Jan P. Couples - 01/03/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We enjoyed our stay. We received an excellent welcome and a lovely treat for the “birthday boy”. Our room was very good with lovely views over the square and surrounds. The hotel, being located where it is, is really handy to all the local attractions. The tram line is just five minutes walk away, markets are close, as are parks, museums, and galleries.

Good location

N C. Couples - 26/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed at Novatel CHCH for 3 nights. It has a good central location, and the service was generally good while we were there. It was difficult around parking though, with all outside parks being booked, and we also had 2 issues with the aircon in our room. First it stopped working (along with the fridge), then while it was fixed it didnt run cold. Unfortunately we didnt find that out until the evening when we returned and went to bed. Staff were friendly and the rates were reasonable. They removed our valet charges to compensate for the aircon situation which has resulted in our satisfied rating.
