What guests think

LyLo Christchurch Airport earns consistent praise for its walkable location near the terminal and shops, offering budget-friendly stays that suit late arrivals, early flights, and short stopovers without needing transport.

Many highlight friendly staff, efficient self check-in, and very large communal kitchen and lounge spaces, though parking is limited or paid and some facilities needed fixes such as lights, outlets, lockers, or TVs. Rooms and pods are compact and functional with minimal furnishings; bed comfort varies and noise from corridors, neighbors, traffic, or aircraft is a recurring issue, with some reports of weak cooling, drafts, or poor light blocking. Cleanliness ranges from spotless to disappointing, with repeated mentions of dirty or wet bathrooms, stained linens, and occasional odors. Expect a practical, no-frills airport stay focused on convenience.

Quite unfair, having to pay $15 for overnight parking out front of the hotel, on top of the room fee... the noise also carries from the corridor to the room when people are passing.

The property was clean, the beds had individual privacy curtains, the amenities were more than adequate. There is nothing more you could reasonably expect out of a hostel than what they already have, except maybe air conditioning in the bedrooms and free off-street parking. If you don’t want to pay $15/day for parking in the parking lot, there is plenty of free on-street parking nearby, but be prepared to walk up to 1km during peak busy days.

It was quiet and relaxing. The shared kitchen and lounge areas were very spacious and had a nice open feel. However, it takes about 15 minutes to get from the hostel to the airport entrance, so I ended up taking a taxi instead of walking. It’s still closer than the CBD, so I’d recommend it.

As you walk in, the place looks modern and like it would be clean. We had a private room with an ensuite, and thankfully only stayed 1 night. The room smelt awful and stale, and it just wasn’t very clean. You have to wear your shoes/socks on the carpet. The bed was very uncomfortable, and there was hair in the bathroom (even some stuck on the wall above the door frame). We stayed there for the night before our flight, but honestly it was so crap.

Very convenient for our early morning flight as we could walk to the airport. It wasn’t the quietest and in our opinion could use some deep cleaning. The self-checkin felt impersonal and the first room we went to wasn’t finished being cleaned but the lady got us another room that was fine.

My mattress was sorely in need of a replacement. The springs bottomed out so easily that I was hitting the plywood frame below when lying down and I am a light person. Made for a difficult night of sleep. That said, great common room. This is just beside the airport and there’s not much here or accessible if you don’t have a car.

The room was uncomfortably hot. Zero air conditioning in the room when temperatures were routinely over 25 degrees. Very little cleaning of the washrooms and showers throughout my stay. Bed was ultra thin. I know it’s a hostel but I could feel the plastic under my body the mattress was so thin. The common area was very impressive and the overall building was new and fresh.

入住家庭房，有好幾間電燈與充電座都是壞的，請服務人員來修理，服務人員說會再來看，之後就再也沒出現，體驗很糟糕。 We are staying in the family room, and several lights and power outlets are broken. We informed the staff, and they promised to come and fix them, but no one ever showed up. This is a very disappointing experience.

The fact that the property is rather close to the airport made it convenient, I walked using google maps as a guide. Was greeted everytime I went downstairs by the reception staff as My room was located upstairs. The check in staff member made me feel very welcome which was fantastic. Check in process was very quick and efficient.

Reservei escolhendo pra pagar na propriedade, mas às 10am debitaram o pagamento do meu cartão, sem minha autorização! Eu ainda não havia chegado no local e o check-in só começaria às 15h!! Não aceitam pagamento em dinheiro, só cartão e, mesmo assim, adicionam taxa de uso de cartão de crédito. Só util pela proximidade com aeroporto e opções de alimentação por perto. A cama era extremamente dura e os travesseiros vazios. Ao invés de descansar você sai com o corpo moído. Deixamos a chave na caixinha da portaria 9:35am, pois não havia ninguém na recepção pro checkout. Outras pessoas também ficaram lá sem saber o que fazer na recepção... Espero que não haja mais problemas!

No on-site restaurant is noted, but the communal kitchen is large and well equipped for self-catering; one review felt the neighboring cafe breakfast was poor value. Plenty of food options and a supermarket are next door.
