It delivers on every level for a mid-range hotel. The rooms are clean and functional. The bed, the pillows and the linen are all fresh and new. The a-c is great. Even the shower has plenty of room and with a little more pressure would be amazing. The location is on the fringe of central and very walkable to may good restaurants, bars and tourist sites. As someone who essentially lives in hotels and has done for 12 years, this place meets all your basic needs except for 1 large glaring issue that will stop me staying in the future.
The one large, terrible, woeful, glaring issue with this hotel is the 10.00am check-out time. Bloody ridiculous in this day and age to expect Guests to be out and about by 10.00am. At minimum it should be 11.00, at best, 12 noon. Catch-up Carnmore, the rest of the world ( except sleepy backwaters like NZ and Australia smaller towns ) Globally it's a 12 noon check-out and so should you. I will be coming in and out of Christchurch a lot over the next 12 months but unfortunately will have to stay elsewhere due to the ludicrous, early check-out time. Nuts people. It's a real shame because otherwise I love the hotel. I stayed a week this time, spent over 4 figures and they still insisted I leave at 10.00.

I loved the room! Very large window that faced the river, I think it is by far the best hotel I've stayed in while visiting Christchurch. The bed was comfortable and the linen, clean. There were extra blankets for the really cold weather, overall very quiet!
Parking was a bit stressful. Street parking, first in first serve. Hotel carpark around the back has 6 space, often full of cars that didnt belong to guests.

The environment meets my exception, which looks the same, just like the photos. Clean and tidy. Water in the shower room was strong and stable. This hotel provides the front desk service until 24:00, which is quite convenient for tourists who want to explore more about the city. Furthermore, the staff at the front desk and the restaurant are all quite nice and helpful. Especially thanks to James, the staff at the restaurant is super nice. I had my own food, which was a leftover from dinner last night. He helped put them out in one plate and microwaved it without any hesitation. That prevented a waste and also provided us with a wonderful breakfast. Very enjoy the stay and must recommend friends to stay.

Comfortable and relaxing. Convenient location to the city. Bedroom was modern and well presented.
Thought breakfast was a little too extensive as I only have a small breakfast. Bowl of cereal, two pieces of toast and a couple of tea on first day. A bowl of cereal and a cup of tea for second day. Take pastry for morning tea to make up for what I pay for! Thought the reception staff were at times not accommodating to my needs. Pay for my breakfast or dinner when the registering of catering has not come through the system. Due to my dealing with Booking.com they could not assist me with my enquiry. Was a little disappointed.

On arrival ready for us, didn’t need to show my booking just gave my name.. parking - always plenty outside or along the street. I like that I don’t have to pay for parking, although there are a limited amount available, I am fine with parking directly outside the Hotel. Daughter went down stairs to get some ice for a drink, they gave us an ice bucket full of ice to take to the room. Very accommodating, super friendly and this is the second time I have stayed here in a matter of months. Wall to a first table was only five mins walk to the Crowne Plaza. Easy walk to town and other bars!! love it at the Carnmore.
Nothing, every staff member smiled and greeted you in whatever their role.

The room was clean and comfortable. Good and clean bathroom with a large shower. Breakfast was tasty, and the staff is very nice. The bed was very comfortable and there isn't a lot of noise from the outside, so you can get a nice sleep.
I felt like the breakfast could have more variety of things to eat. I disliked the fact that it only offered filtered coffee when it comes to what is included, so if you wanted an espresso, you had to pay extra. Overall, I think the price should be lower.

The room was comfortable and cosy with adjustable temperature settings. When I arrived at the hotel I had become ill enroute. The staff were caring, kind and considerate. They made sure I didn't feel like a burden even though I had to order room service repeatedly. They helped get medicine and a couple of the staff I'd made friends with even checked on me. The food here is fantastic! Do not go past the creme brulee or the lamb roast! Great selection for breakfast and the first night I stayed I had to leave before breakfast started, the hotel was kind enough to pack me a scrummy breakfast picnic for on the train!! Everyone was quite jealous. And the showers here are to die for, the rain mode helped. Thanks team for a fabulous rest and recuperation.
The vegetable soup has been taken out of the menu and swapped for seafood chowder. The menu hasn't been updated so I got caught out as I don't eat seafood. But they happily refunded that.

We booked the Carnmore from the Booking.com website. We only needed one night in Christchurch so it wasn't a big deal if the hotel fell below average expectations. However, we were very pleasantly surprised. From the very warm welcome in reception to the very comfortable bed, wonderfully large shower, value for money and central location, we were more than happy with our choice. If we ever return to Christchurch and need a hotel we'd be delighted to choose the Carnmore again. We cannot comment on food and beverage as we had an early departure in the morning and missed breakfast.
Nothing,

The location is great, very close to everything, while being more affordable. The bus from the airport stops just in front of the hotel. The room was ok, with most of amenities you might need. The restaurant and bar downstairs are very convenient (the happy hour is a plus). All in all, comfortable stay.
Even though I had booked for 5 nights, the room I got when I arrived was overlooking the parking, on the 1st floor, while I know people who stayed for 2-3 days that got much better rooms. I requested a change and got a room on the 2nd floor with a street view, but the whole initial reception just ruined the whole experience for me. While the receptionist was nice, she could have communicated better while looking for another room.

Conveniently close to the city. Bar and restaurant in hotel. It was lovely coming back second time to be welcomed and presented with a lovely Xmas card and chocolate brownie.
My First arrival the hotel my room was clean and was presented. Upon my second return to the hotel found the bathroom was not clean and was advised they were short staffed. I can understand Xmas period can be tough and busy for the hospitality industry.
