Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Harbour Hotel & Spa Christchurch from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often praise the Harbour Hotel & Spa Christchurch's great location near the Quay and large natural harbour. The rooms are frequently described as clean and comfy, with even the "snug" doubles surprisingly spacious; some guests, however, have mentioned minor wear and tear in the rooms. The Upper Deck restaurant's food is often highlighted, and the breakfast stands out with its amazing amount of choice, plus little touches like complimentary gin and tonic in the rooms are appreciated.

Excellent Location and Dining

on-site parkingfriendly staffcomfy bedtasty breakfast
The hotel had great on-site parking and I found it easily. The staff was friendly and professional. My room was clean and cozy.. The bed was super comfy, so I had a great sleep. The breakfast choices were fantastic and tasty. We loved the breakfast, especially the fresh pastries.
The room showed some signs of wear, including water marks on the headboards and chipped walls around the window. The chrome finish in the bathroom was also a bit poor.

loose tileslong wait
The steam room had a few loose tiles. It was also annoying I had to wait quite a WHILE for coffee at breakfast. I think they prepare handmade coffees for everyone. I would have preferred the usual french-press. They also had not replenished the gin in the decanter when I arrived. That was a bit DISAPPOINTING.
