Everything was excellent!

As ever Orari Boutique Hotel was a pleasure to stay at. It's elegant rooms and charming staff ensured that we were comfortable at all times. The location, a few minutes walk from the Arts Centre and the central city, is ideal.

Ms. Shirley and Her Staffs ( Functional Manager , Breakfast Preparing and Cleaning Mate, are , all very helpful and servicing very well. Room is very clean. Car Park is plenty for 10 cars. Location is very close to many places like what the Orari quote to the guest. The significant matter is Common room for breakfast and relaxing with Free Wine during 17.00-18.00 PM.

Was a little disappointed that breakfast did not include hot dishes but what was offered was perfectly adequate. Also although our room (9) was large and lovely the Wifi was terrible. Apparently the wifi for the B&B is also shared by their holiday apartments on the adjacent block so if there is high use age there it will affect certain rooms at the B&B. Maybe an upgrade of wifi could be a help?

Property was very pretty and furnished beautifully. The location was excellent .

I wish there were duvets/doona on the beds, as we were a bit cold. There was an electric blanket and reverse cycle air-conditioning , but for us it would have been more comfortable with a doona.

great location walking distance from the city with friendly and accommodating staff. Breakfast was included and there was a good choice.

We had only one day in Christchurch. Orari's location is perfect for exploring everything within easy walking distance. The building itself is stunning, with a spacious lounge to relax in the evening, a lovely dining area for breakfast, and many beautiful artworks. The staff have been incredibly helpful and always happy to chat. As first-time visitors, we really appreciated hearing their stories and perspectives about this city.

Only small things - No iron in room but available on request, No milk in room for coffee/tea, breakfast not available till 8 am, difficult to make the room dark enough for sleeping - but these are tiny niggles, it was friendly, comfortable and clean. Brilliant value and much better than most chain hotels. Will definately stay here again.
