Top Waltham Hotel Reviews

Novotel Christchurch Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel walking distance from terminal. No issues checking in at 3.30am after delayed flight and we were able to get a late checkout if 12pm."

Bealey Quarter

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and well kept. However the bed was probably slightly too big for the room. The person sleeping near the window had to climb over the bed to get out as it was too close to the window. I think the shower head in our room needs replacing. Also fur a 2 night stay for 2 adults - why was there only 2 shampoos and 2 body washes? Why not 4 to cover the 2 day stay? The room could also do with aircon."

Sudima Christchurch Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Shuttle Driver was outstanding. I suggested to the front desk staff upon departure that signs should be posted in the guest room floor hallways reminding hotel guests to be quiet at all times as being an airport hotel, patrons are attempting to sleep at all times of the day. My suggestion was well received."

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"BreakFree On Cashel is a great choice if you’re looking for centrally located accommodation in Christchurch at a very reasonable price. The hotel is right in the heart of the city, with tons of dining and shopping options within easy walking distance. It’s also extremely convenient for public transportation, just a short walk from the central bus hub and tram stops, and only two blocks from the new stadium. I stayed for six nights and found the room comfortable, particularly the wonderful bed and great shower. My room was an internal room with no windows, which was quite small and would likely be a tight fit for two people travelling with luggage. Something to keep in mind when booking. Breakfast was good, although the selection became a little repetitive over six mornings. Laundry facilities are conveniently available on three floors, which is a nice bonus for travellers on longer trips. Overall, a very good value hotel in an excellent location. Comfortable, convenient and affordable. I’d happily stay here again!"
