This was my first trip to Christchurch and I stayed 7 nights in early February 2012. The city point of interest directions given by host/hostess was very helpful, especially with this being my first time in Christchurch. Russell and Henry were very helpful and friendly making my stay feel as if I were visiting friends even though I was there... More

Amidst the ongoing earthquakes Christchrch and surrounding areas have been experiencing, we found this place to be most accommodating. We stayed in a studio apartment and found it to be pleasant and cozy. The service from the managers was very helpful and suggestions for food and day trips were most appreciated. Even with certain areas of the city " red-zoned",... More

I stayed at Colombo in the City on three occasions over a period of six weeks between tours. Everything about this motel is great and I didn't have a single complaint throughout my stay. The motel is modern and clean with ample parking. The owners are very helpful and very nice people. I will always return to this motel and... More

Poor Christchurch has many demolished (or about to be) buildings these days, but Colombo in the City is in perfect shape and a joy to stay in. Rusell, at the front desk, is very helpful in knowing what is now open and what is great to see. I'd recommend the Botanical Gardens and the Canterbury Museum as two "must dos". More

We arrived at Colombo in the City at 1am on Christmas Day 2011. Although the motel was closed we had very clear instructions of where to find our key and we got it with no trouble. There is plenty of parking and although there are a few stairs to the upper level rooms we had no problems getting to ours.... More

After taking the city bus from the Christchurch Airport to just south of the Central Business District, we decided to walk the 20 minutes or so to the motel. The CBD is cordoned off as buildings damaged by the Feb 2011 earthquake are being demolished. Some buildings are piles of rubble; others show some damage but are unsafe. It was... More

Super service! and recommend the room with the jacuzi ;-) Rooms clean and very well stacked with all details you can whish for even fresh milk for your thea and coffee. The whole complex is well maintained and justed painted (Nov 2011). We loved the personal service we expirienced from this family run business! More

I stayed 2 nights with my friend in early November 2011. The room was spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable. The host/hostess there were very helpful and friendly. This was my first trip in Christchurch and the direction given by them on where to go was very helpful. We got feeling home there although we're sad of looking the... More

Stayed here for 1 night after landing in NZ for a tour of the south island, and could happily have stayed longer. Pleasant rooms, friendly staff and good proximity to the centre of Christchurch (although looking at the after effects of the earthquake does sadden me). More
