Top Cathedral Square Hotel Reviews

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"lovely greeting easy checkin . staff engaging . hotel great location . queen room great clean and cosy but everything you need . highly recommend"

The Observatory Hotel Christchurch

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located on the grounds of the former University of Canterbury campus in Christchurch, which made for a unique experience. The historic setting gives the property plenty of character and atmosphere. The common lounge area of the hotel is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a tea or coffee. The rooms are clean and comfortable however they are quite small. Overall a nice stay"

Bealey Quarter

2/10 Terrible

"The staff were courteous. The loo was blocked, the bed was blood soiled (not noted till waking in the morning) and the walls in the bathroom rotten. The light was not sufficient for anything other than ambiance. Drinking water to be sourced from same area as human waste. Lovely shower. The fridge identified as a freezer and froze the contents before morning. Likely won’t stay again."
