Hostels in Waimakariri District

"Great choice if looking for a budget option near the airport. Amenities were quite nice, bathroom was clean, and staff was very helpful. Not a ton of space, but very doable for a night or two."

"Second time staying here, excellent as always."

"All good for a 1-Star property. Comfy bed. A good night's sleep. I am a return traveller. Will be back again, at some time in the future. Cheers."

"Well run establishment. Toilet seat on first floor was loose but no other issues."

"The motel is conveniently located and good value for money. It is basic but we didn't come to Christchurch to spend time in the room and it was fine."

"Great location. Clean room"

Took 5 phone calls to get keys to our room sorted."

"The location of this place was great, and the staff were friendly. However the kitchen was dirty and had very few usable utensils or tools, the locks on the bathrooms didn't work, some of the lights wouldn't turn on, and all of the surfaces in our room were slightly sticky. Also, although I realise this isn't something the management have any control over, my children were exposed to language that I was extremely uncomfortable with from other guests."

"Nice place with very friendly staff!"

"Poor environmental hygiene and unfriendly services provided by the female staff: 1) Towel of the precedent was displaced on the corridor to ny room. Nobody did any warship in the pantry and bathroom. 2) I had requested for the login and password of the WiFi for several times but the unhelpful female staff in the reception of the office insisted to offer any assistance. Then I asked her if there was any pillow case provided. The female staff replied that pillow case should be bought but is...

"Basic, adequate for price charged"
