What guests think

Across the reviews, The Redwood Hotel comes through as an older, budget-friendly stay with notably friendly, helpful staff, easy parking at the door, and a handy on-site bar and restaurant that many guests use after long drives.

Rooms are basic and dated but generally comfortable; several mention quiet units, though road-facing rooms can pick up traffic noise. Wi-Fi is often slow or unreliable, and bathroom plumbing and hot water/pressure are recurring pain points. Cleanliness is usually good with regular servicing, though a minority report lapses; overall, expect a practical, budget-minded stay that trades modern polish for price and straightforward comfort.

Late check in – was quick and easy. A note on the reception front door was clear; the bar staff was very nice and hospitable. The bar/restaurant next door was perfect with great food for us 8 adults after a long drive. Thank you for the complimentary bottle of water. The room, carpet, curtain and sheets were clean though the property has obviously aged. The bed and pillows were quite comfy. There was no sign to hang outside the door “do not disturb”. The complimentary biscuits were replenished and our towels were replaced even when we were only there less than 20hrs from checking in. Parking was uncovered, not gated – that’s ok. Our van was parked right outside or door. Key box for the early check out was easy and visible. Cons: hot water/shower: off and on limited wifi: poor

The hotel is a nice place to stay. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are tidy and clean. The hotel, we were told, was used for accommodation during the Commonwealth games. The bar/restaurant is next door and has great food. The only downfall is some of the amenities didn’t work or stopped working during our stay and some things are outdated.The staff fix the situation without hesitation and we were well looked after. We’ve had 2 separate visits there and will continue to do so.

I spent 4 nights here and would happily stay again. Daily servicing of the unit revealed a number of complimentary things that other places either charge for or only provide once. Nice surprises such as free access to a laundry, kitchen and complimentary a couple of drinks in the restaurant where you get a great meal and service at very reasonable prices and big servings. A nice, firm bed gave me great night's sleep. As for eco friendly, I didn't need fresh towels every day but really a minor issue. Good location to get around the city with public transport readily available. Thanks Redwood!

Room was filthy and had rotting around the entrance of the shower. Light bulbs were blown and not replaced. Even found a used flannel in the shower when I went to use it! Window latch had broken off completely from rotting wood above the sink, shower curtain was disgusting and needed a good soak or to just be chucked and replaced. However cheap place to rest your head. Bed was clean at least.

We had a great stay at Redwood Hotel. The room was clean, well-equipped, and included thoughtful touches like an electric blanket and an onsite kitchen, which made our stay even more convenient. Housekeeping was done daily, with fresh towels provided and even an extra blanket for added comfort. Free onsite parking was a big plus too. The only downside was the slow Wi-Fi, which could be improved. Aside from that, everything else was perfect. We'd happily stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and well-serviced place to stay.

On arrival, the friendliness and efficiency of the reception staff is impeccable. Unfortunately our unit is in need of some TLC but it is exceptionally clean and serviceable. The wall heater is very intrusive as it is very loud. The restaurant is tremendous. When we have to come to Christchurch we always stay at the Redwood and eat at the adjoining restaurant. We’re very happy with this arrangement.

The staff was friendly enough, but the wifi was terrible. The certificate had expired so the connection was not secure despite needing an individual user name and password to log-in. Because the connection was not secure, some websites were not able to connect, and I was unable to send 3 text messages because my phone was "waiting for a connection" (waited for 1/2 hr before giving up) even though my phone settings indicated I WAS connected to the wifi and I had received an incoming text message just a little while earlier.
