Everything was excellent: location of the hotel, our accommodations and the staff. We had a driving vacation and stayed at six hotels in seven nights, two of which were in Christchurch, one at the start of our trip and the George on the last evening. They were across a large park from each other and in a similar price range. The George far exceeded its "neighbor" across the way in every aspect. Simplify your trip planning: Stay at the George! PS--A special thank you to Mark, who not only facilitated an early check-in but also provided an upgrade in the process. His friendly, accommodating demeanor was a true gift after six long driving days through beautiful New Zealand.

Dane United States of America

lower floor and dark/cool side of building, with a lot of vegetation over windows so that was the worst part. rest was pretty good altho room a bit small

Roz United States of America

Welcoming staff. Spacious, quiet and comfortable room, situated just across from Hagley Park and a short walk into the centre of the City.

Desmond New Zealand

Surpisingly lovely room with a nice theme. We were worried that the bed was the type that could be split into singles, and while you could feel this a little bit, it didn't detract from a very comfortable bed. The room was just big enough to be comfortable at the desk or relaxing reading a book. The staff were exceptional with every request.

Joshua New Zealand

The staff were lovely and very helpful The room was very nice and the bed was comfortable We received a free upgrade The breakfast was very tasty

Naomi New Zealand

The George is always my favorite place to stay when I visit Christchurch. Very comfortable bed and I love The George Bear on the Bed:-)

Shona New Zealand

i loved this hotel. I loved all the eco friendly amenities, the staff, everything. It was a bit of splurge to stay somewhere this nice on my own but it was worth the extra bit. Highly recommend.
