We had an en-suite double, which we found to be dingy. Upon arrival, there were hairs (not ours) on our pillowcases, as well as dispersed around the room (such as on the mantlepiece). The bed-cover was dirty and stained. Both our room and the hotel itself looked tired and in need of renovation. Our biggest issue, however, is with the... More

I understand that there are ensuite rooms here that look better than what we had. As we were not staying long we only booked a private double room with shared bathroom. It would be unfair to say that the place was terrible it just wasn't my "thing". It most definitely is a hostel not a hotel, with the usual cooking... More

We only stayed at Thomas' Hotel for one swift night - we arrived in Christchurch at about midnight and were picking up our campervan the next day. The staff were kind enough to arrange us an airport pickup at no additional cost with supershuttle (who are the cheapest airport shuttle in town). We got an envelope with our key in... More

Pros: Good location Very affordable Television in the double room Clean, quiet kitchen Cons: The lack of a fan or air conditioning was a problem on hot days Limited number of bathrooms

We booked a double en-suite. This was clean and comfortable although a bit cramped with a non-functioning TV. The hostel has a large kitchen and lounge plus the usual internet and laundry facilities. Reception staff were friendly and helpful (note that they finish at 9.00 pm and you will need to make special arrangements if you intend to check-in after... More

My partner and I flew into to christchurch late at night, so a shuttle and key to our room was arranged for us, which was great. The budget double room itself was fine, very cold though when we arrived, but in fairness it was the middle of the night. Plenty of blankets to keep us warm. We stayed for two... More

stopoped in for one night on way down to Queenstown....great facilities, good location and overall although a quick visit had a nice feel and would defentely comeback thanks guys!

Everything about Thomas's was what I was looking for! From the friendly receptionists to the super spacious kitchen, the entire hotel exceeded my expectations. And most importantly it fit into our tight budget :) The receptionists were all very knowledgeable about activities and restaurants in the area and were able to help us find things that we enjoyed doing. They... More

Think I said it all in my title - this place is awesome value for anyone looking for a cheap room - probably of a "flashpacker" standard more than hotel. I've stayed at the place several times and the staff have always been great, very welcoming and helpful. I think one major advantage of Thomas's is the location - only... More
