Top Christchurch Hotel Reviews

Rydges Latimer Christchurch

Rydges Latimer Christchurch

8/10 Good
"Room was great, bathroom was a little dated and small but very functional. Both the single mattresses that made up our king were dated as they were dipped down centre, so you were compelled to be positioned in the dip of each. This wasn't perfect as you rolled back to centre after any effort to reposition yourself. Road noise was minimal into the night, curtains were very good at blocking out light and glazing blocked out noise of other guest returning late outside. Balcony was worthwhile too, looking out to the park square. Reception staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was a little disappointing, hot food was greasy and fatty/oily. Restaurant team was unwelcoming and rude. May be training was the issue here or it was just one individual who we had the misfortune of dealing with. I would skip breakfast and get something in town next time. Overall, the room was great value and comfortable enough. Time to change mattresses though please, as this would have made our stay awesome."
