The George

"This superb hotel is probably my favourite place to stay in Christchurch. Perfectly located on a quiet street next to Hagley park, (but still close enough to the city centre action to be convenient) the service at The George is impeccable: friendly, helpful and professional. The bank of EV chargers for both Teslas and standard cars easily makes this one of the best locations in the city to stay. The restaurant has a selection sumptuous dishes on the museum and the rooms are immaculate. Highly recommended!"

"We loved this hotel. Everything about it perhaps with the exception of the shower. (It was perfectly acceptable but wouldn’t win our best shower in hotel competition). Other than that, the hotel was great. We stayed in the Residence, which was quiet and private. We also ate in the restaurant and thought that the food was fine. All of the staff were friendly and polite. It couldn’t have been better."

"Great hotel just on the outskirts of town next to the botanical gardens. Room was really well kept with all the amenities you may want. Turn down was a surprise and well received. Matt on reception was also super helpful with ideas for a walk into Christchurch."

"We recently stayed at the George in Christchurch while touring the South Island. The rooms were lovely, location great, right near the park, and we used the bicycles, free of charge to pedal around this cycle-friendly city. Mostly I'm writing to recognize the wonderful staff at this hotel. They were friendly and helpful from start to finish. Our flight home was delayed 2 days and they made an extra effort to accommodate us. In particular, Charise Martin the Front Office Manager, was always helpful, efficient, kind and smiling. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant!"

"Very sad to be writing, what is, a pretty negative review of our experience at Bistro 50 at The George Hotel. After enjoying many memorable experience over 20 years or more we had a very poor experience in October 22 and gave the Hotel our views in a private email we were assured measures were in place to improve both the food and service. We gave the Restaurant another chance on the 7th December but once again very disappointed. The only positive was the young man who served us, although woefully inexperienced, was very personable and really wanted to help. Food bland at best, green salad requested had to be reminded and on arrival consisted of 2 wilted lettuce leaves far too much dressing and several, what I assume. were pickled walnuts not what I would consider a green salad. Chocolate dessert, whilst it looked fine was very bland. Not sure how that happens. No light, or lower alcohol wine available and staff, over all, seemed lost and with out direction. Knowledge of wines and cocktails very limited. Asked for a whiskey sour staff had no idea and said they would look it up on you tube!!! No longer prepared to visit what was once our very favourite Hotel and Restaurant Rosalie Maxwell"
