The hotel lives up to its name, as the building is a very artsy and unique presentation. The room was clean and comfortable with many facilities available. The elevator is old and needs a face lift - lol. I found it was a little inconvenient having to wait around for the poor thing to eventually reach you. Otherwise great staff and atmosphere! Definitely would recommend!

The room was artistic and comfortable. Very clean, perfect space and amenities for a solo weekend in Christchurch. I arrived after midnight and communication with staff prior to and at the time of check out was easy. Right at the start of High Street, the mall was a few steps away, as was the options of food and supermarket. This was the perfect location to walk around town. It was awesome that they had a cafe attached, and the rooftop bar was nice to spend time in the afternoon. Would definitely stay here again.
