狭さを感じたハカハウス

ハカハウスはこの街のシンボルであるHagley parkから徒歩圏内でありとても静かなロケーションである。また街の主要な観光スポットまで徒歩で10－20分程度。 ハカハウスの館内はとても複雑に入り組んでおり、常時狭さを感じた。設備は整っているが、使い易さは感じない。また、付近の道路に駐車スペースを確保するために多くの時間を必要とした。

2階建ての建物で、造りが複雑でした。初めは大変でしたが、慣れると実家のようで面白かったです。洗濯が1度外に出てから、建物を移動するので少々不便ですが、清潔ではありました。物干し竿があるので、乾燥はしなくても乾かすことが可能です。 キッチンが2つあり、広さも十分です。プレイングルームにはコーヒー(有料)やロッカー(鍵が必要)があり、滞在しやすくなっていました。 また、ボタニカルガーデンやアートセンターには近い位置にありますが、お店が少なく中心より少し離れているので、歩く必要があります。値段より良い滞在が出来たと思います。

I stayed a couple of nights in a single room with a shared bathroom. It was simple, but clean and comfortable, and it had everything I needed for a short stay. I also liked that the shared bathrooms were single occupancy instead of having to share a bathroom with several other people using different stalls, as I've seen at other hostels. The location was convenient, and it was easily walkable to everything I needed.

Great choice in the CBD of Christchurch

Three nights in Christchurch at the beginning of our stay in New Zealand. Nice folks on staff. Kitchen was well appointed and everyone was great about sharing/cooperating. Met some lovely folks, and enjoyed it. We hade a twin room. which was small, but we made it work. Would certainly stay here again if back in Christchurch. Oh, and a number 8 bus stop very close by and other bus stops for other busses easily in walking distance. You are vey much downtown, so many of the things on our to do list were easily walkable...
