Distinction Christchurch Hotel

Distinction Christchurch Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great staff, great service, quick and easy check in, even valet parking was sorted quickly. Bar staff was friendly great service, even restaurant staff for buffet was excellent. Im all about good service and my experience was 5 star, so well done team. Room was huge and the bed was super comfortable. I would stay here again and would highly recommend. Oh and the best location, bang in the middle of the city, close to everything. Thank you, Mealofa"
