You could not find a better location in Christchurch. It would be very doable to spend the entire day at the Arts Centre, which surrounds the hotel. There was a lovely wine bar, two great cafes, galleries, museum, library, and a stellar independent movie theatre. The botanical garden is across the street, with the Avon winding thru it.
The hotel itself has a large, high-ceilinged sitting room, with 24/7 coffee & tea, as well as lots of seating, interesting books etc. They really spared no expense in the common area. The rooms are not over-large, but have high ceilings and large windows.
We would happily stay here again.

The room was large, comfortable, and clean. That was probably the nicest shower we've had during our travels around New Zealand! The location was nice and quiet, and parking relatively easy.

Botanical Gardens
It started with a single English oak tree that was planted to mark a royal wedding in 1863. Since then, Christchurch Botanic Gardens has bloomed into a floral phenomenon that boasts beautifully manicured beds of azaleas, magnolias and rhododendrons. Wander around the quaint Rose Garden to see its 250 species, or explore more exotic plants in the tropical conservatory.

We have visited Christchurch Botanical Gardens twice now on...
We have visited Christchurch Botanical Gardens twice now on two different trips to the area. It is a very large garden with lots of beautiful plants to see and the river makes everything even more beautiful. There is a large car park available so look out for this. On our first visit we didn't realise and struggled to find parking on the street.

As we arrived in Christchurch early afternoon and wanted to explore the city and Botanical Gardens the hotel kindly allowed us to check-in early. The Commodore is located in a quiet suburban area close to the airport and provides an airport shuttle for guests. Hotel facilities include a pool, and dinner in the restaurant was very good - a relaxing evening before a long journey. We opted for a business level room on the top floor - nicely appointed, very clean and quiet.
Everything about our stay was phenomenal! The nicest staff we have ever encountered in any hotel stay. Extremely comfortable room with many thoughtful touches and amenities. Great location right across the street from the Botanical Gardens, well worth a visit. We had dinner at 50 Bistro and found the same welcoming and caring attention. I would definitely stay here again.
Great location for visiting Christchurch. Loved the bars and restaurants nearby (OGB for breakfast, The Church Pub for celebrating St. Patrick's Day, twenty seven steps for dinner New Regent in general) . Loved visiting the Antarctic Center and Botanical Gardens during our stay.
Excellent location. Can walk everywhere in Christchurch from here and such a lovely city to walk about. Parks, river walks, botanical gardens, quality restaurants everywhere. The tram is right outside the door though it has a short route and you can walk it easily and save the fee for lunch somewhere nice. The rooms are small, but fairly well equipped. Washer and dryer were great.
A lovely boutique hotel adjacent to the Botanical Gardens. We easily walked to everything, but for those needing transportation, the tram stop was directly across the street.
We arrived early from the airport, and the staff were allowed us to leave our luggage and park the rental car on site, which was awesome. Despite the fact that there was an electronic music festival down the street that night, we did not hear any noise. Hotel was conveniently located within walking distance to the little river that runs through town down to the River Market area. Also close to the Botanical Gardens. Lots of places to eat within a pleasant walk. Only stayed one night. Clean and comfy.
Very nice family run motel / apartment. Kitchen and bathroom were recently remodeled with nice amenities. Beds were very comfortable. It is located a short distance from the central park and botanical gardens. The best part of the stay was meeting the husband and wife who run the place. They were extremely kind and helpful in giving us directions to get around Christchurch and the airport.
The house is beautiful, and our room is very large and attractive. Orari Boutique Hotel is located in a very central location. We walked to the lovely botanical gardens and to Fiddlesticks Restaurant for dinner.
The location is great in that the Botanical Gardens are literally right across the street, eateries and shops within very reasonable walking distance. Clean room & bathrooms. Kitchen had ample refrigerators and a freezer, cook tops etc Very friendly and serviceable staff. It looked more like a fancy hotel then a hostel.
