My partner and I stayed at Rydges Christchurch approximately 6 weeks after the first earthquake in 2010. We were a little confused when we first arrived as we had driven from the airport and had no where to park the car on the street while we checked in. I ended up checking in while my husband went around the block...

Feel bad about writing this as the hotel is in the CBD. Joined the Privilege Club for discounts in food and drinks but they don;t give them for breakfasts - doesn't everyone want breakfast!? Also expensive to use Wifi or broadband - why can't hotels let you use the Wifi for free if you only want to e-mail or check...

Dear Jan,
Thank you for your feedback, the hotel has been out of operation for 7 weeks, your comments will certainly be food for thought for all of our team while we unknowingly wait direction as to when we may re-open or gain access to the hotel.
The main reason breakfast is not incuded in the 20% food and beverage...

We had gone a 12-day family vacation to New Zealand and spent two nights at Rydges Christchurch in two different rooms because they were totally sold out for the Regular City View Rooms, inspite of us having a valid booking receipt. On the first day we were alloted an executive room on the topmost Floor and the next day we...

Thank you for your feedback. Rydges Christchurch is not a 5 star hotel it is 4.5. This along with all of our amenities and services is clearly offered on ours and all 3rd party websites on which we feature including this site on which you have chosen to review. While disappointing it is somewhat surprising that it took your arrival...

Larger business type hotel well located for the centre of Christchurch. Although the overall standard was acceptable, the hotel was let down by poor standards of housekeeping in the room where there was a thick layer of dust covering many of the furniture surfaces (suggesting that only linens and bathrooms were fully serviced by Housekeeping). In addition, the hotels suffers...

Hotel cleanliness is of the utmost importance and it is disappointing that you have found issues with our standards. Housekeeping is responsible for the entire hotel room from top to bottom. Our feedback in these areas is usually very good so I feel that while unacceptable, it was nevertheless an isolated case. Wireless Internet at present is only available on...

We stayed here in July 2009. Great location, right in Christchurch CBD. Lovely hotel, will definately stay here again. And Starbucks is just around the corner! Only gripe is paying for parking which is pricey.
More
Thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate that we are at the mercy of the local council with regards to parking. The hotel is not provided with any discounting which is disappointing as we would surely pass these on to our guests.
Rydges Christchurch certainly is one of the best located of all Christchurch hotels. Right in the heart...

The location was great.
The hotel had no actual impact on us, nothing good or bad.
The service was mostly impersonal, but efficient.
Main downside was no free wifi- first time Ive actually encountered that, even had that at the one backpackers hostel I stayed at.
I would recommend it definitely for a business trip, probably need to find somewhere...

Thank you for your feedback. Wifi services are currently being reviewed. Due to contractual obligations, free services have not evolved as quickly as our guests needs and it is certainly being investigated for the not to distant future.
Rydges Christchurch has a range of accommodation options to suit all needs and the location overlooking the Avon river is great for...

The room we stayed in had a "dream bed" and although it was certainly a comfortable bed it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. the rooms were clearly dated and our bathroom was three star at best.
i was a bit disappointed actually, we were really looking forward to finishing our holiday with a fabulous luxury room but this failed...

Its great that you found the staff to be helpful and friendly. Our guest service is certainly a priority and a stand out feature of the Rydges Christchurch experience.
A significant amount of research was undertaken when Rydges designed the 'Dream Bed', the majority based on guest feedback and preference. Generally the response has been very positive, it is disappointing...

Average hotel but room with "City View" had outlook onto roof top car park and shabby office blocks. Not good.

Room descriptions have been reviewed some 12 months ago following comments such as yours. As with many CBD properties, the view will improve the higher you go. Some of the rooms on the lower floor look across the carpark and towards Cathedral Square, but all still have the 4.5 star finish that Rydges Christchurch is renowned for. For views I...
