Christchurch Central Hostels

Accommodation was for four adults. We required a queen and two single beds configuration. Great communication with reception staff before our arrival ensured this was exactly what we got. We also pre booked our parking space before arrival. The apartment was clean and fresh. Modern, neutral, minimalistic decor throughout. Aircon worked well. Very reasonable price for the location which was walking distance to the centre of town and the many cafes and restaurants nearby. Would recommend.

I am so happy with their service, the day before, I called to tell if I could leave my luggage there at 6am, they agreed to it. They helped me to stow my luggage, after my long day, I got back to the hotel at 10pm to check in, they were so nice to help. but we waited awhile for the receptionist to arrive, not sure where he went, not just us but others who arrived late to check in also waited awhile. Overall, it was really good, love how clean the rooms and toilet were. I really hope they can have the kitchen open till maybe 12am? I wanted to get water for my mother and aunt for them to take their medication but the vending machine was out of stock. The receptionist were missing and luckily after 15 mins, he came. He told me on the other side, there's a distilled water machine. The place smells bad.. I hope they can have a better option for us?

Excellent location! So close to everything in the city centre, we used the valet parking service and didnt take the car out once!, we could easily walk everywhere. We stayed 3 nights in a 1 bedroom suite, which was nice and clean, well appointed, and with a super comfy bed. They even had a wee sewing kit and a toothbrush kit, which are definitely things we've needed on our travels! Facilities in the hotel were great and staff were very friendly and attentive. Quintin from concierge was so helpful, and helped make our stay extra special by organizing wine and platters and delivering balloons to our room for our arrival :) Breakfast was also really yummy. Thank you Fable Christchurch! We really enjoyed our stay :)

My husband and I were together for the winter holiday. We very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We can’t say enough the host or hospitable the premises were nicely appointed. It was located close to a beautiful botanical gardens as well as a beautiful college campus as well as stores and restaurants. We would highly recommend anyone who would stay in the area to stay at this place. Be aware that it is not a hot breakfast.

Great sized room and was very handy to be able to do some washing and have a kitchenette. Location was good, close enough to city centre but not right in the middle! We found the shower bath to be unsafe to use as a shower.. it was very high to step over, uneven to stand on and extremely slippery. My partner slipped and slightly fell which was a close call. A non slip mat would be handy in future for sure. Other than that we were kept awake by hoons cruising loudly down the road all night, but not much the hotel can do about that so more of a side note.

The motel is in walking distance to the city but far enough away to not be right in the hub. Our room was quietly tucked into the back corner so we slept very well. We asked for more milk for our 3rd day which didn’t arrive but it was a minor slip up. The linen and room was clean and bed comfortable.

My room was not cleaned up despite me putting up a door notice for housekeeping for the day. When I returned to my room in the evening, I was told to my surprise that my booking did not include housekeeping. The website of Breakfree at Cashel mentioned housekeeping is available. I was not informed that my booking omitted this service. Furthermore, I was told to collect new towels by myself at the counter. I just don't feel the hotel is not up to the mark in this aspect. Other things I am not quite happy about is that the room space is too small for easy packing and unpacking of my luggage but I suppose I get what I paid for, which is ok. I have decided to move to other hotel for the rest of my journey in Christchurch for the above reasons .

Excellent place to stay & more like a hotel than motel. Very friendly and helpful staff, well-organised and made us feel welcome from the get-go which is always a great start to a holiday. Spacious room, all amenities provided - iron + board, hair dryer, kettle + tea, coffee, cocoa, sugar, air conditioning, satellite t.v., comfortable recliners, cutlery and so-forth. Very comfortable and large bed, lots of drawers etc. to store belongings. Even the bath had water jets! Cleaned well every morning. All ran like clockwork. Would most definitely recommend this location for all of the above and location - is a short walk into town and the airport bus is literally around the corner.
