The host was very friendly and spent some time explaining where the red zones were and where we could and could not go. He went out of his way to assist us in finding a restaurant to eat, even making the booking on our behalf and managing to get the restaurant to squeeze us in with very short notice. Highly... More

We stayed here our last night in NZ. The gentlemen at check in was very helpful outlining the things to see in town and recommended restaurants for dinner. Room was large and well appointed. Very comfortable stay and would recommend

Btw, when they say free WiFi they mean the real thing FREE WIFI (has been the only place in NZ offering really a decent free wifi). The also provide you with a free parking.... More

We stayed for just one night in March 2013. To be honest there's not much to Christchurch, still less after the earthquake. But this little motel makes up for it. The room was generous with good facilities (the only accommodation in 6-weeks that had the full Sky and ESPN package plus a DVD player). Good laundry. Everything was absolutely spotless... More

We recently spent a night at the Colombo In The City.We went to Christchurch and Lyttleton to see the damage from the earthquakes first hand. What a disaster for so many people and organisations. Its far worse than the little that has been shown on TV . So many empty areas all over the CBD. We took the Red Zone... More

Stayed here for three nights in February. The earthquake damage in Christchurch is depressing, and this hotel is right in the middle of it. However, the hotel itself was fine. We only met the owners briefly when we checked out, as we had a late arrival, and let ourselves into our room. The room was fine -although personally I did... More

Stayed 1 night (our last night) as we were flying home from Christchurch. Having stayed at numerous hotels/motels during our NZ trip we were a little disappointed with our room. The room was on the 2nd floor, tucked in a corner and was the smallest place we had stayed during our trip (although this wasn't the cheapest place per night... More

We stayed 3 restful nights. The staff and management were very friendly and most helpful. The motel was quiet at night, comfortable, clean and modern within easy walking distance to restaurants, city center, the temporary inter-city bus depot and the Container Mall. Definitely will stay here again.
