The owner was excellent. Super keen to make sure our stay was really good and we had everything we needed at all times. He was always happy, friendly and chatty, greeting me by my name every time he saw me. The room was spotlessly clean, kitchen had everything you could need and the towels were changed each day.

The room was modern, quiet, very clean and well equipped. Even better, the owner/manager, Harry and his young son were always present and eager to please! The location was great! It was possible to walk to restaurants in a great part of town. We’re so glad we picked Century Park for our quick 2 night stay. We would love to return!!

Rooms were spotless and modern. The reception area needed a good brush out and clean from cobwebs in the windows and on the floor, which had me worried at check-in, but this wasnt reflected in the room we stayed in which was very tidy. Great location a short 5 min.walk from town and restaurants

Great fully equipped kitchen although I only boiled eggs and made coffee. Shame there wasn't more black coffee available. Excellent bed. Shame the sofa bed was an uncomfortable sofa, I kept slipping forwards. Dining chairs were comfortable. Great to have Netflix and mirroring. Does the TV allow bluetooth earbud connection, so as not to disturb others?

Unfortunately, we were only here for about 5 hours as we decided to check out early and return to Christchurch due to a red weather warning. However, the place seemed well equipped and spotless with plenty of parking available. There was demolition taking place next door, though I cannot comment on morning noise I can imagine the nearby main road and construction would be quite noisy. We did try to ask reception staff on their opinion regarding the red weather warning (we’re from the UK so didn’t know how serious it was). The young chap on reception seemed oblivious to the government warning and said he wouldn’t know where to check to get advice - something that baffles me considering they are in hospitality and it was all over the national news. We made the right decision as by the next morning all the roads back to Christchurch were closed and many areas had lost power. The Christchurch hotel we stayed at issued a warning to all guests to stay inside during the warning, they ensured we had this information by posting a print out under our door. Very much in contrast to the Nelson hotel. The hotel seems like it could be a good, clean option for a night or two if you need to stay in Nelson.
