Hotels near Timeball Station

Near airport and countdown grocery store.

The hotel has a good location but other than that we were extremely unhappy. the rooms are very small, the toilet and shower is built into the small room. It feels like a ferry hut. elevators are small and jerky. except for this we also have a very unpleasant story that started when we checked in, quite late in the night, the clerk insinuated something about my passport being worn out - on the outside. he said something like: "I have never seen that". which is an odd thing to say. Nevertheless, the rain was pouring down so we wanted to park our car asap, but the clerk informed us that the parking was full. First time I've experienced this. He gave us some instructions where we could park our car, but that parking was also full, because it was dark and extremely wet I just parked on a parking lot close by and I didn't see anything about parking fees. (I was going to move the car next morning anyway). Next morning around 9am I went for moving my car to the hotel and of course the car had been fine, my fault but I still blame the hotel for not having enough space. When I moved to the hotel park another clerk implicitly told me that they will charge 15 nzd per day at the hotel. First time I have ever heard about this. Even hostels provide free parking but not a 4 star hotel in Christchurch. Unbelievable. Also after night 1. we left the room around 10 put out the sign that said please make up our room, when we got back around 2-3 pm, the room wasn't cleaned. the next morning when we were supposed to check out, guess who wanted to clean our room at 9.30. overall the hotel seems like a low fare cost airplane, the price in the beginning seems reasonable but the end price turns out to be very overpriced compared to what you get. the portier was very nice though.

Great hotel next to the airport. Perfect to stay when you just arrived or when have a early morning flight. The suttle available 24 hours. Also close to the car & campervan station if you want to pick up your car. The staff were really helpful. There 's a supermarket & restaurant nearby. So you don't have to be worried about food rather than go to city centre.

Very recommended hotel in christchurch.

It was most plesant to stay, clean and comfort. Easy to find park and restaurant. Highly recommended.

The room is so comfy, spacious for the 3 of us. Walking distance to groceries and burger king. View minutes driving to margaret mahy park

The location was perfect! It is in the city center and since the christchurch city center is not too crowded, it was a perfect place to stay! The staff was very helpful and friendly, gave suggestion on public transport around. The room was very clean and comfy. Will recommend this hotel to other people!

The best option for those who have early flights to catch! Check in was super quick and easy, room was clean and spacious (even to re-arrange your luggages), and it is literally in front (less than 50m) of the airport door!
