I stayed at this property my last night on the South Island in November, 2011 before catching an early morning flight out of CHC to head back to the States. I couldn't have been more pleased with this decision. I arrived in the late evening at the domestic terminal and it was easy to find a phone there to contact... More

As there is so little hotel accommodation available in Christchurch surrently I was a little worried what to expect - I needn't have been. Prices were reasonable - The "Business Level" room booked was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The staff were helpful and friendly we were quickly moved to another toom after a failed air con issue. Although some... More

I'm glad for our last night in NZ, after sleeping in a camper van for a week, we paid the extra money to stay here. It was a beautiful hotel and we had a great stay. While we were checking in, we learned that the cat one of the front desk ladies was petting was actually a member of the... More

We have stayed here on a few occasions now and have had standard and business level rooms/suite. Each time we have found our beds very comfortable, the room or suite clean and well maintained considering the earthquakes Christchurch has experienced in recent times. We stayed two nights recently in the Sunset Suite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room service was... More

This is certainly more than just an airport hotel. Stayed here for two seperate nights, at the start of a tour around the south island and on the return before catching a flight. Check in was polite and friendly on both occasions with the receptionist actually taking us to our rooms. We had a superior room, it was very roomy... More

It's hard to criticise any place in Christchurch after all the city has been through but arriving at the main entrance, the hotel looked tired with it's grey net curtains at the front windows. The staff seemed tired too, not terribly enthusiastic and sometimes curt bordering on rude. The room was a good size for four and had a kitchenette... More

Thank you for your feedback. The hotel is undergoing a number of refurbishment projects at present, the current focus is on providing a safer and more welcoming driveway and entrance and a 20 room extension. We will certainly include your comments about the tired entrance and seating availability when considering further refurbishment options. I apologise that the heating issue you... More

A major earthquake occurred just as we arrived at this hotel just before Christmas 2011. We stood outside and watched the buildings stand firm, just as they have done through all the quakes. We went in to a friendly welcome tho' many of the staff were engaged in a thorough check of the whole property. Our room, in the 'business'... More

Thank you for your comments, we are pleased that you have enjoyed your experience at the hotel. The Commodore has been most fortunate to have withstood all of Christchurch's earthquake events so far without any structural or major cosmetic damage. We are very proud of our hotel, and especially the friendly and engaging staff that work here. Thank you once... More
