Top Waimairi Beach Hotel Reviews

Sudima Christchurch City

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, great decor/design and facilities within the room. The usual kettle, iron, hairdryer but also the facilities to make basic meals if needed. Overall a very relaxing place, lovely friendly staff. The hotel exudes style, competence and professionalism. Breakfast was very tasty and plentiful despite the slightly compact restaurant space. City centre walkable within 10 mins and plenty of fantastic eateries for dinner nearby. "
