I stayed in a single room for a week during a conference - clean and comfortable, great range of brochures, and the staff were very friendly and helpful in booking tours etc. Great rates, all the amenities you need (kitchen, TV room, laundry, etc), and great security - apparently in a slightly dodgy area of town, but I had no... more

I stayed at Charlie B's for 2 nights and thought it was a good place to stay, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room I stayed in was a 4 bed room but there was only 2 of us staying in it, bed linen and towels were provided, the beds were very comfortable much better than a lot... more

After a horrendous stay in a Hostel in Melbourne we booked into Charlie B's and found it to be clean and comfortable. The double room we shared was clean and the beds were ready made with lovely linen. The hostel had easy to use internet, laundry facilities and a great selection of information about what to do in Christchurch. Overall... more

Stayed in this hostel twice in December and found it to be a great base from which to explore Christchurch. Its within easy walking distance to the cathedral square from where buses depart to both the airport and the train station. The hostel itself is very clean with a mid sized kitchen and two seperate tv rooms. The staff are... more

This hostel is one of the best in New Zealand and Australia! I have stayed is some nice places but this place ticked all my boxes and then some. Its central, reasonably priced, staffed 24 hours, CLEAN (like no other hostel I have seen before) and the staff could not do enough for me. They had just finished renovating the... more

We stayed in a double room for a couple of nights. Really clean hostel from the bathrooms to the shared communal areas (well, maybe not the kitchen all the time, but its a big hostel so what do you expect!) with informative front desk staff. Nothing more to say, than if you want some where cheap (that does not charge... more

One of the best Backpacker places we stayed in. We were only in Christchurch for 3 days so we wanted to stay in the city centre, near Cathedral square. Charlie B's is ideal as its only 5 minutes walk from there and has plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Rooms were clean and spacious, consisted of a bedroom, bathroom and... more

We stayed here during Nov 06 and found the hostel a joy. We didnt see or stay in the dorms so I can only comment on the cleanliness and comfort of the double rooms. We found the hostel was pretty much spotless and the staff really helpful. I think if you go with Qualmark rating whilst your in NZ then... more

Situated off Latimer square, this backpackers is a 15 minute stroll to the pubs and cafes an Oxford Terrace. That's the only positive about this place. Staff are kinda weird, the foyer is dirty and smells of cabbage soup, or is that the staff?. The kitchen is basic and, as so often is the case in backpackers hostels that have... more
