Well done, City Centre Motel!!! From the very first contact by email, I had nothing but friendly and helpful communication ... nothing was too much trouble ... I felt as though I was talking with friends. The experience only deepened when I arrived to check in several weeks later and was greeted with the warmest of welcomes and shown to... More

I spent one night here in February of 2012. After travelling for 24 hours, it was a lovely and relaxing stopping point before starting a 13 day bike trip. The owner was wonderful. She went out of her way to help me get where I was going.

We stayed at City Centre Motel in Christchurch for 2-nights in March during a tour of New Zealand. We had booked a studio apartment on the internet a number of months in advance of our visit.

Perfect place to stay. With almost all the big hotels still not available we had decided on City Centre to stay and have no regrets. In fact really happy we found them. The rooms were roomy, clean. Location was good walking distance to what we wanted to do. Tina and the hotel cat were a bonus.

Very clean and modern room. Walking distance into the town. Very comfortable stay.

This is a great small motel that offers more than just a place to stay - great service! My room was on the ground floor and looked at the car park, but I didn't have any noise problems. The room itself was a studio and was nicely turned out with a small kitchenette, sofa, and table to eat at. The... More
