The young staff at the bistro buffet restaurant were fantastic, top quality, top service, and definitely great help for me. The room was excellent and the hotel staff were at the top of their game,will definitely stay at the garden hotel again
Nice location, so close to all things related to Christchurch. Hotel was clean and well equipped. The glass table had trapped dirt which was off-putting. Really liked the walkout to the garden.
Have stayed on previous occasions, sorry to see small cafe & bar closed.
Kitchen lacking kitchen crockery etc, but otherwise clean.
Would like to see another couch in the room.
