It was clean & comfy but kind of noisy (heard people walking in halls & upper floors). Parking lot only has about 12 spots so have to find off site parking. We arrived late (just after 10pm) & asked if there was anywhere to grab a bite & a drink. Front counter said nowhere was open but there’s a casino around corner with food & drinks open until midnight.

Hits (Room) , misses (Service)
Location is a little off but is a short walk 600m to Catheral Square and Market Square. But don’t go in the evening cos shops are mostly closed. Room given to me was street facing and noise only died down towards late night. Other than that, the chambermaid/man has done a brilliant job of keeping to room clean and the bed extremely comfy. Staff are friendly but not so helpful though. Would have given a 5-star rating if service was better.

Price was pretty good, nice clean bedroom, bathroom. Would've been nice to have more bedding though! Parking is frustrating as you have to pay for a park to stay there, then walk a block to it. Not ideal for colder months

The hotel and rooms are very nice. The service really good. The restaurant is a hot mess. At least when we came for breakfast. It took an hour to get the food and the coffee was Luke warm. Another table left after an hour wait I sent my scrambled eggs back - they were straight off the buffet.

I was very satisfied with my stay here at Carnmore. It's close to riverside market, victoria square, BNZ center, botanical garden, and especially the bus interchange. I was greeted by Mercy upon check in, had a nice conversation and she was very helpful during my stay in Carnmore! She gave me a map and recommended me places to visit and how to get there which I greatly appreciate because this is my fiest time in Christchurch, New Zealand. Also, big thanks to my housekeeper, there's daily room cleaning which I really appreciate! I feel very welcomed whenever I come back to a tidy room after a long and exhausting day. I haven't gotten the chance to eat at Hoi Polloi (the hotel's restaurant), other than ordering a chocolate mousse. The presentation is beautiful and the cake was great!
