This is the worst motel I ever stayed in Christchurch. I've been here 6 times. I was wondering why it had a very high score, which was why we chose this motel than the 4 stars hotel in the area. This is more like a 2 stars than 3 stars. The room had a musty smell. The unit key was difficult to use. They did not clean the room on 2nd day so we did not get any service. The kitchen lacked some items. The towels were small and thin and was not replaced. There were missing light bulbs. The place needed some renovation. Also, I noticed that this was the only motel with vacancy in the area. There was no person at the office most of the time. The worst thing was that the manager told me to open the blinds during the day and not turn on the lights to keep their costs low. Mind boggling!

Our upgrade was fabulous. Very well equipped comfortable and a whole apartment that was very clean and comfortable. The manager and his wife the receptionist were outstanding in B their welcome and willingness to help with every request. The pick up and drop off service was also greatly appreciated. This is a motel that we would recommend to anyone looking for a great location for a longer stay. Walking distance to everything and public transport at the door. A fantastic place to stay in Christchurch. We loved our time at Admiral Motel. Highly recommend

Highly recommend!

We arrived late at night on a late flight, but the room was already warm with the heater turned on, which was such a thoughtful touch. It made us feel very welcomed and allowed us to relax right away. The room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. I had a great stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

Affordable and large accomodation. Have stayed here a few times now and been impressed everytime, until this visit… We weren’t notified of the gigantic construction project right behind the apartment we were put in. Neighbours had a dog which while friendly and kept under control our child is scared of them. The backyard was locked off and grass and gardens way overgrown. The shower was covered in black mould and the floor was sunken in so the water pooled… sad to see it has gone downhill

This is an old 1960s property which has been amateurishly renovated. Taps and kitchen cupboards are that old! Bedroom is a tight squeeze with 4 bedspaces. It is on main roads with traffic noise and sirens. There are no powerpoints in the bathroom. The microwave was in a dangerous location on top of the fridge. However, the proprietors were helpful and very nice.

I'll definitely recommend the Admiral as I found it very convenient and the owner is very very helpful. The whole stay was seamless. We checked in at midnight, but the owners were so thoughtful that they left some food and biscuits for us at late night.

The motel was spacious and clean. We had a couple of issues during the first night of our stay, but the owners saw to them as soon as possible. Good location close to the city centre which made all local amenities accessible, especially by car. The owners were very welcoming and are doing their best to inject some life into what is an older style motel.

施設が古いことは問題ありませんが、シャワールームの排水溝はヘドロと髪の毛で悪臭を放ち、お湯が流れなかった。マグカップは2つだけ置いてあり、1つはコーヒーを飲んだまま洗われていない状態でした。少量でもいいので、冷蔵庫にミルクは置いてほしい。
