Of all the hotels we stayed in during our 25 days in NZ, The George in Christchurch was by far our most favorite. A great boutique hotel with exceptionally friendly and professional staff. As one would expect in a boutique context, the attention to detail was in everything. The room had all comforts, breakfast is great, the decorations around are done with a lot of taste. Thank you for making our stay in Christchurch a heartwarming experience.
PS. Our son (9 y.o.) loves his George teddy and believe it or not it has become his new nighttime buddy! Nice touch.

We enjoyed The George quite a bit and would return. Rooms are very stylish and comfortable, although a little smaller than we were expecting given the photos online. Service was terrific. Parking was astonishingly easy for a city hotel. The onsite, free laundry was very much appreciated. My husband said breakfast was good, but I didn't want to spend so much because I am not a big breakfast eater. There is nowhere very close by to just get a coffee. I wish there had been an option for a small breakfast at the hotel.

Great location by the botanical gardens, nice and friendly receptionist and a welcome coffee was appreciated. Room (premium executive overlooking gardens) was small with no real view, good comfy bed, low pressure shower.
Barman made some great cocktails although the gourmet experience dinner/breakfast was a letdown at the Bistro 50. Free parking and charging was useful.

Lovely hotel, a very clean and luxurious hotel. The rooms are well appointed with little delightful and surprising touches not seen anywhere else by me. The food service was outstanding as was the room cleaning. We had fun with little George. (You’ll find out if you stay here.). Helpful staff.

I took my mum to the 50 bistro for a joint birthday treat. It could not have been better. We shared the bread plate with the most divine smoked butter to start, then mum had a grouper dish with corn and chorizo it was delicious. I had the rib dish with mashed potato so silky they melted on the mouth. It also had mushrooms. It was divine. I had a desert which I shouldn't have as the staff bought us a lovely plate written with happy birthday and some lovely little desert treats, my favourite was the homemade turkish delight. This meal could not have been better, easy parking, delicious food and fantastic staff.
