Top Sefton Hotel Reviews

ibis Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"was close to everything"

Drifter Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome spot, awesome place, awesome people"

Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG

8/10 Good

"Property is clean, new and well maintained. Breakfast is good but because we don’t eat beef and pork we would consider your hotel having chicken sausages etc as we are limited to the options at breakfast. Also check in was very slow, frustrating especially when you are tired. Needs improvement. House keeping was poor too. We ordered some drinks and waited but never came."

Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff. Excellent location. Clean. Comfortable bed. Thank you May."

Novotel Christchurch Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a very convenient location to the terminal. Often international flights get in late like mine and I emailed the hotel in advance to let them know I was a late checkin and my room was ready and the team on hand were so friendly and helpful. The room felt fresh, the sheets were so soft. I honestly had the best sleep after my flight and didnt rush leaving because of late checkout."
