Our twin room was decent - a good size but an odd shape (very long and thin, with two single beds end to end rather than next to each other). Mattresses were a bit saggy but not too bad. Bathrooms were ok, but I'm only 5'2 and even I had to bend down to get my head under the shower!... More

our stay at charlie b's was excellent with the exception of the extremely rude night porter who we could hardly understand. we arrived at 1am so it was good they had 24 hr check in. the sheets were white and crispy and pillows were clean which was important for me! people were friendly, staff were friendly. bit of walk into...

Very clean Hostel with modern facilities, brand new kitchen and friendly staff and a fab garden. Washing machines could do with updating and more showers and toilets but apart from that i cannot say anything negative about this place.

I stayed in a single room for a week during a conference - clean and comfortable, great range of brochures, and the staff were very friendly and helpful in booking tours etc. Great rates, all the amenities you need (kitchen, TV room, laundry, etc), and great security - apparently in a slightly dodgy area of town, but I had no...

The hostel had easy to use internet, laundry facilities and a great selection of information about what to do in Christchurch. Overall... More

Its within easy walking distance to the cathedral square from where buses depart to both the airport and the train station. The hostel itself is very clean with a mid sized kitchen and two seperate tv rooms. The staff are... More

This hostel is one of the best in New Zealand and Australia! I have stayed is some nice places but this place ticked all my boxes and then some. Its central, reasonably priced, staffed 24 hours, CLEAN (like no other hostel I have seen before) and the staff could not do enough for me. They had just finished renovating the... More

We stayed in a double room for a couple of nights. Really clean hostel from the bathrooms to the shared communal areas (well, maybe not the kitchen all the time, but its a big hostel so what do you expect!) with informative front desk staff. Nothing more to say, than if you want some where cheap (that does not charge... More
