I enjoyed my stay other than the stairs which was my fault for not requesting no stairs. Staff were all wonderful, kitchen amenities very good. Didn't have stove top or rice cooker which was listed. Shower had great pressure. Very handy to shops and bus system. Ideal for my needs and budget.

The staff are friendly and helpful. We borrowed an outlet adapter from them as ours didn’t work in NZ. We have asked our tour guide to return it to the hotel as the tour guide couldn’t stop at the hotel location. We hope he’ll return the adapter to the hotel soon. Thank you City Center Hotel for your kind help and understanding! Next time when we come to Christchurch, we’ll stay with you again.
