My wife and I spent our first night of our NZ honeymoon here. After traveling for nearly 30 hours, we were exhausted. We were very pleased to find that the motel was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. After sleeping in we explored christchurch. The earthquake damage is extensive and sad. It's actually quite impressive that the motel is... More

We stayed here in August 2011, we arrived from the trans-alpine train and therefore had no car. Tina was fantastic, we borrowed her car to get our shopping that evening, she helped us with a map to navigate our way around which is quite tricky as lots of the roads are closed or one way! We borrowed her car again... More

We spent 2 nights at the City Centre motel in January. Our room was a studio - small, but clean and cozy. It was nice having a sliding door to open up and get some fresh air. The location was good - it was a 10-15 minute walk to the city center and Botanical Gardens. Normally, this might seem a... More

The City Centre Motel is a great accomodation. The owners and staff are very committed and customer oriented. The rooms are very clean and the motel is not effected by the recent earthquakes. It's a 15 minute walk to the city center. The staff provided a lot of tips and pointed out interesting places to visit in Christchurch. More

Stayed at the Motel when travelling in New Zealand during the Rugby Wiorld Cup. Had liased with Tina and Mary over several months and the service was excellent - rooms very clean and spacious - very central location and able to use internet/ laundry services with ease - so welcoming the Motel cannot be more strongly recommended!!!!! Thanks again -... More

It was not the most ideal day to check in, nor the best time, took the keys from Mary at the reception at 3 pm and got hit by the 6.0 earthquake just as we were heading to our room. A terrible thing to happen when one is traveling with 2 little kids , but what i would rather remember... More

I was able to stay here on the sofa bed of my brother's suite after our van died during the world cup. Obviously we had planned on staying in our van but ended up crashing here and it was great. The rooms were clean, spacious and modern and Tina couldn't help us enough in the morning, even offering to drive... More

I recently spent 2 weeks driving across the south island with a friend and booked the City Centre Motel in Christchurch based on tripadvisor reviews. We only stayed one night in one of the units at the end of the property since it was quieter. The Motel is not new and the age is showing throughout the property. Tina was... More

The simple name of this motel belies the quality of its rooms and service. Everything worked great and the flowers were in bloom. Just a short distance from the CBD (which is unfortunately closed). Free wifi too! Would definitely stay here again if coming to Christchurch. More
