A Hotel for Urban Explorers

BreakFree is the ideal hotel for a solo traveler wanting to explore Christchurch. Most attractions are easily within walking distance. Most of the single rooms are quite small, but functional with exceptionally comfortable beds. This hotel is ideal for the intrepid traveler that wants to explore Christchurch instead of spending a lot of time in the hotel room. A shout out to the front desk staff who have been professional and gracious during my two stays at this hotel.

A good choice as the hotel is central. The room was small yet compact. Being so central meant a lot of noise from outside. A good place to spend a night or two.
