We stayed at Colombo in the City when visiting friends in Christchurch and had a very comfortable stay. The motels are close to the (closed) CBD but are still in a great location with the rest of Christchurch being easily reached by car or taxi if you are heading out for a few drinks, with plent of amenities and bars...

What a great way to kick off our holiday in NZ. We arrived at Colombo in the City and were very pleased with our choice. We enjoyed friendly service from the staff as well as a really comfortable and modern two-storey apartment to spend the night in. The kitchenette was stocked with quality tea, coffee and biscuits (all complimentary) and... More

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite which was okay but smaller than expected. Nice LCD tv's in each room, but over powering air freshener used which I think may be a problem for some asthmatics. Bed v. comfortable and linen of high quality. Slightly noisy area, but sound did not seem to permeate our room and we slept well.... More

Spacious, well equipped room. Loved the jacuzzi bath! Owners exceptionally helpful - they even provided free of charge DVDs - and a beer while we waited a while for transport - it doesn't get any better than this. More

Made to feel very welcome in arrival. Went out of their way to explain how best to get around with the current red zone restrictions. Rooms were modern and exceptionally clean. Set back from the road and very quiet. Comfortable bed. All facilities that you could require. Bathroom clean and good water pressure. Great kitchenette well stocked with hot drinks.... More

The room was spacious and everything in it was first rate - but the outstanding memory of our 3-night stay is of the careful, thoughtful and personal hospitality which Russell and Henri offerred so readily in helping us to deal with a medical problem. They could not have done more. More

We had a pleasant one night stay here, although our room being a corner one was rather dark. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. Ours was probably one of their smaller rooms and did not have a settee like some did, but all the furnishings are of high quality with very comfortable beds. Wi-fi did not work in our... More

We stayed recently at Colombo in the city, the accomodation is truly five star well furnished with everything you need. Conveinently located to the City, Russel and Henri are excelent hosts and nothing is a problem. We had the unfortunate luck to have our wing mirror broken off when were parked in the city. We collected all the bits on... More

I love this motel. I come to Christchurch about once a month and if I have to stay somewhere else it's never as good. Henri and Russell are lovely and caring. The place is spotless, the toiletries are lovely, the cookies, mints, and chocolate in the room is a lovely touch for a wee snack. Rooms large and tastefully decorated.... More
