At the first look the hotel seems nice and different but only the latter seem to confirm once you check in. The reception people are not particularly friendly. My overall impression is the they invested all in being different but they haven't considered the utility and comfort of the difference. There's a parking lot just next to the hotel for... more

Stayed in this hotel for one night, the room was cheap but very very small. It was not big enough for two people. It is impossible to get a decent nights sleep as there is so much noise from people outside their rooms. Not recomended. more

Location fantastic, right in the heart of Christchurch. Whow, what value for money. Small rooms, bigger available, quiet with all the mod stuff. Free internet...great cafe in the lobby. Very funky joint! more

First impression was Shock to see such a small room but it had everything and more. They offer $10 meals which was very good and found staff to be very friendly. It offered a kitchen facility and a big dining area. Very good value for money. more

Small efficient rooms, bigger ones available if required. Friendly and clean. more

The room is small and parking is in the nearby car park that did not have a lift near the entrance. We didn't mind the size of the... more

Hotel So is unlike anywhere else we've stayed before...modern, funky, colourful, in-your-face... For us it was just perfect - we were exhausted from travelling (and camping), the weather was miserable and we just wanted somewhere warm, dry and cosy to curl up for the day in comfort, chill out, and use the internet. The soundproofing seemed to be very good... more

We only stayed at Hotel So for one night, but we were very happy with the quality of the hotel for the price we paid. The location is good - only a few minutes walk to Cathedral Square. We paid for the cheapest room available, which was small and didn't have a window...but that really didn't matter. Our room was... more
