Airport Gateway Hotel & Motel Christchurch

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a fantastic experience at the Gateway Motor Motel Christchurch. Jackie and Keith were the most amazing and helpful people right from the moment I arrived. They made check-in a breeze, personally showed me to my room, gave me a little tour of the facilities, and even made sure the heating was on so I’d be warm and comfortable. Their kindness went above and beyond when they also helped me return my car after hours — such a lifesaver! Friendly, professional, and genuinely caring service. The shuttle bus got me to the airport on time the next morning running at 3.30am. can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Just stayed here for 2 nights. Nice clean room, very friendly staff and great food ordered through room service. The best thing for me was the ability to have my dog stay as well. Can be a wee bit noisy with traffic but not a big problem. Well definitely be back.

The Airport Gateway Hotel in Christchurch lives up to its name, offering excellent proximity to the airport. While I didn't need the shuttle service or use the on-site restaurant during my stay, the core accommodation itself was very satisfactory. My room was clean, well-supplied with amenities, and the bathroom was similarly clean and well-equipped. A definite highlight was the massive TV, perfectly positioned and easy to enjoy comfortably from the bed – a real plus for relaxing. The only notable challenge was the parking situation. While spaces are numbered, suggesting assigned spots, it actually operates on a first-come, first-served basis. This made finding a space upon returning to the hotel each time a bit of an unexpected hassle. Thankfully, the staff were consistently efficient and friendly, which significantly smoothed things over. Considering the comfort and location, the Airport Gateway Hotel represents good value for money, just be prepared for potential parking availability issues.

I’m still staying here! Am just here a night but the staff are so pleasant to converse with and the service is amazing!! Just had food delivered to my room by the loveliest woman from the restaurant and bar, and it tastes incredible! Not just that, but the lady behind the front desk is wonderful and the man who picked me up from the airport in the shuttle seemed lovely as well. Overall, despite being here a mere few hours, I’m having a ball! Also the room is immaculate, warm and the huge TV on the wall is definitely keeping me company! Not to mention the shower!! Again, overall a great experience xx

A great place to stay before an early flight. The rooms are good, the parking whilst overseas is the cheapest deal around. The free shuttle is useful, especially at 3.30 a.m.

Wow! This place is a total gem. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The rooms are cosy, clean and fully kitted out with everything you need. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent. I’ve paid four or five times as much on an overnight stay, and not felt as satisfied as I did here. Fantastic value for money. A+++

This place is real good! Never been to a hotel room that had a huge TV and a home theatre system built in! Great! Breakfast in the morning at the restaurant was lovely too! A lot of conference rooms so this would be a great place for a corporate conference. Very clean room, nice, close to the airport. Do recommend

Wow, what a great place to stay. Booking was easy, reception staff were friendly and helpful, bar staff were professional. The room was clean, modern & roomy. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
