Highly recommend this hotel, it was five star but not stuffy. We had a suite, very spacious, bedding real comfortable. Park across the street and you are within walking distance to the tram and restaurants. The bar and restaurant a little dated but very comfortable and staff is great!

We only had one night in The George before returning home but it was brilliant. We had a junior suite and it was perfect. Loads of space, super comfortable bed and super bathroom. We ate in the bar as there was staffing issues and no availability in the Bistro, however the food was good and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Location was good but with limited time to explore, we will head back to this hotel on return to Christchurch. The staff we great - friendly and did everything they could to help.

Excellent stay with friendly and helpful staff in this boutique luxury hotel. We were welcomed with chocolates and a gift bear, “George.” The lobby was very welcoming with multiple seating areas. There were complimentary apples in baskets on the different floors. There is a reading library and an outdoor garden, as well. Our room was very well appointed and comfortable. We could not hear our neighbors. The restaurant was excellent. The food was well prepared. We would gladly eat there again. The park with botanical gardens is right across the street.

A good location and the laundry facilities and self-parking are big pluses. However, the ground floor room we had was a bit noisy with traffic from the parking lot and the street. The staff at the front desk ranged from great to just ok depending on who was there. Overall, a fine place to stay but definitely more of a nice small boutique hotel than a five star hotel.

Great place to stay while in Christchurch! Staff is friendly and very responsive.

The rooms are clean, well maintained, and the hotel is conveniently located close to the Riverside Market, and other attractions.

After spending 3 weeks touring New Zealand in a motorhome we dropped it off and headed to the George Hotel. It seemed like heaven,large room,very comfortable bed and we were met by friendly helpful staff. The following day we had to get to the airport but the roads were closed because of the marathon going past the hotel,they offered to help with bags to a place that the taxi could pick us up. Lovely little gingerbread bears and chocolates left in room on return from our meal. If we are ever in Christchuch again would definitely return.
