Top Victoria Lake Hotel Reviews

Sudima Christchurch City

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was so helpful and friendly. We ate at the hotel restaurant and ordered room service, and the food was delicious. I do wish it was a bit closer to the touristy sites. All in all, a great stay!"

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Room was as expected but bathroom a bit too small. Bed was very comfortable and breakfast also great. Within walking distance to shops."

West Fitzroy Apartments

10/10 Excellent

Christchurch City Hotel

Bealey Quarter

8/10 Good

"Restaurant had amazing food and friendly staff, room was clean and had everything we needed. Pool tables available is a huge bonus, (annoying how it takes $2 a game). Courtyard area is peaceful with plenty of seating dining and hammocks."

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very comfortable and the entire hotel was very clean. The building itself is very modern and looks almost brand new. We really liked the attached restaurant/bar as well. We received excellent and helpful service at both the hotel and the restaurant. For us, the location worked very well and allowed us to walk to many areas for shopping, dining and even the Botanical Gardens. The city itself is beautiful with many artistic features and murals, stunning architecture and beautiful gardens."

Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is across the street from the huge, beautiful Hagley Park and Botanic Gardens and in a nice neighborhood with many restaurants within a couple of blocks walk. It is a top tier yet affordable hotel. The breakfast was the nicest hotel breakfast I have ever had. I have a dairy restriction and this breakfast is very accommodating. The gardens are beautiful in the spring! The rooms were comfortable, clean and quiet. Parking was easy and free. We stayed here at both the beginning and end of our road trip around the south island. I would exclusively stay here any time I return to Christchurch!"

Drifter Christchurch
