This is a standard Ibis quality hotel.

It was a little hard to get to the hotel as most of the roads were closed when we arrived. Other wise it is a good location, this hotel is just behind the Cathedral Square where basically where everything starts here in the square.

The room was clean, the king size bed was comfortable too.

There was no bath tub in the bathroom, only a walk in shower. It was clean though, the amenities were enough for a night stay.

Check in staff was friendly too. When we had problem to find this hotel, the staff gave us direction over the phone was very helpful.

It was value for money and we will go back to this hotel again.

We stayed in Christchurch in between train trips (Tranz Coastal from Picton, Tranz Alpine to Greymouth) so we just had a quick overnight stay. The Ibis was perfect for our stay, very central with the Ibis formula of clean modern rooms without the frills. It was very close to the city centre with quite a few bars/restaurants outside the hotel so if you wanted a quiet location, this is probably not the one. However, I feel that all this is a bit academic right now as the tragic earthquake means that no-one is taking holidays in Christchurch right now. We hope that one day they will be back and open for business.

Small but clean room in city, (a fairly small hotel). Walking distance to museums and shops. Good range for breakfast. The room also had air conditioning.
