The Observatory Hotel Christchurch 5 stars

Hotel in Christchurch City-Centre, Christchurch

Ideally situated in Christchurch, The Observatory Hotel Christchurch features a buffet breakfast and free WiFi throughout the property. Breakfast was a decent continental.the coffee in the breakfast room was not as good as the coffee in the conservatory. The room was beautifully designed with all that was needed. The history and beauty of the building have been loving incorporated into the hotel.

Sudima Christchurch City 5 stars

Hotel in Christchurch City-Centre, Christchurch

Situated in Christchurch, 700 metres from Christchurch Art Gallery, Sudima Christchurch City features accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a restaurant and a bar. This hotel is in a great location and is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend it! The room was equipped with a dishwasher, an iron, bathroom amenities, and dressing gowns. It was modern, well-presented, and very clean. I especially loved the Alexa clock beside the bed, which provided weather updates, allowed me to set alarms, and offered news updates. Movies were free to watch as well! The tea and coffee facilities were excellent, and the bathroom was spacious, clean, and modern. It was the first time I've stayed in a hotel that offered complimentary sanitary packs. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a selection of pillows available if needed. One of the best features for me was that there was no road noise, and the air conditioner was quiet—something that's quite rare! Having traveled to many hotels, this one is at the top of my list. The staff were exceptional, always friendly, and greeted everyone with a "hello." Altogether, it was a lovely stay!

The Rees Hotel & Luxury Apartments 5 stars

Hotel in Queenstown

The Rees Hotel & Apartments offers lakefront accommodation with private balconies and spectacular views. It features free WiFi and a free shuttle to the centre of Queenstown. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile. Nothing was a problem, we were advised of the best place to park, escorted to our room. The pillows were amazing, and the bed was comfortable. The unit was warm, and had a lovely view, and all of the amenities in the room were clean, and it had everything. Most of all for us the room was quiet. We didn't hear any noise from any other residents. We also had a lovely dinner in the restaurant which was top class with a beautiful view.
