This is a lovely motel. It is on a busy road, but the rooms have been designed with a bathroom between the bedroom and the courtyard, and so noise is kept to a minimum. Our one-bedroom until was spacious, tidy and spotlessly clean, with a balcony on the sunny side. The owner is friendly and helpful. Location is great, near... More

Despite recent earthquakes, this place is well presented, clean and tidy. Interesting layout of the rooms but works well. Quiet, good location, free wifi and use of the gym across the road. More

We finished our two months trip in NZ with a weekend in Christchurch. Roma on Riccarton has a fantastic location, top quality rooms for this price category and great friendly staff, who helped us a great deal. A pleasure to stay. More

Was in NZ for a conference, and was slightly worried about a 'MOTEL' (first encounter...) was pleasently surprised about the Great Location - walking distance to town centre, shops, food and parks. Rooms was clean and although only basic facilities, everything worked efficiently and well! Free Internet too. Great! Strongly recommended if you are looking for accomodation in Christchurch. More

We stayed two nights in Christchurch and would gladly stay at the Roma on Riccarton again. A very practical setup: beautiful modern bathroom, separate sleeping room, small sitting room and patio, and kitchenette. The owner was helpful and courteous. Easy restaurant and park access by short walk. Very pleasant place. Free Wifi available across the block at a coffee shop. More

I extended the booking to two nights and then also added a night for the following weekend, when... More
