Rooms were ok, there was no hot water for a shower the first night and Luke warm water the next. The staff however were very friendly and approachable. Plus you are close to mall.

Handy location. Room was clean and tidy. Shower small, few toiletries, no face cloths, no opportunities for recycling. Only saw one staff member, (manager I think). He was friendly. A welcome bonus was the smart TV, but you had to lie on the bed to view, so the sofa (comfortable) was of little use.

Convenient Location
Great location with a bus stop right outside. Walking distance to Riccarton Mall and Hagley Park. Well equipped kitchenette although an instruction manual for the microwave would have been helpful.
