The hotel is close to the airport and is on the main road to Tekapo. The owner is Chinese. My plane is in the middle of the night. It is almost two o'clock to arrive at the hotel. The boss has opened the heating in the room and it is very warm in the room. Because of the late arrival, I contacted the password of the room key box in advance, but I didn’t think that the New Zealand hotel used a very old password box. After a long time, I didn’t open it. The boss heard the movement and helped open it. Hotel facilities are ok.
We rented the two bedroom apartment on the first floor for 160nz$ per night which is great price for the big rooms. Kitchen has a cooker, oven and microwave and fridge which were all in good working order. One room is a double bed with heaters on the bed and the other room had twin beds also with heat. There was an extra bed in the lounge area and a newish couch. Table and 4 chairs which need an upgrade . Curtains we new and nice. Parking was fine . They not so great things are the water pressure. Some days there were hardly any pressure. Cleaning could be better - and some days there were no house keeping which does not bother me too much but might be important for some. That said the request for clean towels etc were met promptly but very nice and accommodating owners. Location was great.
Great motel, good location & fantastic helpful and sweet host, Rose. We stayed at Admiral Hotel for 5 days and enjoyed every minute of it. It’s very clean and nice rooms with everything you need; big kitchen with supplies, nice bed and great shower. The hotel is located near city center and only takes 10-15 minutes walk. But the best thing about this hotel is the owner Rose. She is the much loving women, who did everything in her power to let us have the best vacation ever! From we stepped into her motel we felt at home. And even her husband Terry, showed us great hospitality. We can’t thank them enough. All our best recommendations to Admiral Hotel!

The hotel is small, new and in excellent condition. It is comparable to 3.5 to 4 star hotel. The room size is excellent if you book the 1 or 2 bedroom unit. The hotel provides basic amenities like brushes, toothpaste, slippers and cooking facilities etc. Also free parking. Location is excellent and close to Westfield mall. The hotel has a cafe call Ngon Ngon and serve good food especially Vietnamese beef noddle. One setback is aircon is in the main or living room, the bedroom does not have aircon.
We've stayed here several times now because of the central location, quick trip to the airport and access to a variety of restaurants and shops. We were absolutely delighted to be upgraded to a one bedroom unit with a separate lounge/dining area for extra comfort, thank you Apollo team! The rooms are well equipped with full kitchen facilities for meal preparation, great shower and comfy bed. Only one thing that we can see improved is a deep clean of the bathroom and shower area to remove dustiness in corners and mould from the shower cavity. Perhaps a good dose of bleach, 30 seconds shower spray and remove and clean the rubber seals in the shower. We'll definitely be back again.
The family stayed at Garden City for approx 6 weeks as we had a child in Burwood Hospital. Maree and Stuart were very helpful while we commuted between islands. They did things like warm the room before we arrived, let us store items and gave us directions around such a flat city.

This motel must have been built about ten years ago with no investment since. Beds are reasonable and the bare essentials are here. Staff are friendly and helpful. However motel now looks tired and worn with the occasional thing that requires maintenance (pop up plug in bathroom no longer works, blinds in bedroom do not seal properly etc). For $240/night I would have expected better quality.
I expect more from this chain of hotels! It’s the worst hotel we have stayed in especially in Christchurch. 3 Nights in an Executive Room on the 10th floor at a price of $800 + not even including breakfast! I really wished I’d stayed where we normally stay at the Novotel opposite which was $719 for 3 nights including breakfast!! So, what was wrong with this place, well here goes; 1) Restaurant open till 9pm but they switch the coffee machine off at 8.20pm!!!! 2) Caffeittere in the room but no coffee bag to put in it twice in a row missed off. Reception do not have access to these bags so none available. 3) The bed has numerous colourful pillows on which matched the bed spread we took off on the first night and folded it up and left on the floor it remained there for 3 days!!!! 4) The bed was not made at all! All they did was pull the duvet over and straighten the pillows. When you pull the covers off the bottom sheet had not been straightened at all! 4/5 star hotel apparently with 2 star service! Never again will we stay here !

GGuest UserThe location is very convenient, just a few minutes to the check-in airport.
It's very clean and tidy. The services are also good. If can add a microwave to the amenities, it will be wonderful.
GGuest UserDATE OF TRAVEL: July 2023 Stayed here for 10 days on a business trip. Room and bathroom was great but the beds are awful. They are not attached to a bed head and are an ensemble base only so they move around. I had a better sleep in a motel in Timaru, which is a shame because working 10 hour days, staying in a 5* hotel, one would think you'd sleep like a baby. Fortunately the shower's high pressure and the bath were great, Apart from that, the hotel grounds is beautiful with ample parking. My room had a veranda which I liked to sit on and watch the traffic go by. I had requested a microwave so as to meal prep due to my diabetes and this was in there prior to check in which was great. Hotel is just around the corner from a heap of restaurants and Westfield Ricccarton and right next to Hagley Park which was great for a morning walk. In room dining was fine, nothing special. I tried the breakfast buffet in the restaurant on the Saturday and it was lacklastre. Didn't end up going back. Plenty of cafes around anyway. All up, I rate my stay there 4*. The facilities were great, the requests were met eagerly and the bathroom was fantastic. The room itself is really well appointed but the bed is awful which detracts a star. I'd stay there again with my wife though, maybe bring some *****s to attach to the bed legs to stop them from moving around though!
Mmaddiecw98Had a great experience at Rosewood Court Motel for 4 nights. The place was cleaned every day to a high standard and very warm. The shower pressure was amazing. A very comfy wee unit that also supplied a lot of cooking utensils and items which is unlike a lot of motels these days. The service was amazing, the host is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend to anyone and will be staying here again.
GGuest UserExcellent location to explore Christchurch attractions. Very clean and well appointed room for an excellent price (I was wondering what It may be getting into). The room quality was a 3+ star for US standards. The only negative is the lack of parking (only offstreet parking or may have to drive a block away for parking). The clean room, friendly staff and excellent location and the overall niceness of Christchurch and it's people in general made us quickly get over the initial stress of trying to find a place to park. Thank you Sameera!
KKin-wa ChanHotel located in the city centre. River market just a few minutes away where you can find plenty of restaurants. Bus interchange hub is also within a few minute walk.
HHelloI have given 5 stars to this motel for the service, cleanliness and amenities because each aspect of these beat my expectations! I am usually very conservative in giving reviews.
Initially I was expecting very basic service given it is a motel. But when I opened the door of the room I was quite surprised. You could feel the room is very clean and bright. The amenities are sufficient to make a simple meal for yourself. There is also daily housekeeping services as well (given it is a motel).
The staff at the reception are also very helpful. When I first arrived, the reception lady asked me where I planned to go and showed me the ways.
The motel is also close (5-10 minutes walk) to the Main Street at Riccarton and there are a lot of restaurants there. You can also take bus to the city centre which takes about 30 minutes including waiting.
The motel is also very close to the Christchurch railway station which is only 10 minutes walk, great if you are taking the scenic trains. There are also a number of shops near the Railway station and you can do some shopping for clothes, vitamins and fresh food too!
GGuest UserRoom was very comfortable and clean. good facilities. TV was amazing. Lots to choose from on it. Microwave for cooking supplied. Fridge also. Washing facilities if required and all Free! Staff were amazing. So very accommodating. Listening to all your needs and running with all your requirements. Very friendly team. Beds are very comfortable. Situated within walking distance of hospital and lots of places to eat around as well. A mall is not far away. Prices to stay were excellent.
GGuest UserManager very efficient @ helpful. Could walk to city thru park. The other way to shops @ Westfields. Rooms all facilities, no frills. Just as advertised, no surprises. Bit of noise in front rooms while very quiet at back. $40 taxi to airport roomy parking area
GGuest UserFantastic spot, had a lovely time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend for anyone staying in the area. Beds were comfortable and showers were clean. You can walk around to restaurants closeby
CcallmebycharGreat cozy room. Spacious ensuite. Love the body length mirrors. Just wish I had a window I could open rather than a sliding door that looks out to the street! and the Cleaners should come a little later in the day for those who like a sleep in.
