Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton

The hotel was an amazing stay in a prime location for Christchurch. I had travelled 52 hours to the hotel and to be greeted with a warm cookie and a room ready was fantastic. The bed was comfortable, and the room clean and immaculate. The only reason the rating is 4 was due to the air conditioning either being too hot or too cold regardless of mid range settings. I felt a draft during my stay and this was related to the larger gap beneath the door and a window in the room which did not adequately seal. These did not severely impact the stay, which was an overall pleasant experience. I would rather give the room experience a 4.8/5 if I could. My next visit to Christchurch will keep the hotel firmly in my options. But, there's more! Breakfast was delicious each day and the option for various eggs was a nice addition. It would be great to offer vegetarian alternatives to the bacon and sausages, but this may be more reflective of New Zealand because I struggled to find vegetarian alternatives in some supermarkets too.

I have stayed here twice now and just wanted to say that both times have been amazing. Wonderful service and a very convenient location. During our most recent stay, my mother in law was in hospital nearby and the lovely man at the front desk gave us some extra cookies to take to her. Small things make a big difference and we really appreciated it

Positive: Next to botanical gardens. Rooms are good. The landscaping in the hotel property looks promising (we stayed in winter, but I imagine it is beautiful in summer). Front desk was good. Check in provided warm cookies. Negative: Breakfast and dinner was mediocre. Much better options available all around outside the hotel. The gym is way too small and has too little equipment. Pool was not heated to the point of being usable in winter. Fire alarm was set off by someone at night.

I stayed at Chateau on the Park by Hilton in Christchurch for three nights and really enjoyed it. The hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location was great – close enough to get around easily but still nice and quiet. A comfortable and pleasant stay overall. Would recommend.

Went to Chateau On The Park for lunch recently, to be told the cafe was not open and we would have to order from the bar and eat it there. We did not bother and went down the road to Strawberry Fare. No parking available at the Chateau, so we had to park down the road and walk to the front door, as no car park spaces. On arrival home I googled reviews of the Chateau Cafe and decided we would not go back there, due to many noise complaints, within the cafe and lack of parking. Many years ago, I frequently ate at the main restaurant and great hall and the food and service was awesome, but think I may just give it a miss, now 14 years later.

We had the pleasure of dining in the Little Red Den Bar for dinner, for a group reunion. The table was set for us, so beautifully. We had the most amazing ‘Sam’ look after us. She, along with the bar staff, treated us with kindness, dignity and top class service. They were efficient and attentive. The food was also delicious. The area gave us space and a quiet area. It was perfect.

This was by far the best hotel I stayed at in New Zealand. Compared to other Hilton properties, the bed here was noticeably larger and more comfortable. I stayed in a twin room, and each bed was around 1.2 to 1.5 meters wide, whereas other hotels only offered very narrow single beds (about 0.9 meters).There was also plenty of space between the beds, which made the room feel much more comfortable. The room was very clean, well-equipped, and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful.The location was also decent, making it a very convenient and pleasant place to stay overall.I would highly recommend this hotel — especially if you’re looking for a comfortable and restful experience.

Honestly, probably the worst hotel experience I’ve had. The aircon didn’t work, and when I asked about it, maintenance just said it’s old and “takes time” to cool the room — but it never really did. Super uncomfortable and definitely not worth the price. The buffet was actually pretty decent, but charging extra for a barista coffee felt a bit cheap for a hotel in this price range. Lucky we only stayed one night. Wouldn’t stay again.
