We got upgraded to an apartment and the owner was helpful even though we arrived late and helped us with information on the shuttle to the train station. When there was no alarm clock in our unit he loaned us his. More

This was a great hotel for the price! The owner was very helpful, even telling us beforehand what taxi to take from the airport. We came here after a long flight from the US (with a layover in Aukland) and the owner was very kind. He also helped us grab a taxi late in the afternoon went we went to... More

Stayed there for 4 nights after finishing a guided tour. The location is great. Hagley Park just across the road and within walking distance to the city center. This was the best value for money I could find when booking. It was clean and comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and helpful in booking other activites and the airport... More

We Had an amazing stay at Argyle on the park a few weeks ago, I can't stress what a great location it was. Across from the beautiful botanic gardens, heaven on earth, and round the corner from a busy road which has a mall on, all in walking distance. The owners, Maggie and Bruce could not be more helpful if... More

Argyle on the Park is located opposite Hagley Park from which the Botanical Gardens and what remains of the city centre can be easily reached. Just around the corner there are numerous restaurants and food outlets and there's a supermarket in the large mall up the road. The airport road is nearby. Consequently, location is the strongest point in the... More

I have stayed here multiple times. Good value, helpful hosts, clean, comfortable and great location for taking the train, bus or getting to the airport. Walking distance to the Riccarton Mall, or the bus stop, as well as Hagley Park. Road noise is buffered by closing the double glazed windows and turning on the fan that is provided. Much better...

There was nothing wrong with this motel at all but felt a strong 3 stars was about right. Very close to the park, and a few restaurants and shops in walking distance which is a big plus....but Deans Ave the main road is rather busy so we could hear the traffic a bit too much for my liking so almost...

A great motel with plenty of room. My mother and I stayed a night and appreciated the separate bedroom. Close to Hagley Park with lovely walks. Very friendly hosts who provided good suggestions for sightseeing. Thankyou. More

Located a short way from downtown Christchurch, which isn't a bad thing considering most of this area is currently off limits. The decor in the rooms does feel slightly dated, but everything is clean and they contain all the amenities you'd need for a short stay. The staff are very friendly and were on hand to offer advice on where... More

Christchurch is suffering from a decline in tourism because of the earthquakes, but it is certainly worth a stopover and good as a base of operations. The Argyle is run by a family who really go out of their way to be helpful. They can arrange transportation, have good recommendations for dinners and the rooms are comfortable and well furnished....
