Top Swannanoa Hotel Reviews

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for just one night and really enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic — an easy walk to lots of restaurants, shops, and the casino, which made it really convenient for exploring without having to drive. The hotel parking lot is VERY small and there wasn’t a space available when we arrived, but that actually worked out in our favor. Street parking is free and we lucked out with a spot right in front of the hotel. Our room was comfortable and well appointed, with a fridge, coffee maker, and even welcome brownies — always a nice touch! We also ate at the hotel restaurant, Hoi Polloi, and it was delicious. They had a great variety of food and some fantastic specials depending on the night. We happened to be there on a Tuesday when it was buy one entrée, get one free, which was an unexpected bonus! Great location, comfortable room, good food, and a very easy one-night stay. We’d definitely stay here again."

Commodore Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it."

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

Novotel Christchurch Airport

"convenient, quiet, clean accommodation"

Sudima Christchurch Airport

"Location was great by the airport with small mall nearby."

Christchurch City Hotel

8/10 Good

"Thank you to the entire team at Christchurch City Hotel and helping to make our first trip to Christchurch a lovely stay. The room was lovely with an amazing view of the square, streets and surrounding buildings. The reception staff were wonderful and so friendly. The house keeping staff were lovely, super polite and kept our room at a high standard. We appreciated the brief chats at the front desk and considered you are all ambassadors to your hotel and indeed the Christchurch CBD. Everything you needed was a short walking distance. My husband spent a fair amount of time in the room and said he wished there was a comfortable lounge seat to relax in. The seating wasn’t comfy and the only alternative was the bed which wasn’t comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. The only grumble we had was our experience in the bar on our first night. The Asian barman was rude and really pretentious. My husband informed him we weren’t dining and he was handed a food menu with the drinks menu’s. My husband politely repeated we weren’t dining and the barman retorted “I know” and took the menu back. When we ordered drinks he brought them back and said “I hope I got that right” and my husband replied “so do I”. It was an uncomfortable exchange and I was super proud that my husband maintained his composure because I can assure you he was fuming. We left after finishing our drink. Not a great start to our stay but thankfully the rest of the staff were amazing. Thank you again guys."

West Fitzroy Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is well located in the city center. Being our first welcoming stay for our first NZ trip, we received a fabulous experience by the friendly and helpful staffs, the staying condition is pleasant, and the amenities suite our needs very well. I would say, this apartment will be our first choice when we visit Christchurch anytime in the future."

Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean spacious room. Food above average too. Front desk staff friendly but dinning staff not so much. Room for improvement there."

Bealey Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a cheap place to stay with all the necessities you need for a comfortable stay in Christchurch."
