    This is our regular accommodation when in Christchurch, always easy to park, central but mostly we just love the room as they are always clean and modern. Staff are also friendly and accommodating. Nothing. Everything is great.

    Very friendly staff, offered milk and extra coffees, and information on getting around the city. Christchurch is a big city to us, this hotel worked for what we wanted to do.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The layout was functional and felt spacious. It was modern and clean. The location was good - we had a car so we didn't need to be in the heart of the city. We knew there could be stairs - so it wasn't unexpected but I had forgotten how hard it is to lug 2 x 20KG bags up stairs! So just be prepared.

    Location to train station. Nothing

    Facilities good but would benefit from some updating. No food onsite.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    The motel was quiet, clean and comfortable, walking distance to local shops and restaurants, and importantly for us to the Christchurch train station. We caught both the Tranzalpine and Coastal Pacific trains while we were there without any difficulty. The reception and cleaning staff were lovely and very helpful. The kitchenette had everything that we needed, so that we were able to cater for ourselves if we felt like it.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Very good location, walking distance to train station, large shopping mall and restaurants. The hotel was neat, comfortable and tastefully furnished, equipped with everything we needed, including a large kitchenette. The staff members were very helpful and welcoming. It was quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Very kind staff, very comfortable room, extremely close to the train station.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Our stay at the Golden Rule in Christchurch was excellent. The room was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a short stopover. We arrived after midnight, and the staff were incredibly accommodating — they arranged for self entry into our room, which made our late arrival completely stress-free. They also kindly allowed us a slightly later checkout, which was very much appreciated. The location was convenient, within easy walking distance of a mall for snacks and breakfast. The price was very reasonable for our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a simple, clean, and well-managed place to stay in Christchurch.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Very clean, nice staff. Parking was tight with few spaces. One washer and one dryer made it tough to do laundry.
