At Captain's Club Hotel & Spa, travellers highlight the scenic riverside location, spacious rooms with views, and friendly, helpful staff, alongside consistently praised breakfasts and enjoyable dining, while noting occasional service slip-ups and some minor room maintenance or noise issues.
Cleanliness earns frequent praise, though a few guests noticed lapses such as stained carpets or not-pristine bathrooms. The compact spa area (pool and sauna) is relaxing but feels modest to some. Expect a comfortable stay with warm service and a few manageable quirks.

Such a lovely hotel , amazing view of the river , was given a upgrade wow it was a 2 bedroom apartment floor to ceiling window in lounge to relax and watch the boats sail by what more could we ask for . The food was all delicious, we had breakfast , lunch and dinner , staff were all very friendly . The hydropool in spa was relaxing everywhere was clean . There were a couple of niggles in the room , the bed was making creaking noises every movement which was a bit annoying so maybe the bedstead was loose ? But other than that it was very comfortable to sleep in , the rooms were incredibly warm so had to open windows couldn’t see any heating on anywhere , one bedside lamp wasn’t working , one of the bathroom sink plunger plugs was very hard to let water out when sink was full it worked eventually , and after a day everytime we opened the room door it started to stick and had to pull door towards us first in order for it to release to get in , all these are easily fixable so we didn’t complain as we were only there for 2 days and we had a lovely stay and would defiantly stay there again

Hotel was clean tidy and welcoming. The "spa" is a very small pool and sauna. It was warm and quiet when we went so we were happy but its not a Spa. The breakfast was amazing - worth the wait as it seems every breakfast is cooked fresh to order. It certainly tasted like that. Lovely river side room.

Had a lovely stay here with my Granddaughter, we enjoyed massages and the spa pool and sauna, all very relaxing. Delicious and very filling breakfast. Lovely large room with views over the river. Would have given 5 stars but the requested twin was not made up and there was an event whose Disco was loud and went on until midnight.

The hotel experience was mediocre. The telephone in the room was out of order, leaving no way to contact reception or room service without physically going to the front desk. There was also no mobile signal, so using a mobile phone wasn’t an option either. The spa was fine but lacked atmosphere; as the only guest there, no refreshments were offered to help me relax. The room carpet had a visible stain, despite attempts to conceal it. Although the website claimed to offer 24-hour room service, this was not the case. When I returned to the hotel at 2 a.m., I was met by the night porter, who was also cleaning. Upon asking about room service, the only option offered was a chicken sandwich, which he would prepare, so I ended up going to bed hungry. However, I can’t fault the staff, as they were all friendly and polite.

Really lovely stay for one night in a recently refurbished roomy double with lovely shower room and view across the river. Comfortable bed and well sound proofed. Didn’t have dinner but had beautifully made cocktails in the bar as a nightcap. Can recommend!! Breakfast was served efficiently by friendly staff, my only small complaint was that my breakfast was served lukewarm on cold plates. Will definitely return soon!!

Wonderful hotel, fabulous situation great location. Perfect for a stay in Christchurch. Staff were very hospitable. Lauren Jane and Sam were incredible. The only thing we need to watch is keeping the public toilet clean it lets them down. Also miss having the touches like tablecloth's at dinner in a separate restaurant that used to be. Also, the fish knife is having fish and the steak knife they're having steak. Also missed seeing the Porter at the door to be able to help in with luggage. Just those little fine touches are missed. Again making sure a glass of white wine is chilled enough is imperative. All these things are minor and the majority of the things they have right They also had a new lady on the podium as you went to the restaurant with the dark hair. We arrived on a Saturday and she was incredible. Totally engaging on top of her game, incredibly good maître D. She's so outstanding any hotel would be headhunting her. She makes a great benchmark for training new staff she will go a long way for sure! We look forward to our next stay at The Captains Club very much... well done !!

First impression, on arrival was pleasant location and staff fairly hospitable. Room a good size, clean and lovely view of river, however some niggles overshadowed this by inadequate instructions on some of the room facilities eg. room safe. It was noisy at times, as outside seating area below window. I am also disappointed there was no small chiller/fridge in room especially in an expensive hotel as this. . Restaurant staff very helpful and restaurant was pleasant. Overall unsure if I would return to this establishment.

Lovely stay out of season. Hotel food was excellent with good choices at breakfast and dinner. Small problem at check out when they tried to charge for our stay a second time, but soon sorted out.

Wonderful hotel, fabulous situation great location. Perfect for a stay in Christchurch. Staff were very hospitable. Lauren Jane and Sam were incredible. The only thing we need to watch is keeping the public toilet clean it lets them down. Also miss having the touches like tablecloth's at dinner in a separate restaurant that used to be. Also, the fish knife is having fish and the steak knife they're having steak. Also missed seeing the Porter at the door to be able to help in with luggage. Just those little fine touches are missed. Again making sure a glass of white wine is chilled enough is imperative. All these things are minor and the majority of the things they have right They also had a new lady on the podium as you went to the restaurant with the dark hair. We arrived on a Saturday and she was incredible. Totally engaging on top of her game, incredibly good maître D. She's so outstanding any hotel would be headhunting her. She makes a great benchmark for training new staff she will go a long way for sure! We look forward to our next stay at The Captains Club very much... well done !!

First impression, on arrival was pleasant location and staff fairly hospitable. Room a good size, clean and lovely view of river, however some niggles overshadowed this by inadequate instructions on some of the room facilities eg. room safe. It was noisy at times, as outside seating area below window. I am also disappointed there was no small chiller/fridge in room especially in an expensive hotel as this. . Restaurant staff very helpful and restaurant was pleasant. Overall unsure if I would return to this establishment.

Had a lovely stay here with my Granddaughter, we enjoyed massages and the spa pool and sauna, all very relaxing. Delicious and very filling breakfast. Lovely large room with views over the river. Would have given 5 stars but the requested twin was not made up and there was an event whose Disco was loud and went on until midnight.

Such a lovely hotel , amazing view of the river , was given a upgrade wow it was a 2 bedroom apartment floor to ceiling window in lounge to relax and watch the boats sail by what more could we ask for . The food was all delicious, we had breakfast , lunch and dinner , staff were all very friendly . The hydropool in spa was relaxing everywhere was clean . There were a couple of niggles in the room , the bed was making creaking noises every movement which was a bit annoying so maybe the bedstead was loose ? But other than that it was very comfortable to sleep in , the rooms were incredibly warm so had to open windows couldn’t see any heating on anywhere , one bedside lamp wasn’t working , one of the bathroom sink plunger plugs was very hard to let water out when sink was full it worked eventually , and after a day everytime we opened the room door it started to stick and had to pull door towards us first in order for it to release to get in , all these are easily fixable so we didn’t complain as we were only there for 2 days and we had a lovely stay and would defiantly stay there again

Hotel was clean tidy and welcoming. The "spa" is a very small pool and sauna. It was warm and quiet when we went so we were happy but its not a Spa. The breakfast was amazing - worth the wait as it seems every breakfast is cooked fresh to order. It certainly tasted like that. Lovely river side room.

Really lovely stay for one night in a recently refurbished roomy double with lovely shower room and view across the river. Comfortable bed and well sound proofed. Didn’t have dinner but had beautifully made cocktails in the bar as a nightcap. Can recommend!! Breakfast was served efficiently by friendly staff, my only small complaint was that my breakfast was served lukewarm on cold plates. Will definitely return soon!!
