Sudima Christchurch City 5 stars

Christchurch City-Centre, Christchurch

New in 2019, this 5-star boutique hotel is ideally located on Victoria Street in the city of Christchurch, amongst a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars. Sudima Christchurch City is just a short walk from Hagley Park and Christchurch's CBD. Rooms were extremely well appointed and perfect sized for two people. Perfect walking distance to everything in City Center, all restaurants and entertainment. Also extremely easy to get to from the Airport there and back on bus 29. Amenities such as espresso pods and tea, milk and sugar in the room made the morning and evening easy. We also enjoyed the free laundry in the 4th floor and we were able to do a quick load. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and knew how to help us get around and get quickly into our rooms when we arrived early.

The town centre is a 10-minute drive from The Rees Hotel & Luxury Apartments. I like the property when I arrive for checking in and I even more like it when I open the door of the unit.
