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.
