About this place Garden Hotel

Garden Hotel is at 110 Marshland Road, about 10 minutes' drive from Christchurch's city centre. It's billed as gay-friendly, but don't expect a specifically LGBTQ+ hotel - that's not what it is. The hotel's website is actually for a place in Greece, which makes you wonder about the accuracy of the rest of the listing. Check the details directly before booking. You'll need a car or taxi to get to Christchurch's small LGBTQ+ scene from here, since it's all centred in the central city.

The location is about a 15-minute drive from River Market, which is convenient. The environment is quiet and the room is clean, but the cooking utensils are too dirty to cook with.

The staff member on could not describe what the difference were in the rooms verbally to my friends who were considering upgrading. Come to reception and we can discuss the charges. There was no sparkling wine when I enquired about the type of pinot gris was it dry or sweet she couldn't tell me and just kept saying so do you want a glass. We were the only ones in the cafe. Friends also claimed rooms very small and the two views were either over a car park or over a construction site. When they said why weren't they advised this, the response was not hotel responsibility its third parties responsibility to do so. I will never recommend this hotel or cafe to anyone coming to chch.
