The location was fantastic, being just a short walk from local shops and eateries. I particularly appreciated the efficient shuttle service that was arranged for us to the nearby train station, making our journeys to attractions like the Canterbury Museum and Christchurch Art Gallery hassle-free. Although there were a few minor issues with the room, the overall comfort and cleanliness made for a pleasant stay. Definitely would recommend for short transit stays or for those looking to explore the area.

Super handy spot!

Really loved how close this place was to the train station! They even offer a shuttle, which is awesome for getting around. The room was spotless and had full kitchen stuff, which made life easier. Just wish the walls were a lil thicker since I heard some noise from outside now and then. Grabbed breakfast in my room too, which was a nice touch!

pink mould

dirty kitchen

i almost thought i could leave a good review, but the shower had a bit of pink mould, how disgusting! and the kitchen bench had food stains all over it, i thought it would be cleaned to a higher standard. is it too much to expect complimentary beverages for paying guests? definitely, not returning here.

frustrating check-in

outdated decor

Helpful shuttle service to nearby train station.

Our check-in was frustratingly delayed, and we had to shout to get a staff member's attention. The room was cramped and lacked proper facilities, making it difficult to enjoy our stay. The decor was outdated, giving the impression that the place has been neglected for years.

The spacious two-bedroom apartment at Arena Motel was immaculate and offered a well-equipped kitchen, making my work stay convenient. Located near the train station, the complimentary shuttle provided efficient transport, particularly useful for my trips to various business meetings. The owner, Jessica, was exceptionally attentive, assisting with local dining options and ensuring our comfort throughout our stay.

Minor noise from traffic at times.
