Our upgrade was fabulous. Very well equipped comfortable and a whole apartment that was very clean and comfortable. The manager and his wife the receptionist were outstanding in B their welcome and willingness to help with every request. The pick up and drop off service was also greatly appreciated. This is a motel that we would recommend to anyone looking for a great location for a longer stay. Walking distance to everything and public transport at the door. A fantastic place to stay in Christchurch. We loved our time at Admiral Motel. Highly recommend

Highly recommend!

We arrived late at night on a late flight, but the room was already warm with the heater turned on, which was such a thoughtful touch. It made us feel very welcomed and allowed us to relax right away. The room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. I had a great stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

The motel was spacious and clean. We had a couple of issues during the first night of our stay, but the owners saw to them as soon as possible. Good location close to the city centre which made all local amenities accessible, especially by car. The owners were very welcoming and are doing their best to inject some life into what is an older style motel.
