Stayed at the Latimer for 2 nights at the end of a two week holiday around the South Island and would recommend this small hotel. Its not spectacular but great value and great location for exploring Christchurch. Has apparently won a recent award for its renovations (I could pick where their renos had cut a couple of corners like the... more

This is a well located hotel close to the centre of the city, with very good facilities and friendly staff. We had a two bedroom unit which was well equipped with small kitchen (included washer/dryer), bathroom, lounge area and dining table. It has heaps of parking and a relaxed feel. The room was well serviced each day. The restaurant has... more

This is an excellent and recently refurbished hotel. Our room was extremely spacious. The hotel is within a short walking distance of all the main attractions and there is plenty of parking. Make sure you have a map which shows the one way street system in Chistchurch! more

Located 5 minutes walk from central Christchurch, easy to find by car. Hotel is more like a motel with a few additional services. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment, it was clean and had kitchen and laundry facilities, one small bathroom with no bath. The apartment was tiny especially the living area - we have stayed in many apartments recently... more

Stayed for two nights earlier this month as part of a twelve day tour with the company Travelsphere. The rooms were very nice. As we were in the city didn't sample the restaurant during the evening but the breakfast buffet was amongst the best we'd experienced on the holiday. As the main day of the stay was a Sunday, the... more

We were most impressed with our 1 night stay in Latimer Hotel. The staff were courteous and friendly. The room was modern and clean and it was situated on the 3rd floor with view of the latimer park. There was plenty of off-street parking. The $125 included continental breakfast which was very nice. The hotel is probably situated about 1... more

Location is great. 5 minute walk to the city center as others have noted. The hotel has undergone renovations, but not complete renovations, so not all the rooms are pristine with the flat screen TV. I was the recipient of one of the older rooms. The room I booked was a studio type room. It had the basics, a shower,... more

We booked an executive studio room for two nights in Feb 2007, and were fully satisfied with the room, which was large, well furnished and clean. It was not particularly hot whilst we were there, but the room did not have airconditioning, so I do not know what it is like in hot weather. The hotel has free parking, and... more

Based on the previous reviews, I specifically requested a room in the new building. I booked the executive studio. The room is very new, even with the new paint smell. The size of the room is decent, with a loveseat sofa, Jacuzzi, LCD TV, and a small fridge. All the "hardwares" are new and relatively nice, what's lacking may be... more
