Loved staying at this boutique hotel. Room was perfect and what I was expecting from the photos. Was immaculate and clean. Loved the plush velvet decor and colour scheme - felt posh and elegant but comfy. Easy check-in and checkout and cafe downstairs was fantastic - lovely coffee and food and didn’t have to wait long. Really enjoyed dinner at the Pink Lady restaurant on the top floor - had great service and food was delicious, would definitely go back. Only issue I had was the water temperature of the shower - I wanted it hotter and it wouldn’t go any higher. Maybe it’s a safety thing but if you like your showers hot, this is not the hotel for you. Otherwise amazing stay in the heart of the city.

The hotel lives up to its name, as the building is a very artsy and unique presentation. The room was clean and comfortable with many facilities available. The elevator is old and needs a face lift - lol. I found it was a little inconvenient having to wait around for the poor thing to eventually reach you. Otherwise great staff and atmosphere! Definitely would recommend!

The room was artistic and comfortable. Very clean, perfect space and amenities for a solo weekend in Christchurch. I arrived after midnight and communication with staff prior to and at the time of check out was easy. Right at the start of High Street, the mall was a few steps away, as was the options of food and supermarket. This was the perfect location to walk around town. It was awesome that they had a cafe attached, and the rooftop bar was nice to spend time in the afternoon. Would definitely stay here again.
