4 female friends, we stayed for 2 nights on arrival in NZ at the start of an independent tour of both islands, leaving 2 days before the earthquake struck. Ideally placed for all the amenities and across from a hop on hop off tram stop - but of course the places to visit will now have changed. Reception staff were... More

Excellent central-city location with free-parking for guests. Our room was spacious and quiet. We found the room to be well-maintained and clean. The concierge desk is very helpful and the front desk friendly. Complimentary daily newspaper. The hotel is within walking distance to excellent restaurants, attractions and across from Victoria Square. Lunch at Pegasus Bay Winery is a must. A... More

We booked a Wotif Mystery room as we couldn't get 3 consecutive nights in the hotel of our choice. It was a very busy weekend in Chch. The $NZD85 for the room which included, 2 complimentry drinks, 12.00 checkout, King Single twin beds is a great deal for that price. On check in, a very pleasant young man informed us... More

Our room was comfortable - large enough to spread out in, good beds, strong showers and nice looking. They had free parking and a nice free gym that was a 5 minute walk to go to. It is very close to the square. Staff was very accommodating. My only complaint was that the carpets throughout the hotel were worn and... More

The hotel is right in the centre. Staff is friendly. Free valet parking. Good gym nearby. Overall the hotel is pretty old. The rooms are very small with terrible beds. As they say - a hotel is only as good as the beds! Would I stay here again? Probably not! More

Stayed for two nights on their special two night deal and would highly recommend. Location so close to Cathedral Square and with free parking for guests. Our room overlooked Victoria Park. Tried the roast which we enjoyed. Only downside of the meal was that the dessert was a bit on the small side for a hungry male. Serving staff were... More

Plenty of space good size rooms with all the amenities, mini bar, toiletries, Tea & coffee making etc, We were quite impressed with the restaurant & food. I can understand some of the other reviewers frustrations with tour groups, but hey if you go with the flow it's quite o.k. The... More

Stayed at the Copthorne twice late November and early December. Both stays found the staff super cooperative. On site restaurants serve the purpose and have a great variety of foods , only complaint is that the bacon is only passed over the heat and served almost raw. Rooms are a good size and clean , first room we had (November)... More

Copthorne central is well placed to enjoy Christchurch, being near the Arts Centre and Cathedral Square. Its rooms are comfortable, and it is a good venue for recovering from jetlag after the long flight into NZ. However the Hotel is focused on its numerous coach parties to the detriment of its guests who are travelling independently, to the extent that... More
