Holiday inn Avon, being the first time in christchurch the hotel was a little difficult to find, so make sure you get a map from the airport. The hotel reception staff were friendly and very helpful. We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in totel. The room is comfortable, if you are looking for the bells and whistles then... more

Don't write many of these but had to mention our stay at Holiday Inn On Avon for the weekend and that we were both really delighted! The setting is fantastic (helped that the sun was shining!) right by the river with garden courtyards, fountains & even ducks. The room was spacious & perfect for our needs. Felt like we were... more

Nice comfortable room. Great room service. Reception always willing to help. Near the beautiful Avon..go for a walk and see the Jonquils, ducks and the cute homes nearby. Took me about 10 minutes to walk into the heart of the city..great walk..everyone friendly. We are a family with two teens..my son had a rather long shower, he didn't realise that... more

We arrived at 10am to the hotel after an all night international flight. We were exhausted and just wanted to get to bed to have some sleep. Checking in at that early time was no problem and the fact that the hotel is off the busy main roads of Christchurch meant there was no road noise and we were able... more

This was my second time to stay at the Holiday Inn on Avon with my family. We went back to stay again (after 2.5 years) because of the excellent family deal whereby children stayed and ate for free - which meant we paid just $105 per night for a family of 4 in a room with a bed for everyone... more

I have just completed a 3 night stay at this hotel and whilst I was pleasantly surprised by the price i paid, (Advance Purchase prepaid rates) one specific event left me knowing that I would NOT be returning. I booked a standard king room on an advance purchase rate and at check-in I asked for an upgrade (why not) and... more

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night prior to leaving New Zealand. This is a relatively characterless business hotel in Christchurch, about 10-15 minutes walk from the central business district. It was (surprisingly) a hot day when we arrived at the hotel, and were given a top floor, north facing room. The room was clean and comfortable but... more

This was our last stop on a fantastic 18 day journey to the wonderland that NZ is. We were here for 3 days. Arrived from Greymouth on the tranzalpine train and after picking up the car at the station, we drove to the hotel. It was difficult to find but finally managed. I loved the place with its quite scenic... more

Loved this place. The room was plain, and not airconditioned. They suggest you open the window, a novel idea for my spoiled American mind. The window option worked great. There was a small pool, very warm, and simple sauna and small gym. It was relaxing and quaint. The staff were calm and helpful, and were role models for unwinding. Yet,... more
