Location and getting around
Worcester Street runs through the heart of the city, so the Christchurch Tram, the river, the art gallery and the Botanic Gardens are all within an easy walk. New Regent Street, a pedestrian street with cafes, is close at hand. Coach pick-ups for day trips to Akaroa, Hanmer Springs and Kaikōura are centrally based, so you rarely need a car, but self parking is available for a nightly fee with limited spaces. The central position also means evenings out are simple, with restaurants and bars within a short walk.
The rooms and the feel
Apartments are practical and comfortable rather than luxurious, with a separate living area in the larger types and a kitchen that lets you cook or store food. That is a big advantage on a longer trip or with children, because it cuts restaurant costs and gives you somewhere to spread out. The terrace is a pleasant extra, and laundry services help if you are travelling light. Breakfast is not a feature, so plan on cafes nearby or cooking yourself. The apartments are smoke-free and the building has an elevator.
Who it suits and what to know: choose it for families, groups of friends and travellers staying more than a night or two, when the kitchen and laundry make life easier. Couples on a short stay may prefer a hotel with a restaurant and a bar. Check what is included in your rate, because daily housekeeping and parking may differ by booking. Ask for an apartment away from the street if you are a light sleeper. It is a good value choice for the central location, particularly in the larger apartment types.
