This is a top class hotel, I have stayed there many times and had meals at the restaurant on many occasions. The rooms are tidy, nice and clean and the staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Jimmys bar is great for a chat and a drink and the food is amazing! I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel... More

The heater is so noisy there is no way you can have it on at night. You feet almost freeze to the bathroom tiles. The door has... More

The room was booked through the tour operators. The hotel is located on the edge of the Hagley Gardens and walking distance to the botanical gardens and the museum. We enjoyed the spa, which was in a small-enclosed area by the reception area. The room was basic, clean and with the usual facilities. The bathroom was large with a shower... More

We arrived very tired and hungry after the long flight but the warm receptionists and staff made us feel very welcome and at home. Room was on the ground floor with parking right outside made it very easy for us to get the luggage in. The room itself was nice and clean with every facility you could ask for (kitchen... More

Congratulations on your marriage.

Good location close to the casino and sadly what is left of the city center. The hotel is very nice with all amenities you would need. We stayed in one of the apartments and found it to be a little small to be shared with another couple. The single bathroom was very cramped making it very uncomfortable. Dinner was ok... More

We appreciate your feedback and would like to point out that our 2 bedroom units do vary in size. When guests are staying one night only the room provided may be smaller than if you were to be staying for a longer period of time. We do hope that if you return to Christchurch that you will choose to stay... More

My wife and I were not staying at Pavillions but found Jimmys Bar and Cafe to be a little gem. Very friendly staff made us welcome and when we returned another night for dinner we were very impressed by the quality of food,. Should be called Jimmys Bar and Restaurant as this is no cafe quality food.
