I stayed here for two nights. Very helpful people and they have all the time to help you and make your stay a pleasant one. Rooms had everything needed – although they are not very new, everything was lovely and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Free Wi-Fi (200 MB/night) was plenty for checking emails and doing a bit of... More

The kitchen had every thing that you would need (including food wraps and paper towels) for your stay and the living area in the family room... More

Helpful owner on arrival. Parking directly outside our room which helps carrying luggage into our unit, Clean room, comfy beds and we liked being handed a bottle of our preferred fresh milk for a welcome cup of tea. Very close to wonderful Hagley Park which is well worth a walk through to the museum and the centre - you can... More

The Aalton was the only accommodation we arranged that emailed us directly after receiving our booking thanking us for it and offering any assistance they could.Our room was a large studio which was...

Good value. Convenient. For city centre-a pleasant walk through the park. Choice of restaurants nearby. Free shuttle to train station but is only 10-15 main walk. Shuttle not free for return journey! Some passing noise at night but only what you would expect in any city.

Had an event in Christchurch where the whole family came over to Christchurch. Rented out 5 rooms for the lot. The rooms were big, well equipped and warm. It was cosy, clean and felt like a home. There was a guest laundery at the site. The hotel is very strategic. It is located a mere 5 minutes walk to Hagley... More

Stayed at the Aalton motel when travelling with friends. The 2 bedroom unit was clean, spacious and well equipped, although a bit dated in decor. The shower pressure wasn't that great but otherwise everything worked well and the unit was very tidy and functional. The kitchenette was very well equipped and overall the unit was spacious and functional. Friendly owner.... More
