Location was out of the city center but within easy reach. Off street parking. Modern rooms, well insulated from neighbouring room noise. The staff were lovely and helpful. Loved climing into a properly made bed each night, unlike other places that only pull up the bedding as part of their daily house keeping. The daily breakfast supplies were a bonus and not just toast and cereal, but extras including a chocolate. On top of all that, it was reasonably priced too. The only negative for our room was water damage to the curtain over the balcony sliding door which damaged the blockout making the room very light in the morning. Other than that, we had a brilliant stay.

The moment I stepped into the room, I was impressed by the spaciousness of the room. There are two queen size beds and a two seater sofa is placed in between the two beds. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. And there is a mini kitchen at one corner with kitchenware provided that is sufficient for you to cook a simple meal. The bathroom is spacious too. It would be perfect if the sink countertop is wider since there is sufficient space. I like the room as everything is cleaned and look new. My family will stay there again if we visit Christchurch again.

The staff was superb. Our luggage did not arrive from Auckland and Air New Zealand had it sent to the hotel. The front desk had it waiting in our room for just us. The actual room was beyond what we expected, coming from the US and not knowing the hotel location, it exceeded what we thought. Two beautiful rooms that were well-appointed with a porch with chairs Snd outdoor tabke awaiting our last evening‘s coffee.

The motel was great. Close proximity to transport and shops. Bed was comfortable, kitchenette was handy to have. Carpet in room was a little tired. Reception friendly and helpful. Had a minor issue with the heat pump and it was attended to immediately and we were also given a heater. Perhaps a small chest of drawers in the bedroom to store clothing and a broom and/or a dustpan and brush would be helpful. Enjoyed our five day stay and will return to the V Motel. It’s a great place.
