Top Cathedral Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Give

8/10 Good

"Hotel Give was comfortable and very reasonable price. Good location. Clean and tidy."

Christchurch City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Klaudine and Esther were friendly, helpful and always had a smile. The hotel was right in the heart of the city- walking distance to everything! The room was very clean and spacious for 3 adults. We had breakfast included in our booking however the buffet was fairly simple but we could order hot breakfast (egg, bread, veggies). Parking around the corner for $10 per exit was great and approx 3 min walk"

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Great Location, 5 min walk to One NZ staduim for the rugby. Close to the CBD. Plenty of Food and Drink places. Hotel staff were friendly and Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast for the 3 days we stayed was satisfactory. Hot and cold options. Would definately consider returning."

The Observatory Hotel Christchurch

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located on the grounds of the former University of Canterbury campus in Christchurch, which made for a unique experience. The historic setting gives the property plenty of character and atmosphere. The common lounge area of the hotel is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a tea or coffee. The rooms are clean and comfortable however they are quite small. Overall a nice stay"

Bealey Quarter

2/10 Terrible

"The staff were courteous. The loo was blocked, the bed was blood soiled (not noted till waking in the morning) and the walls in the bathroom rotten. The light was not sufficient for anything other than ambiance. Drinking water to be sourced from same area as human waste. Lovely shower. The fridge identified as a freezer and froze the contents before morning. Likely won’t stay again."
