Good location near the centre of the city. The decor is a bit tired but in post earthquake Canterbury it would be churlish to fault this. Plenty of space with a well equipped kitchen which is good as there is no restaurant attached to the motel. There was a separate bedroom for the two kids as well as the double... More

Fantastic venue. Great management. Value for money. Environment friendly. Nice common area. Decent bed, tv and clean bathroom. The room we got was a small studio bungalow, with an equipped kitchen and a clean bathroom. Free WiFi internet with 4MbPS speed!! Late check-in was very formally and well managed

The location of the Abbey Motor Lodge was good in respect to proximity to the city but a disaster in relation to sleep quality. Bealey Avenue seemed to be a main thoroughfare and there was traffic noise 24/7, I could not sleep. The rooms were clean but very tired and old fashioned, I felt like I was going back to... More

We had tried several motels and there was simply nothing available so had to return with tail between our legs and take what was available. In all fairness the room was large, clean and offered reasonable accommodation however, it was like sleeping on the median strip of the main road outside. Near a set of street lights just to add...

Staying for... More

We may have just been unlucky and got the worst room in the complex as from the outside the others looked ok but we were less than impressed, even though the room was pretty cheap. The area in the room where the bed was, was OK but the bathroom was missing paint especially around the shower, black stains in the... More

We enjoyed our stay at Abbey Motor Lodge while we were in Christchurch. We found the rooms to be clean and comfortable and we really appreciated the suite rooms since we have a young child. Our daughter was able to sleep in 'her' room while we enjoyed some quiet time in the front room. This location allowed us to explore... More

We booked in at the last minute after a long road trip back up to Christchurch. The owner was lovely and offered us free wifi, which was greatly appreciated. Room sizes were quite large, and the motel was clean, Yes, it is a little dated, however the beds were comfortable, and even though we were close to the road, we... More

The manager was very polite and helpful from the minute we booked, we were abit nervous when we read some of the reviews but on arrival were thrilled to find such a CLEAN motel- we have stayed at a well known four and a half star hotel that was more than double the price recently and were really disappointed with...
