Aotea Motel

Comfort was ok but bed too hard for my liking. The rooms need updating with efficient heat pumps and appliances such as hairdryers. Also small maintenance jobs needing to be done, eg windows sealing to prevent cold coming in.

Very small family unit that was poorly maintained. Hole in a bedroom door, no light in the toilet, spiders and webs in the bathroom, mouldy shampoo packets, broken power switch in one bedroom, shonky paint patch ups, and one bedroom door doesn't align with the door frame. Very poor value for money (stayed in much nicer motels in Christchurch for less). Pleasant host and comfortable beds with clean sheets, however. Would never stay here again.

The rooms were very clean and the bedding was spotless. But my daughter had to swap beds because the first one was so uncomfortable. We couldn't sit on the sofa as it was very worn and felt like you were falling through it. The water pressure in the shower was non-existent. The motel in general felt bit tired, and the fittings were very dated. It was fine for a weekend where we didn't need to stay in all of the time, and convenient for getting into the cbd and to the competition we were attending.

Awesome place to stay. Good Location. Fair price. Comfortable beds.

Arrived with the reception close. Didn’t see anyone on reception during whole trip.

Bealey Ave. is always a handy and fairly central location to be in. We enjoyed our 1 night stay. Owners were friendly and helpful.

Staff were very friendly.

Great room layout for a family and usable kitchen.

Warm, clean and central
