We were staying in another Christchurch hotel which was about a 15 minute walk away. The Mayfair is a little off from the CBD but walkable. Because it was my birthday, I believe our room was upgraded and we were quite happy with all aspects of the suite, from all goodies to bathrobes to a motion sensor nightlight on the way to the bathroom.

There was nothing not to like. Location is walkable away from CBD but close to park and Botanical Gardens.

The staff were amazing nothing was an issue, they say "The best man for the job is usually a woman!" Well it seams the place is overrun by ladies, but it works the staff were incredible .

As I have been travelling and living in hotels all my working life, I am the first to complain but our stay was almost perfect the only thing I would change is the shower hoses, as they are NOT the old fashion flexible ones but those new hard non kink hoses that argue with you when trying to wash your hair or back . I told you I was picky but that's the only thing I would change if I was the female managing the place!

The staff are fabulous and friendly and go out of their way to get to know you and make sure all is well . Room is very comfortable. Coffee shop/restaurant is very convenient and good. Parking is easy.

1. The bed & pillows was exceptional comfortable. 2. The additional sink and tap together with a microoven in the room itsef (outside the toilet & shower) make it practical and convenient for making our hot drinks and getting our water supply. 3. Individual AC in good working condition which we can control the temperature in the room! 4. Strong shower and quality shower gel and body lotion. 5. The design of the toilet allows me to put my toiletries and make up easily. 6. Room service - food available even early in the morning at 2 AM! Order is just at your finger tip via the hotel's tablet. 7. The hotel restaurant food was so delicious and reasonably price! 8. All reception Staff was courteous, reliable and helpful (especiallly Natasha) who helped booked local Tours and Taxi. The recommendation to take bus to Gondola and sea side at New Brighton were wonderful. The bus stop is just 2 to 3 minutes away from the hotel.

Nothing

This is our second stay at the Mayfair rooms are spacious and clean we upgraded, room was pretty much the same except on the top floor (5) with a balcony and distant views. A short walk to the Casino and not far from the main centre, we ubered to the Riverside Market and walked back along the river. The Majestic Cafe/Restaurant is great although we didn't eat there this time locals highly recommend. With the upgrade we got free snack bar which is replenished daily and barista coffee and tea from the cafe.

We came here on our honeymoon and the staff ramped it up for us. We really didn’t expect anything but they put us up in a suite, gave us welcome drinks and free coffees for the duration of our stay. Besides that, it’s in a great location, they have one of Christchurch’s flagship cafes sitting on the ground floor (Majestic at Mayfair) which is super convenient (food + coffee is great) and you’re sitting across the road from the botanical gardens. Staff are really nice and can provide some tips for local food and experiences

Our room & ensuite was modern, clean & comfortable and the staff were super helpful. We had an issue the first night with a mechanical noise we couldn’t place, so they offered us another room for the duration of our stay (3 nights). The pillow menu was great too. The cafe downstairs - Majestic at Mayfair is really smart and handy for breakfast, an afternoon cuppa or a drink before dinner. It was an easy walk to restaurants, shops and the Botanical Gardens. We also loved Vic’s cafe across the road for breakfast. I’d definitely stay here again.

Absolutely one of our favourite hotels we have stayed at. The staff were so friendly and attentive from the get go. The hotel was stunning. The room was huge and lovely decor. Bed was comfy and bathroom was beautiful. The room service was 5/5 star food. We loved the food so much there that we ended up having all our breakfast there via room service. The coffee was top tear. The hotel surprised us with free drinks and that made us so happy. We honestly loved the hotel so much that we decided to have a little staycation during our holiday and enjoy relaxing at Mayfair. Already wish we could go back. Another great aspect was the tablet in the room which we could order the room service , order things we needed such as extras pillows and info.

Nothing they really out done themselves.

It was a decent location though slightly (15 -20 mins walk) away from the main attractions in Christchurch . We still felt it’s was a good enough location as the walk was quite pleasant . The food options around the location included some happening restaurants and bars including The Goldfinch, You Hanoi Me, and Red Light District. The Majestic Bar and Restaurant in the hotel itself was also very viby with great food options including for vegetarians. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The hotel did not have a separate bell desk and concierge and usually reception was busy so could not help with luggage etc .. so if you expecting full five star frills such as these then this property does not have them. . Given that it is a boutique property with less than the full 5 star frills, the pricing seemed to be a bit on the higher side. However we would stay again so not a deal killer for us

The room was large, comfortable, and clean. That was probably the nicest shower we've had during our travels around New Zealand! The location was nice and quiet, and parking relatively easy.

Our only, single complaint is that my husband is a tallish man, and when he went to pull the bed covers up over his shoulder (as one does when it's chilly outside), the sheet was not long enough to stay tucked in, and so his feet were on the bare mattress cover. Something to think about, as tall people *do* exist. ;)
