Stayed 5 nights and loved my groundfloor room! Every comfort of home. The bed was amazingly comfortable with different pillow sizes from which to select just the right one for your head. Kitchenette had everything I needed, for example, didn't have to go shopping for detergent or wash cloths. Lovely, super hot shower and a big bath. Loved the bedside lamps which gave a real homely feel, very welcome after busy days of being on the go. Close to shops and restaurants and not far from the city centre. Very quiet despite being close to the road, although I had a room towards the back of the property, which may have helped. The only (mild) negative was the tight on-site parking which was really only a problem for me because I was driving a hire car and wasn't quite used to its dimensions haa haa.

I travel a lot for work, I usually stay at a quieter motel. But this time I had to stay here, it was OK. I would class it as a good budget motel. Nothing flash just a good place to stay for a reasonable price. Clean and tidy, walking distance to 15+ eateries. SOYO gelato is too close !

We are a family of two adults and one teenage son doing a road trip on the South Island. The Metropolitan was a great base in Christchurch being 5 minutes walk to Riccarton mall, a cinema and lots of eateries. Totally recommended with very friendly service. We stayed one night on our way south and loved it so much we came back for two more as we drove north.

Lovely hotel and staff. Stayed here while delivering my daughter to university. Great, clean, and spacious rooms. Bathroom is big and tidy with a nice big bath. Location is handy to the mall and shops nearby which suited us as we had things to buy for my daughter's Hall room. While the road is busy, the room was quiet. The staff are lovely, going so far as to fix the wheels on my suitcase when I left it in reception between check out and going back to the airport (Thank you so much). Be sure to give the little pup a cuddle when they come to greet you.
