Perfect place to stay in central Christchurch

Lovely bed great bathroom and fantastic location for going anywhere. Good parking and and air conditioning that really works… will stay here again.
Stephen, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite, good setup to have 2 bedrooms and a living area with kitchen. The rooms were clean but show some signs of wear and tear. The bedroom with 2 twin beds had a nice closet and suitcase stand, the bedroom with queen bed had only night tables-no place to put a suitcase. I had read that it was in a good location, close to the CBD, but we didn’t find that. It’s in a quiet area, but not close enough to walk to the CBD. There is parking, which is good.

Great location..easy walk to the stadium. Booked because of other reviews and wasn’t disappointed😊

Fantastic lodgings

We chose this motel for its proximity to the train station, so it's slightly far from the main shopping/dining area. However, the room is fantastic with full amenities. The staff was very nice as well, giving us a room that was ready even though we arrived 4 hours before check-in time.

10/10 Exceptional

The Golden Star hotel is it within walking distance of the train station. It's located in a commercial area, but we were extremely happy with the hotel itself. It was very clean and comfortable. The manager was extremely proactive and took care of the issues we were having which were very minor. I highly recommend this hotel.

Pleasant Stay in Christchurch

The owner was very helpful, explaining the various ways we could get downtown. The motel is within easy walking distance of the railway station which is why we chose it.
