Recommended Trip type: Business "A Very Nice Property"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Mar 17, 2009

I enjoyed my stay at the Millennium Hotel, though I probably wouldn't pay to stay there myself. I was there on business and it is well suited for the business traveler. If you can get over the high speed internet charges (everywhere in NZ), you will have a fine stay. Right in the center of town on the square, you are in the middle of everything. (Don't complain about homeless people in the square... that's just Christchurch.) In particular, we were impressed with the food and didn't see much reason to eat anywhere else. There is also a nice bar/lounge that has live jazz on the weekends. It's a bit pricey, but if you're on the company dollar, go for it.

central location but Christchurch was a slight disappointment. The city needs some spiffing up--homeless congregate in Cathedral Square, etc.Did not feel safe walking in the city at night. Lots of questionable characters walking the streets at night.Did find some excellent reswtaurants and enjoyed the museums.
