Heartland Hotel Queenstown

"Great hotel/motel. Our chalet room was in a building where the room was accessed from the outside. No elevator so you have to carry your luggage upstairs and we were on the 4th floor. The view was amazing! We overlooked the lake, trees and the city. Breakfast was good. The hotel is located at the top of a hill to the main restaurants below. Walking back is a work out! "

ibis Christchurch

3.5 star property

"Excellent location. Close to Bus interchange, so you have short walk to hotel from the bus 29 you can catch from airport, Cathedral square, central city shopping, river bank cafes and market are all very short walk from the hotel. Room is on the small size but beds are comfortable and room is clean. Think that they just need maybe 2 chairs for double room, not one. Christchurch is beautiful, walkable city and we didn't spend much time in the room anyway, so for short stays is perfect. "

"The hotel itself is great. Room cleanliness misses on key points. Shower fan vent extremely dirty, caked with dust. Hairdryer filter/screen extremely caked with dust; hairdryer running much too hot with little air coming out. Room heater vents caked with dust. As you walk down the hallway you can see these heaters in each room and they are all dirty/dusty. All rooms are on the second floor, but there is no elevator. The hotel claims to offer parking, but it is shared with a busy store, so you...
