I recently stayed at the Golden Hotel in Christchurch and had a mixed experience.
The location is convenient, with easy access to local attractions.
However, I found that it is more like a motel than hotel because our room is situated on ground floor that opens directly to the parking area.
And the most unpleasant part of the experience is - after the stay, we found out we got double charged by the hotel mistakenly, but the staff handled the credit card refund very quickly after we reported the issue, but we still suffered a loss due to exchange rate variation.
Our late check in The hotel is very intimate to put a name on the door of the house and send an email at a glance
The hotel is very clean and the facilities are perfect. The parking space at the door is also very good. If you go next time, you will be fixed.
I loved this motel the room was upto standard and me and my wife loved this motel and it was a very pleasant experience and service was great and great location very close to town and a bus stop outside the motel and the room had a heat pump and tv but the down side was the room did not have a telephone
I would like to ask the team at the motel to install phones as it would be good for guests to have access to a phone
I give this motel 5 amazing stars and highly recommend people stay at this motel

The hotel is close to the airport and is on the main road to Tekapo. The owner is Chinese. My plane is in the middle of the night. It is almost two o'clock to arrive at the hotel. The boss has opened the heating in the room and it is very warm in the room. Because of the late arrival, I contacted the password of the room key box in advance, but I didn’t think that the New Zealand hotel used a very old password box. After a long time, I didn’t open it. The boss heard the movement and helped open it. Hotel facilities are ok.
The owner here is Chinese and very easy to talk to. We have stayed here several times. The environment and facilities are good and it is very convenient to travel.

Nice car 🚙 hotel. There are all big and small beds in the room, and our family of 12 people live in and get what they need, comfortable and clean. The old couple take care of the hotel's daily life, warm and thoughtful.
Upon arrival, the front desk staff was off duty
But the handover method for self-service check-in is very clear and easy to understand.
The room is quite large and well-equipped with a simple kitchen
The heating is very warm, the hot water in the bathroom is very strong, and electric blankets are provided
It’s very warm to live in winter, which is great~
What a lovely stay this was. Close and convenient to where we needed to be the next morning. Greeted by a vary gracious host who walked us to our room (never has this happened before at similar places we stayed at). Apartment was just what we needed for a family of 4 & so neat and tidy. Will definitely stay again.
Very good, very clean! The facilities are also new! There are two rooms! One big bed, one two small bed!

Very Good
GGuest UserThe hotel was very accommodating before even arriving for my stay and agreed to a booking change due to a flight cancellation. The staff were helpful and friendly and the property itself is well maintained and the rooms clean and well appointed. I would stay here again.
GGuest UserDavid was very friendly and went the extra mile to help us. Room was comfortable had everything we needed. Shops were nearby. David gave us a map when we got there to show us where everything was.
SSanThiya10This hotel is in heart of the city. We had a convenient stay in Riccarton-Christchurch. The room is very nice and also the garden landscape. Even though the breakfast varieties is not much but the food is good.
FFanieA lovely motel within a short driving distance to the city centre. There is a small shop (at petrol station) across the road, with restaurants and a range of shops within walking distance. The staff were exceptionally friendly! The actual room was brilliant. Clean sheets and towels every day, with a very nice bathroom and hot water throughout the day. Highly recommended!
SSathit Pgood location. we were there on the 1st day we visited Christchurch. then go to get the rent a car in another day. reduce the score a bit from Parking, need to pay.
HHelloI have given 5 stars to this motel for the service, cleanliness and amenities because each aspect of these beat my expectations! I am usually very conservative in giving reviews.
Initially I was expecting very basic service given it is a motel. But when I opened the door of the room I was quite surprised. You could feel the room is very clean and bright. The amenities are sufficient to make a simple meal for yourself. There is also daily housekeeping services as well (given it is a motel).
The staff at the reception are also very helpful. When I first arrived, the reception lady asked me where I planned to go and showed me the ways.
The motel is also close (5-10 minutes walk) to the Main Street at Riccarton and there are a lot of restaurants there. You can also take bus to the city centre which takes about 30 minutes including waiting.
The motel is also very close to the Christchurch railway station which is only 10 minutes walk, great if you are taking the scenic trains. There are also a number of shops near the Railway station and you can do some shopping for clothes, vitamins and fresh food too!
KKin-wa ChanHotel located in the city centre. River market just a few minutes away where you can find plenty of restaurants. Bus interchange hub is also within a few minute walk.
JJHUOCYUNI will definitely recommend everyone to live in Lylo, their staff very helpful and friendly, and the room super clean and comfortable, it is good experience in new zealand .
圣圣代千层雪This is a Chinese-owned motel located in the heart of Riccarton, next to the Chinese supermarket, about 4-5 kilometers from the center of Christchurch. We live in a two-bedroom apartment. The facilities and equipment are a bit dated, but they are still in normal use. The upper and lower floors of the room, each with a bedroom and bathroom, can be used for cooking, which is suitable for a family. The price is relatively satisfactory. Suitable for self-driving friends.
CcallmebycharGreat cozy room. Spacious ensuite. Love the body length mirrors. Just wish I had a window I could open rather than a sliding door that looks out to the street! and the Cleaners should come a little later in the day for those who like a sleep in.
The average price for hotels in Christchurch is AED 593 on weekdays, and AED 612 on weekends (Friday-Saturday).
