The Salerno Motel is just as nice as it was the first day it opened. Pauline and Brendan always make it feel like home away from home. The rooms are spacious, clean, and accommodating, beds are comfortable, the location is good. I like it there so much that I wish I lived there permanently!

Pro's: Great location, VERY CLEAN, comfy enough, nice accommodating staff who loaned us a fan when we requested one and good amenities in the room. Cons: It's not great value for money, we had a 1br suite, the bedroom was tiny, only room for 1 suitcase and there were 3 armchairs in the lounge area, nowhere comfy to 'lounge' and... More

Brendon and Pauline's focus on the customer and going the extra mile was amazing. They continually amazed us at foreseeing our needs over and over, and always delivering a solution with a smile. Nothing was too much of a problem, truly professional hosts! The 2 bedroom was so spacious and easy to live in for a month, we have recommended... More

When we were looking for accomodation in christchurch we were shocked at the prices, yes it was Easter but that didn't justify the astronomical prices until we got to the Salermo & meet our neighbours.

Although very clean our room was basic and extremely dark. We were on the ground floor so had to close the curtains to get any... More

The rooms are average but over priced, good central location, no nice extras like you would expect at a motel at this price point. There's better in Christchuch, I noticed after three visits this year that this city's accommodation is now very expensive.

It’s taken a long time to write but stayed here in September 2011 for the Rugby World Cup. After the earthquake we still decided to visit Christchurch for 4 nights (1 or 2 nights too many due to the circumstances) as this was our first stop after flying for so long. The motel was the best we stayed in New... More

Even took time to sit and visit with us. Apt was spacious and clean. Had everything we needed. We stayed 2 nights. easy walk to Botanic gardens --which I... More
