The Bella vista had everything you could want for a stay in Christchurch. Bed was comfortable and clean. Room serviced daily. Ironing board and iron, fan for hot nights, microwave and fully stocked kitchenette. Was just a little tired in decor but we had a very comfortable stay and really had not one thing to complain about.

I appreciated the friendly welcome at reception very much - and was also delighted that I got upgraded from a studio to a 1 bed unit. The units are showing their age, but everything was clean and tidy - plus the bed was very comfortable.

Good location right near the heart of Christchurch. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. The only negative was the fact the toilet and bedrooms were on the third floor which made it a bit difficult for my 75 year old Mum.

A great spacious family unit and the service from the moment you arrive is very welcoming and friendly. Perfect for large families. Third room is small so best not for an adult but great for kids or teens. But a great stay! We will be back.

This place was clean, quiet and comfy. We didn't like the step, narrow stairwell to drag our suitcases. Once in the 2nd floor living, kitchen and dining rooms, you have to climb another set of stairs to the bedrooms & bathroom.
