Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a high standard stay with very clean rooms, great dining options including a cafe style, bar, and Asian restaurant. The service, however, lacked effort in satisfying guests. The location is fine, though not allowing easy access to the hotel entrance. Dining was excellent with discreet service and a great variety of foods.
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms, but the bathroom design is outdated resembling a scene from a 1970's movie. The service is friendly and attentive, although the suggestion to only drink tap water might not suit everyone. The location is ideal for exploring the city, with multiple dining options nearby. The dining experience varies from poor to excellent depending on the restaurant choice, but overall, options are abundant. The facilities are well-maintained with certain areas needing improvement.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional! The rooms were modern, clean, and quiet, with two cozy queen-sized beds that offered a comfortable night's sleep. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff members always ready to assist. The location was ideal, centrally situated in Christchurch, allowing easy access to various attractions. The dining experience was delightful, especially at the lower cafe offering delicious food. Overall, a fantastic value for money stay with excellent facilities.
I was thrilled with our stay at the Crowne! The room's layout with a direct view of the bed was fantastic, and the decent breakfast was just what we needed. On the flip side, not having in-room tea/coffee or a kettle was a bit of a miss for me.
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms that are very quiet, comfortable, and clean. However, the experience is let down by an old-style bathroom, which feels outdated compared to the rest of the room. The staff is very helpful and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms are of a high standard, very clean, with great dining options including a cafe-style, bar, and Asian restaurant. The king bed was very comfortable, and the amenities were attractive. The modern and beautifully decorated room was complemented by the very helpful and friendly staff.
