We stayed here for two nights and found the location and service excellent! We had good service at the bar and breakfast restaurant and reception staff were very helpful with local knowledge and bookings. Our only issue was of our own doing. I didn't notice when I booked the hotel that there was no air-conditioning (the note about opening windows... More

We arrived at the Holiday Inn at 1am in the morning and everything was ready for us. The staff were very helpful all through our stay and we were made to feel like valued customers. The room was clean and comfortable. The view from the restaurant onto the Avon River while eating your meal was lovely. We had the breakfast... More

We stayed here for one night on 21 October 2010 and have stayed here several times previously. We really like the hotel, it is in a nice setting a short walk from the CBD and beside the Avon River. The hotel is very clean and comfortable and the service is excellent. The breakfast buffet provides a good selection of hot... More

I don't think the Holiday Inn is a poor hotel. But I did have a poor experience. It has led me to writing on Trip Advisor for the first time.

The location of the Holiday Inn is superb - just a 20-minute walk along the banks of the river Avon to get to the city centre. But the fabric and furnishings were very tired indeed and the rooms were stiflingly hot. When we asked... More

(obviously not Holiday Inn's fault) We were greeted by err... no-one. No Doormen or help available for bringing luggage in. My husband and i had to bring our own bags (which... More

After quite a long walk to the back corner of the hotel, we exited through a door into the back carpark and hotel bin area and then arrived at the little inn a the back. This hotel is a boring, average hotel in the whole, however the double story townhouse at the rear of the hotel was very suitable for... More

HOLIDAY on AVON hotel in Christchurch may not be a five star hotel, but it comes pretty close. It is not new, but the rooms are clean, tidy and very large. The beds are comfortable and the pillow menu includes a lavender pillow, which was so delightful. The refrigerator WAS new and it was nice not to be wakened by... More
