite valuable when you’re wrapping up a long travel day.
* Parking: Paid parking available—convenient and straightforward.
Overall:
A highly dependable city hotel that gets the fundamentals right—location, comfort, and service. Particularly suitable for short stays or as a base before departure. Paid parking is costly at $25 per night
- Simon (8/5): -
- Jeff (9/5): -
- Lianne (9/5): Great location, rooms were spacious and very comfortable - Location was perfect. Tram stop right opposite the entrance so great for sight seeing with limited time We had a balcony and the glass was filthy so appearance not so great
- Supravee (9/5): - The room met standard expectations and was clean, with a typical city view.Close to the accommodation, there is a nice area where you can walk and relax.
- May (10/5): Wonderful - Being central to eateries and shopping. Nothing
- Campbell (8/5): Low hotel room ceiling - Bar and reception staff super friendly Old tired mattress in room 212, low ceiling in disabled room creates problems with tall guests (I hit my head twice on low beams) !

- YOKO (8/5): 上級なビジネスホテルという感じ。 - 2階レストランが、周りの飲食店と変わらないくらい、もしくはお得なくらいで特段に美味しかった。
街の中心地とまではいかないが、不自由はなかった。 3人で予約、金額も払っているはず。だが、コップ、タオル類が2名対応なのは不満が残る。
夜間、中国の方が廊下で大声を出されていたのが気になった。

- Kat (7/5): -
- Rajat (7/5): -
- Karlo (8/5): Very comfortable rooms/facilities ..would happily book again - Comfortable rooms/cleanliness Reception staff seemed a little inexperienced with some lack of knowledge when it comes to answering basic queries. Most eating options were in City Centre (not next to Hotel). Hotel food prices were a little expensive in comparison to most other restaurants..
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Philip (8/5): Penny Pinching! - The hotel is modern and the rooms are comfortable Breakfast. The cook could not manage it took over30 mins for a pancake! Also the hotel charges a surcharge on all credit card transactions- ridiculous when they ask for a credit card for payment. I understand small businesses making a charge but an international chain. Really !!!!
- Reid (9/5): -
- Chris (9/5): Good - Room layout Breakfast : hash browns soggy , bacon was like hard rubber
- jimcB3353LE (4/5): I doubt if we will be back even as we are rewards members. - We arrived after 3 in the afternoon and the first thing the desk clerk told me was the room was ready yet. As we came for my brother-in-laws funeral, we were already upset and stressed so he didn't help the situation at all. I had a paid reservation in advance. He then said he found us a room and that's all it was as it was very small and they kept changing the room temperture all the time which really sucked. Most staff were great and the buffet bnreakfast was the best. I am a rewards member but wasn't treated like one. I'm not sure if we would stay again as the manager (nicke? ) told me on the phone to see her when we came but she was off the whole time we were there. The dinner menu had a lot to be disered for as the choices were not very good and terrible expensive. The man at the desk just gave us our room cards and we didn't even know how to operate the elevator and he had to come twice to help us. Then when we finally got to our room there was no instructions how to operate the TV or the air temperture, so it was all just a guess to try and figure things out. Very bad welcome coming from Hamilton already stressed. There are a few more upsets at your hotel but no body cares so that's enough. Doubt if we will be there again. The George sounds a nicer place anyway. Very small rooms for a king size bed.

- Zigmeister10 (10/5): Lovely Hotel Centrally Located! - This hotel is very centrally located and right across the street from a lovely park. Restaurants were a short walk away with tons of restaurants to choose from. The museum and botanical gardens are also a short walk away.
We had a lovely room on the 8th floor with a balcony overlooking the part. Sitting outside watching the sun set over the little city was lovely!
On our last few days there, our flights through Dubai were cancelled which was very stressful for us. The night manager at the hotel was so kind and allowed us to use their phone to try and contact our travel agent. She went above and beyond to help us and we are very grateful to her. I wish I could remember her name. It was the night of March 9th or 10th as I recall.
The hotel also has lovely amenities. Don't miss the breakfast! We will definitely be staying at IHG hotels in the future!

- Ellen (10/5): -
- Nicola (7/5): Central location for a pleasant short stay - Good central location, parking was close (although pricey) and good view from our room Could have been cleaner, our bathroom needed attention and there were no extra blankets in the room, despite asking for some.
- Macaela (10/5): -
- Suzanne (8/5): Good. - Room was lovely. Bed very comfortable. Cost was more than what I expected from when I booked the room in January.
- Yuen Ling Charlotte (8/5): - Good quality food in restaurant

- Greenfielder (10/5): Lovely welcome to New Zealand - This hotel was an excellent start to an extended visit to New Zealand. We were able to check in immediately around midday and set about exploring this beautiful city. The hotel has a very convenient location and is just by the Victoria Square stop on the city's tourist tram. Comfortable, clean room and an excellent breakfast.
- Kerry (10/5): - Central to the city, was clean and tidy and quiet
- Kylie (9/5): -

- Kelsi (9/5): Enjoyed this stay, a lovely place to both relax and explore - Location was great. Clean and comfortable. Room service was delicious
- Valda (8/5): Excellent location, beds and pillows extra comfy - All went well on the most part I rang and booked an extra bed for the first night. This was not forthcoming. In the end I didn't need it because my husband did not come with me but it was disappointing that I was not given the option.
- Zijia (5/5): -
- Dani (6/5): Great location, comfy beds, modern bathroom, helpful staff - Front of house staff were great, super helpful. Professional and polite. Helped us get an earlier check in when we enquired and a late check out which was appreciated. Great location! When we got to our room there were only 3 towels when 4 of us were staying there. Called at 4pm to get a new towel to reception and it never came, called again at 9pm and it came then. Upon check in on Saturday Housekeeping kept the dirty linens and room service dirty plates and trays in the hallway most of the day.
- Diane (8/5): -
- Glenn (10/5): Would stay again, skip the breakfast though. - Easy check in, secure parking, great location. The lighting in the room (1411) was a pain to fathom what switch did what.
Breakfast was a huge let down. We complained about the temperature of the hot food two out of three visits. No outcome of complaints were received.
A guest laundry would be great, even the Ibis has one!
