LyLo Christchurch

Decent hotel/hostel close to the airport. We booked the private queen room. It came with a decent sized ensuite and space under the bed to store suitcases. There is a spacious lounge area which is good to chill at if you don’t want to feel entrapped in your small room. The parking on the street is free but is at your own discretion. We parked inside the hotel’s premises which cost us NZD 15. The TV in the room is smart but could not be connected to the internet. That was a bummer. Also the walls are paper thin. We could hear people in the corridor and the people next door talking, laughing and even hanging their coats. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Arrive at 4pm for the night as I was flying out of chch airport at 6am following morning. I booked female only room which contained 6 pods. Was perfect for my brief stay. Bed was comfortable. The recreation room and kitchen is massive, well equiped and clean. If you’re not cooking, right next door is supermarket and restaurants. Staff member I dealt with was lovely and helpful.

Very convenient to the airport. Friendly staff and good value for the price paid. Pods are as expected. No door on them but instead a pull down screen at the entry. Mattress was fine. Fan was noisy though and both USB ports didn’t work. Quite a climb to the upper podsRelaxed atmosphere in the large communal rooms. Overall a fair stat for the price.

Pods were really great. Not too pricey for a hostel near the airport. Really cool chill out space and kitchen area. Quite hot in the room but not too bad, such a good short 1 night stay! Also front desk team super sweet, had a later flight and they allowed me to check-out later

Convenient location ten minutes walk from airport. Varied accommodation choices for all budgets. Excellent communal kitchen and hangout, loads of free food left by departing guests, so if you were just arriving you could feed free for days. No negative comment about service, but we didn't really experience any to be positive about; it's all well set up for people to help themselves, including online check in and out.

I don’t have basic wifi connection in my room. It keeps disconnecting and the staffs reply was they can’t do anything about it. The AC has a locked limit so I can’t change it to heat or cool according to my wish in my room because that’s how they control the system. The room and bathroom is fine otherwise. I am currently staying at the place and I can’t cancel my reservation because I booked through booking.com. The place is charging too much for too little. Not work $650 for 5 days at all. Really disappointed and I need some sort of discount for having to finish my stay here.

Great for a quick stopover. 24hr reception was a life saver because my flight landed at 1 in the morning. Air con sounds louder than a jet engine tho

Lylo Christchurch has easy airport access… an easy 15 minute walk or a $16 uber. I got a queen room with private bathroom. The room was small however it was very clean and tidy. Staff were polite and friendly. McDonalds and KFC are a 5 minute walk away. If driving there is ample parking.

Pod hostel! Plenty of parking, really friendly staff. Beds, pillow, and duvet are really comfortable, bathrooms are plentiful and clean. Common area and kitchen are also huge, kitchen is well stocked. Not very social though. One comment: female dorm rooms are more expensive than mixed dorms. Is that fair? Let's think about why women might want women-only dorms. One reason is because men are often creepy and don't treat women the way we should be treated. As a result, we feel safer in women's dorms. So not only do we already have to pay for period products for about 40 years of our lives in additional to birth control, the discomfort / fear / anxiety coming from how men treat us is being capitalized on? Think again, hostel owners.

I was in New Zealand for work and decided to take a quick solo trip to Christchurch because I'd never been there. I didn't want to spend too much on accommodation, so I booked a night at LyLo. I got a queen room with a private bathroom, and it was very clean and simple. The room was a bit small and lacked amenities, but I didn't mind since I only paid about USD $100 for the night. There is a small shopping plaza next door with some fast food restaurants and a grocery store. The hostel is also nearby CHC airport. It does take about 15-20 minutes by car to get to the city center though. Overall I had a good experience. FYI JUCY Snooze has now been rebranded to LyLo.

Great rooms. Great common room. Close to airport. Clean beds and very comfortable, Love the privacy in each pod.

It is unlikely that we would stay in this particular Jucy snooze again given that we were just a bit far away from Christchurch centre. However, it is perfect if you're just flying in to make your way somewhere else in the South Island. The room was simple and clean, albeit small. Beds ok. The downstairs area and kitchen are pretty cool. Nice reception staff. It was only a one night stay for my husband, daughter and I. We were able to walk to the International Antarctic Centre right behind the hotel, and spent a few hours there - great to visit. We would certainly stay in other Jucy Snoozes elsewhere, like the one in Queenstown because it is much more central. On a needs basis, we would stay here again.
