Slightly dated but spotless. Beds so comfy we slept through a 4.1!Nice faciity is the washing line! Saves money & the planet! One drawback- noting to do with the motel- is that all the motels in that area are full & that puts pressure on neighbourhood restaurants.

I can highly recommend Aalton Motel. The rooms are bright, spacious and clean. We felt very comfortable and relaxed in the environment created by the owners who couldn't have been more welcoming. Hope to visit New Zealand again and would definitely choose to stay at this motel.

We had one night here in Jan. 2012...most Christchurch CBD hotels are shut because of the Earthquake damage, but this lovely motel is close to town, outside a bus stop and only a few minutes ride from the city itself. It is adjacent to the lovely Hagley Park and a very pleasant 15 minute stoll into the city. The owners... More

Super location near Hagley Park with lots of eateries and 24 hour grocery store close by. Easy walk to centre of Christchurch through the park. Well equipped, very clean, the free wifi is very useful. Fridge and microwave. Spa and swimming pool great extras. Highly recommended.

Knowing that were travelling on honeymoon, we noticed that they had added a lovely gesture to present the bath towels specially on the bed. The room was clean and spacious, with... More

Stayed in the 2 bedroom, no negatives about the place, decor is aged and so was the kitchen, but the place was spotlessly clean and well looked after. Plenty of room for 2 teenagers, 1 preschooler and mum and dad, except when all trying to fit around the table. Location is great with plenty of food outlets in walking distance... More

Only stayed for one night after flying in from Auckland. Good location - walking distance to shopping centre and restaurants etc. Could probably walk to the park from there aswell. It is on the west side of the park - away from central christchurch but that area is unfortunately still relatively inaccessable. In ricarrton however, there was little to no... More

We stayed in Standard Studio room. Although it's a bit small, but it's a comfortable room to stay as the owner knows how to make good use of the limited space for kitchen, TV, cupboard etc. The room is clean and it has complete kitchenware, includes microwave and sink. The location is great with lots of eateries outside, and the... More
