    Highly recommended. Very quiet even with live music and the rugby in the bar. extended our stay to three nights bc we were so comfortable. Meals are recommended and the staff treat you like a guest in their own home. Massive thank you Brooke and Noah ❤️

    Loved the Hotel, Better than staying at my Mothers, It's a Better beer at the Grouse lol, Was there for 8 days, I had a car, but left in on the hotel carpark most of the time, Bus stop out side the hotel door, $4 into Christchurch Transit centre, From there you can get to anywhere.

    Great quiz night, great food, good wifi, did think it was overpriced for the room, no fresh milk, nothing fancy

    7PhilPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Convenient location for our purposes.

    Some bar/music noise but it was a Saturday night so not completely unexpected and it was reasonably muffled.

    2JanePosted on: 3-10-2025

    The bed was comfortable.

    We checked in but didn’t stay the night because the karaoke that started in the bar downstairs was horrendously noisy and prevented us getting to sleep. When we booked we were not warned about the noise. We did get a refund after phoning them a day later (they initially paid this to the wrong guest as they had put us in the wrong room.)

    Great location, last minute decision to stay ahead of Selwyn Sounds

    Forgot how noisey staying above a pub on a Friday night could be - that’s just me getting old though ?

    7AndreaPosted on: 2-23-2025

    No breakfast until 1000 and then only big breakfast options

    Not the hotel's fault [I assume] but a fire evacuation at about 2100 didn't help.

    7CorsonPosted on: 1-26-2025

    Clean and comfortable - perfect for one night when we were attending a function at the hotel.

    8BrettPosted on: 1-24-2025

    Good locationStaff in the bar were really helpful. Georgia (I think that her name) was great

    Regular making beds and restocking tea/coffee supplies. Was a bit poor.

    9KirstyPosted on: 12-26-2024

    Perfect location for our concert nearby. Clean and comfortable room and suited us great. Thank you!

    9CathPosted on: 12-10-2024

    It has a great central location, easy to find with friendly helpful staff, and the roast dinners are legendary!

    9SarahPosted on: 12-7-2024

    Room was comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location, was a bit worried about noise from the bar but the double glazing was great and the bar didn't stay open really late.

    Us Wellingtonians found it quite hot overnight, fan was great but A/C would be nice.

    Handy Location

    The lighting in my room was poor. The two bedside lamps didnt work at all. The room lights were insufficient for night time reading. Staff appeared to be confused about how long I was staying, had trouble providing access to my room at the start, and somehow access was denied about half way through the stay. Difficult to find staff to help.

    TV didn't work, very heavy bathroom door, light not working.

    Every Thing, I Liked where the Grouse Hotel was (Lincoln, great little town, Bus stop right outside the door, jump on to Christchurch Central, from there you can get a bus to anywhere you want.

    I had to Leave, when holiday finest.

    8TerencePosted on: 10-29-2024

    The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable, and the shower was excellent.

    The only minor issue was the need to carry bags some distance from the hotel carpark. However, there was a public carpark close to the entrance that could be used for the purpose.

    10SandraPosted on: 10-14-2024

    very clean and tidy staff very friendly and helpful.
