Carnmore Hotel Christchurch

It delivers on every level for a mid-range hotel. The rooms are clean and functional. The bed, the pillows and the linen are all fresh and new. The a-c is great. Even the shower has plenty of room and with a little more pressure would be amazing. The location is on the fringe of central and very walkable to may good restaurants, bars and tourist sites. As someone who essentially lives in hotels and has done for 12 years, this place meets all your basic needs except for 1 large glaring issue that will stop me staying in the future.

The environment meets my exception, which looks the same, just like the photos. Clean and tidy. Water in the shower room was strong and stable. This hotel provides the front desk service until 24:00, which is quite convenient for tourists who want to explore more about the city. Furthermore, the staff at the front desk and the restaurant are all quite nice and helpful. Especially thanks to James, the staff at the restaurant is super nice. I had my own food, which was a leftover from dinner last night. He helped put them out in one plate and microwaved it without any hesitation. That prevented a waste and also provided us with a wonderful breakfast. Very enjoy the stay and must recommend friends to stay.

On arrival ready for us, didn’t need to show my booking just gave my name.. parking - always plenty outside or along the street. I like that I don’t have to pay for parking, although there are a limited amount available, I am fine with parking directly outside the Hotel. Daughter went down stairs to get some ice for a drink, they gave us an ice bucket full of ice to take to the room. Very accommodating, super friendly and this is the second time I have stayed here in a matter of months. Wall to a first table was only five mins walk to the Crowne Plaza. Easy walk to town and other bars!! love it at the Carnmore.

The room was comfortable and cosy with adjustable temperature settings. When I arrived at the hotel I had become ill enroute. The staff were caring, kind and considerate. They made sure I didn't feel like a burden even though I had to order room service repeatedly. They helped get medicine and a couple of the staff I'd made friends with even checked on me. The food here is fantastic! Do not go past the creme brulee or the lamb roast! Great selection for breakfast and the first night I stayed I had to leave before breakfast started, the hotel was kind enough to pack me a scrummy breakfast picnic for on the train!! Everyone was quite jealous. And the showers here are to die for, the rain mode helped. Thanks team for a fabulous rest and recuperation.

The location is great, very close to everything, while being more affordable. The bus from the airport stops just in front of the hotel. The room was ok, with most of amenities you might need. The restaurant and bar downstairs are very convenient (the happy hour is a plus). All in all, comfortable stay.
