Overall a really nice hotel to stay at however when it comes time to close the curtains for sleep, the street lights reach inside our room so not very dark at all which was hard to get to sleep. Other than that everything else was excellent, thanks.

Massive room which felt like a whole house. It was really great to be able to walk around the city from this central location. As it is heritage there is no air con so we had to rely on a fan when it was warm. Could be a problem if it gets really hot, but maybe that won’t happen in this old stone building. Very impressive staircase and old safes to add to the ambiance. I did not like paying extra for parking, but there was not that much choice in the city.

Dear Martin, Thank you for taking the time to place feedback on Wotif subsequent to your recent stay. We are delighted you found suites spacious, and location central. The Old Government Building that houses Heritage Christchurch is indeed a Category 1 building and is on Historic Places Trust list, therefore limiting us in what we can install in the rooms and that unfortunately included air-conditioning. Our friendly Reception team would always be very happy to provide extra fans in addition to the ceiling fan! Once again I would like to thank you for your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back shall you visit our beautiful city in the future. Kind Regards, Astrid Mc Gowan
