A good hotel makes arrival, sleep and departure simple. Before booking, check what the room rate includes, such as breakfast, parking and Wi-Fi, and ask about room types, floor and noise if you are a light sleeper, since a city-centre location can be lively. IHG's loyalty scheme gives members perks and a best price guarantee on its official site, so compare booking direct with third-party sites. Ask about check-in and check-out times, luggage storage and airport transfers, and read recent guest reviews for cleanliness and service. Regulars book early for event weekends and ask for a higher floor or a quiet room.
Colombo Street runs through central Christchurch, so this hotel suits business travellers and visitors wanting a base close to restaurants, shops and the city's attractions.
