I really enjoyed the three days i spent at the Grand chancellor in early January 2012. It has several things to recommend it. It is about 5 km from the international airport with a free shuttle taking you there. The ambience is really great, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. I was particularly impressed with the service,... More

My husband and I booked this last minute and we were happy enough as the price was good. The hotel is handy to the airport with free parking. Room was good size with a small desk, clean, bed comfortable, bathroom adequate. No bell boy to help with the luggage which we hauled up stairs didn't see any sign of a... More

I booked the GCH as a last minute booking. I hadn't researched the hotel and was happy with the cost of the booking. Upon looking at reviews the day prior to arriving at the hotel I was horrified at what I read. Awful, horrendous and that was the positive reviews! You can imagine the thoughts running through my mind. As... More

The great thing was that the staff members were very friendly and the after- hour kitchen staff and service were great. The shuttle service were every half an hour which was fantastic. The room was huge ( i am sure they will upgrade that horrible old tv's one day) BUT i was a bit dissapointed to find the amount of... More

We stayed here on the last night of our New Zealand trip at the beginning of December. I usually book hotels direct but had inadvertently gone through a booking site. This seemed to be what caused the confusion at check-in but after a short delay, and with great politeness, the lady sorted things out and gave us free parking to... More

My husband and I stayed there on a stop over recently and we found it to be very average,the rooms are dated and the fittings old, the bed was very uncomfortable, there was a musty smell in the corridor and when you flushed the toilet the pipes made a horrible noise and this was in an up graded room so...

stayed there at the last day of august with my 7 year old son, staff were friendly upon my late night arrival and helpfull so no problems there. Expensive drinks and snacks in room but to be expected in a hotel. But was a bit bothered by ants coming out of the razor powerplug in the bathroom. Being late at... More

There are a few hotels in the area, perfect for a transit/short stay, but this is not one of them. The shuttle costs money, many of the other offer a free service. The rooms are dated and the fittings old. The bar and restaurant is the only plus at this hotel. It's cheap and very basic. Look elsewhere for another... More

The room was clean, reasonably decorated and fit out. I was upgraded so not sure what room I had but rate was NZ$180/night. Musty smell in corridors, but not in room (but had a bit of rain while I was there). Internet WiFi was cheeper than some other hotels, but based on download, so if you are doing anything other... More
