What guests think

Sudima Hotel Christchurch Airport is praised for its walk-to-terminal location and 24/7 free shuttle, consistently friendly staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms that work well for late arrivals or early flights.

Reviews note an older wing with dated or worn bathrooms, weak or awkward showers, and some small or windowless rooms; a few also mention hallway noise, spotty Wi-Fi, and confusing heating or cooling controls. On-site dining and room-service robots receive mixed feedback, with praise for convenience but complaints about high breakfast pricing or limited options.

Outstanding stay - free transfer from airport on demand; checked us in early - before 12noon - and gave us a free room upgrade. Even transferred us to our off-airport car rental firm the following morning for free. Staff were really friendly, helpful and welcoming. Room was spacious, clean and well equipped. We slept well! The fresh milk brought up for our tea & coffee was also a really nice touch. All in all, exceptional for an airport hotel.

The Sudima is conveniently located a few hundred metres from the airport so is perfect for late night arrivals. We caught the shuttle bus from the airport but walked back to get the rental car the following day as it was only a 5 minute walk. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spotlessly clean but we were surprised that there were rooms that did not have lift access. We were not aware of this when we booked or we would have requested one on the other side of the hotel that did not require us carrying our luggage up a flight of stairs. The bathrooms are modern but there was no rail for the hand towel and it would be better if the liquid soap was closer to the basin than the moisturiser.

We stayed one night to break up a long drive. The reception area is bright and modern but the rooms are tired with old carpet, chipped paint, and old bathrooms. There was a pair of dirty socks from the previous guest on the floor and the glasses in the bathroom had toothpaste in them. Convenient location near the airport with plenty of free parking, it was fine for a night as linen was clean and beds were comfy.

The staff were very professional & friendly. The dining accommodations were mediocre with no “atmosphere”. The room was acceptable and clean but a little tired. The bathroom sink was cracked and the grout in the shower appeared stained or moldy. Overall not terrible but I expected more from the Sudima brand and room cost.

Convenience is the only reason to stay here. The room was very basic, dark, dated and not very comfortable. Main issue was the bathroom, with extensive mould in the shower walls and floor, and the water from the shower head can’t be adjusted so am not sure if it’s just buildup of gunk affecting the flow, but couldn’t redirect water to where needed. Desperately needs updating. Service at checkin and out however, was good.

If you need to be near the airport, this hotel is a FABULOUS location! You can easily walk to it from the airport, it's right next to a bunch of restaurants and also Woollies. It's also right next to the Antarctic Centre, which is a must visit. The hotel is well looked after and staff are excellent. The room is great except for a very impractical bathroom - tiny pedestal sink with no bench top, so extremely limited space to put your stuff on. Layout of open shower area next to sink is also awkward. The new executive wing has a small bench top around the sink and a better shower set up so see if you can get one of those rooms instead (the rest of the room is great, whether the regular or executive style).

Sudima Christchurch Airport was great. The hotel has two wings & I was given a free upgrade to a large room in the newer wing. Room very clean. Bed had soft mattress & pillows. Nice TV with a very simple to use tv remote. My room also had an Alexa device which made setting a wake up alarm extremely easy. The room swipe card will get you back into the hotel if it's after 11pm.( At both entrances.) And there's also an intercom at the entrances. Very little noise from planes & both wings of the hotel are well back from the road so pretty much zero road noise. It's about a 10 minute walk to the international terminal - just be careful crossing the road! However Sudima does have a free shuttle as well!

Arrived to find we had wrong room but was so tired just dealt with it, the next morning when confronted about it they said we was actually upgraded but when listening to other guests at reception they all had been told the same thing. The room was overall clean but we found hairs on bed and bathroom needed a deeper scrub. The bar shut early and when reception was confronted about this by another guest the next morning they denied it and said they was wrong i then had to step in and say that the other guest was telling the truth. I was also supposed to get a disscount on the food and beverage that was never received. Overall the staff are rude and arrogant often accusing guests of being wrong and with an attitude that is not fit for customer facing roles. The only staff member that was good was the night shuttle bus driver.
