Hotel Ascend Collection a Christchurch

I stayed at Ramada Suites in Christchurch for two weeks in August whilst working at the Medical School. The location is excellent, easy walking distance to the CBD and services. The room was very clean and serviced daily. There was a fully equipped kitchenette, and washing machine and drier. The staff could not have been more accommodating.

設施：設施很齊全，有洗衣機和烘乾機，在這洗了好多衣服。一共三張床，兩個洗手間，配備了廚房用品，可以做飯。 衞生：很乾凈，配備了很多浴巾，雖然是老建築但是很乾凈。 環境：周邊特別方便，我們在希爾頓住了兩天轉過來的，傳統酒店更適合家庭入住，希爾頓太小了。而且我們在希爾頓入住第二天早餐費用還收多了，發了郵件也沒回。 服務：服務很好，有代客泊車服務，停車費每天25紐元。就是酒店前台很難找，一樓餐廳旁邊，開始以為是餐廳，歷史建築受保護，前台都不讓掛牌子，很多客人找不到，我們也是繞了一圈還是問了旁邊餐廳服務員才找到了。圖一是酒店入口，辦理入住是在進門後右手邊。

Super comfortable bed with lovely linen, kitchenette with great fridge, room was serviced and the room placement was spot on. Swimming pool, nah, its not much larger than a plunge pool but I enjoyed it on a balmy ChCh night so thats got to be good. Great location and value so you have to forgive the average shower and stains on the bathroom ceiling... Looking for value in ChCh, dont think you could beat this!

Excellent location! So close to everything in the city centre, we used the valet parking service and didnt take the car out once!, we could easily walk everywhere. We stayed 3 nights in a 1 bedroom suite, which was nice and clean, well appointed, and with a super comfy bed. They even had a wee sewing kit and a toothbrush kit, which are definitely things we've needed on our travels! Facilities in the hotel were great and staff were very friendly and attentive. Quintin from concierge was so helpful, and helped make our stay extra special by organizing wine and platters and delivering balloons to our room for our arrival :) Breakfast was also really yummy. Thank you Fable Christchurch! We really enjoyed our stay :)

I stayed at this hotel again principally because it is an Accor property in the CBD (as I am an ALL Platinum) - but that is really about it. The hotel is passable for what one expects of a Novotel, but it is getting quite dated and the carpet stains in the room are too pointed a reminder of the hotel's age. The bed is soft and the generous number of pillows and cushions make for a very comfy night in. While it is in the CBD, it is a fair walk from most places of note in the city. Since my previous visit, the reception staff have improved in service and manner. I was disappointed that as I left a shirt in my room's cupboard, I had to call a few times to follow up on its search as the promised return call did not come until I called again (the shirt was never found). What is most disappointing is the restaurant. While the quality of the food is acceptable, it is quite overpriced for Christchurch and the restaurant's setting. Despite only having a handful of tables for dinner, I had to approach the wait staff when I wanted a table, to order, get a drink, or receive the check. Similarly, the bar staff are not as proactive as one may expect to come to tables and take drink orders, even when one is the only patron at the bar. My biggest complaint is the breakfast. On one of the mornings I even had to set my own table. Empty juice dispensers are not refilled for quite some time; the only eggs served are scrambled, the only non-meat ”hot” offering are potatoes and beans. Perhaps there is is a concern that some patrons are allergic to tomatoes, green leaves, salad, vegetables, and mushrooms? After two nights I moved to another hotel in Christchurch and am much happier.

Accomodation is in a great location. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Second time staying, last visit was 5 years ago. This time we stayed with our 2 young children. Advertised as having ‘air-conditioning’ which one would assume was heating. There was nothing like an air-conditioning unit in our 2 bedroom apartment. A small fan heater plugged into the wall was all. Not ideal with small children. Dangerous and also our apartment was freezing - especially being June. Thankfully beds were warm and comfortable and an extra blanket was provided for both bedrooms. Door to bedroom 2 was locked with a key from the outside. Which meant we had to call reception after one of us shut the bedroom door and couldn’t get back in. Staff attended immediately which was great, they were able to unlock the door however door knob was jammed which meant you could not shut the bedroom door or you would be locked in or out again. Had to place a bag at the door to ensure it wouldn’t be shut. Otherwise it’s a convenient place to stay. If you care about aesthetics it’s a little dated and bathroom grout is a bit mouldy.

Le camere sono decente, hanno una microonde e una caldaia con una selezione di tè e caffè. Le camere hanno anche la TV celeste con una buona gamma di canali. Molto utile se si desidera visitare il centro commerciale Riccarton Westfield o se si sta viaggiando sulla Trans Alpine.
