This is a standard hotel that is very clean, centrally located and reasonably priced. The desk staff are pleasant and helpful. It's within walking distance (only a few blocks) to Cathedral Square, the white-chair memorial, and the new cardboard-tube cathedral.

We stayed here on Sat 25th and Sun 26th May 2013. They are really close to the city and you could easily walk there (we did have a car though). Rooms are clean, tidy and well presented. Really well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sky tv. A Peter the mananger was extremely helpful and had good advice for what to... More

We arrived from Australia at 1am and our room was unlocked, ready for us to fall into bed. We had been upgraded at no extra charge to 2 apartments with adjoining door - which was fabulous for 3 adults. Next morning milk was provided and lots of help given so we could find our way to get our hire car.... More

We stayed in the Superior Studio in City Central for a couple of nights and we really enjoyed our time here. The room was clean and extremely spacious! There is a small pantry area that comes equipped with basic cooking tools - microwave, pot, utensils, electric flask. The toilet was spacious as well and it comes with a heater. There... More

This is a very belated review as we stayed here for one night in Jan 2011 at the start of a three week holiday in New Zealand, but the proforma will not allow that date to be entered now and I forgot to send in a review after our trip was over. The motel was an ideal start to our... More

This motel/hotel was great. It had newly furnished rooms, and was clean and tidy. There was free Wifi(for 1 hour a day). The staff were helpful and friendly, and there was free dvds rental at the reception. The only problem was that since the earthquake this hotel is on the wrong side of the city.

All we needed for a one night stay. Great welcome, well equipped (and spacious) rooms and conveniently located for (what used to be) Christchurch centre. And that is the problem, the motel is great but sadly it will be some time before Christchurch is back as a thriving tourist destination. The devastation from the earthquake is far greater than we...

The motel provides everything you need for one night in Christchurch. We used the motel having flown in from Singapore prior to our tour of the South Island. The memory we will take away from our short stay in Christchurch will always be the devastation the earth quake created in 2011. The city appears to be struggling to regain its... More

My wife and I were travelling around New Zealand and needed somewhere to stay in Christchurch on arrival and departure. The City Central Motel Apartments were spacious, incredibly clean and well appointed. The location is perfectly fine if you don't mind walking a kilometre or two there is plenty to see and do. There is good food and coffee extremely... More

We finished up our one month tour of NZ in Christchurch and our travel agent had booked us into this motel for 2 nights. Accommodation is a bit basic but clean and well maintained. We didn't like the fact that we were on the second level with floor to ceiling windows affording very little privacy with other guests constantly walking... More
