"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. "
"The breakfast was nothing. The room I booked was okay. The equipment was OK but a bit old. The environment was convenient. The front desk staff were nothing overly welcoming but ok."

Great
YYT peonyA very good hotel, good staff and service. Highly recommended. Hotel breakfast and dinner were excellent. We had a comfortable stay here. Also the location is very close to the airport, about 100 metres which one can walk there within 5 minutes. Five stars hotel with no doubt.
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.
JJJJSWSThis hotel is beyond expectation. Very well located, next to the art center and botanic garden. We took short 10 minute walk to city center. Parking on hotel properties is extra 25 NZD but worth it. Room has enough space for family of four. Beds were comfy. Room not very sound proofed but luckily the area and hotel guests were not noisy at all.
GGuest UserThe room was very tidy and the mattress was comfortable. There is a very nice little garden in the hotel and the front desk service is very kind. Overall a great hotel.
房间非常整洁,床垫很舒适。酒店有一个非常漂亮的小花园,前台服务非常友好。总的来说,这是一间很棒的酒店。
TTomFraenkNice stay in Christchurch. Two nights in the motel with a very friendly and helpful staff. Big advance - the shuttle service from/to the airport with just a few minutes drive. Very good service and availability by call. Room with a big space, very clean. The furniture wasn‘t new, but well maintained and quite clean. It needs around 30 minutes with the bus to the city Center. No convenient stores or shopes close by.
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!
XXuanhaoNeat and spacious. Had a large campervan which is hard to find parking for most accommodations. Thankfully they had a huge parking space that fit the campervan nicely and was free too!
SSukyWe stayed at the hotel for 4 nights just recently, first arrived at the hotel, the reception was polite enough but not as helpful as any front desk staff coud be. The room was clean and comfy, location was fantastic, environment was superb (quite, few hote guests).
But somehow my wife lost her wedding ring from our room. We only noticed by the end of the day, and should have picked up earier.
Mr. Sui Beng Teh, the hotel manager, made it even worse from a travellers point of view. He has the worse attitude to the whole incident, instead of offering his empathy, he pushed responsibility back to the hotel guests who lost the wedding ring in his room at his hotel. His passive aggression is throughout all the poor google review!
He reacted bluntly when questioned about CCTV other than the door access record he could provide immediately, being agreesive at his answer and attitude towards to someone who turned over the room to just look for the missing ring. He was not friendly, empathatic nor welcoming despit he is in hospitality industry.
Im not blaming at anyone here or making any accusation on anyone but he as the hotel manager was the only one we could seek help for in a foreign country, and he expected us undedstanding how police and system worked here. To us, he made us sound like ****** and being forgetful on our own properties.
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 SAR 630 on weekdays, and SAR 642 on weekends (Friday-Saturday).
