Hotel So was certainly unique - the smallest hotel room I've ever seen, but the storage facilities were quite clever. The bed was really comfortable and air con was appropriate. The mood lighting could make for some fun! Sky TV and free email access were bonuses. A bit more space and quieter foyer area would improve the experience, but this is still a hotel I'd recommend. Great central location and reasonable price!

room is small by U.S. standards,but quite adequate. Suggest strongly that little things like soap/shampoo etc. be available. Mood lighting was nice but brightness control would help. Shower was great but could be larger even for those of us that are of average size (5'10",170 lbs) and better for a twosome! Outside noises from a too loud local disco were biggest problem at 2 in the morning! Maybe whitenoise generator would help. Great hotel idea that only needs a little polish. Service was good, food was very good.

The size of our room was far to small for two adults. The bathroom had no room for dressing meaning you had to move onto the carpet to get dressed. The room had a claustrophic feeling with no windows.
I like an ironing board in my room rather that having to take ironing to an ironing room. More hanging space is also needed for leisure.
I would recommend this hotel for business travellers rather than leisure.
The staff certainly were very friendly and helpful.

La camera era abbastanza sporca e presentava segni evidenti del precedente cliente. Per il resto l`hotel è gradevole, con la possibilità di connetersi ad internet anche wireless.

The hotel is very well located close to the centre of Christchurch.
The staff were courteous and helpful on check-in and departure.
We had one of the inside rooms i.e. no windows but adequate ventilation/air conditioning. The room is very small with access to the bed from only one side. Luggage needs to be stored under the bed - particularly with 2 people sharing.
We didn't eat in the hotel.
One of the more interesting aspects is the mood lighting with gradual "sunrise" wake-up lighting for a gentle wake-up call ( and "sundown" lighting to lull you to sleep).
All in all - an experience!

ONLY COMPLAINT WE HAVE IS WITH THE SIZE OF STANDARD ROOM. NOT SUITABLE FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE - WHEN WE BOOKED WE DID NOT KNOW THAT THE BED WAS UP AGAINST THE WALL, VERY AWKWARD FOR PEOPLE HAVING TO GET UP DURING THE NIGHT CLIMBING OVER ONE ANOTHER.
SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ADVISE3D THAT STANDARD ROOMS ARE REALLY ONLY FOR SHORT TERM VISITS AND NOT ELDERLY FOLK.
NEXT TIME IF BOOKING WITH THE hOtEL SO WE WOULD DEFINITELY WANT A LARGER ROOM. OTHERWISE EVERYTHING ELSE Was first class, the staff very polite and helpful.
Thanking you....FRANCES PETRICEVIC.

I stayed at Hotel SO in Christchurch on both Feb 20 and 28, and had a very positive experience both times. I had researched the hotel, so knew that it was a new, modern, "stylish" hotel, but with small and compact rooms. This suited my needs just fine, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in.

The hotel amenities like free internet were great, and the ambiance and service were very good as well. If the room size works for your situation, I would highly recommend Hotel SO; a unique and very economical place to stay.

The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean and tidy.
However noise from outside sources was a problem for us and light streaming through the window early in the morning was not at all welcome, we could not rectify this even with the shades drawn.

The hotel is located to all of Christchurch's amenities and the shopping district, coming from a rural background this was not important to us as it would be to City Slickers.

The whole ambience of the hotel was unusual but this was done to achieve relaxation for the guests. The hotel would be ideal for people travelling for business purposes.
