Riccarton Village Inn  

Loved the electric mattress pads! Kept us toasty warm on the cold nights.

The hotel does not go by the name Riccarton Village Inn anymore. It is now an Ashley Hotel. When trying to get transportation to hotel we were lucky to find someone who knew they had changed ownership. The hotel should update their reservation companies to the name change, as well as future customers. Bathrooms could use an update. There is construction going on (restaurant is closed) but it did not affect our comfort.

Absolutely hopeless would not recommend it!!

Everything from last minute Cacellation to over charging!!

The Riccarton Village Inn was still a construction site with workmen still in the process of repairs. Tv reception was very poor. This should have been notified in the booking.

Good location

The mattress was uncomfortable, no free wifi, the carpet look very dirty,no kitchen, heater no good, the separate hot and cold water tap

Close to amenities. Room is cleaned everyday. Facilities are good and well-maintained - even it was under renovation when we stayed there.

Internet access at a poor 50mb quota. Seriously, for a week? Hardly used it for few hours and already reached the quota.

Convenient to get bus just outside the church from and to the airport. And easy acess to Westfield Shopping Centre even though the other part of the city shopping is closed due to the recent earthquake.

Too early check out, should allow at least till 12pm.

That I survived a 5 degree earthquake, that rocked the building whcih remained standing and I got back to Austrlia to tell the tale. The design of the building withstood the eartquake, although I felt the shock and noise of falling debri which woke me in the night. The building continued to shake and part of the bedroom wall swayed towards me and left me very frightened and scared. I watched the wall go back to its position as the sway slowed down and the shaking stopped. I understand that this building must be a prefabricated building for the manner in which it moved. No one said anything to me or came to me. I was alone and so scared, but I expect everyone else was too. No staff said anything to me, the following day, and I had to draw there attention to the fact that there had been an earthquake during the night.

I felt there could have been more support and follow up after the earthquake, though the staff were all very polite.

Beds were a little soft. Bedspreads need to be cleaned more or replaced.

Good location and good price

Availability to shopping & food outlets. Also very secure car parking, Beds very comfortable also The hotel was ideal, we would stay again

Really friendly staff =]

no hot chocolate =(

The bathroom fan made that much noise it was uncomfortable showering at 3am before catching early morning flight

Having a bath was a nice surprise, we didnt expect that at all.

Hotel was alot noiser than we expected and having 2 power points to serve 3 appliances (tv, fridge and kettle) proved annoying.
