Hotel with a twist

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel So. From the second we walked in t the second we checked out. My initial reaction on entry to the foyer was that we had walked into some ultra modern nightclub, so was about to turn around and go back outside... Instantly the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room order was mucked up a little bit so we were upgraded to the next size up free of charge which was great. On entry to the room, we were nicely surprised by the modern styling and neat little gadgets and touches that we saw. It reminded me of a room I would imagine in a futuristic space station, or a large Japanese tube hotel... The Large, wall mounted widescreen LCD television was a pleasure to use compared to the cheapo CRT ones in most other mid ranged hotels we had ever stayed in. We used the gym and Apple computers in the guest lounge, (Free internet which was another pleasant surprise). Food and service was excelent also. I have stayed in other hotels that were a bit more practical as this room put syle a bit ahead of practicality in some ways, but hey, who cares when the overall experience was so cool !!!! We are definitely staying there again when we get back to ChCh.

excellent place to stay - a little weird not having windows in the room, but overall a really enjoyable experience and would certainly stay again at Hotel SO. loved the cool lights in the bathroom area, loved the cams to check if there was a computer free or the bar was busy, loved the free internet access and great lounge area on level two the virtual concierge service helped us many times and the staff were awesome!! the hotel location was great - walking distances to all the good things about christchurch, including the bus terminal the beds were the best i had slept in during my nz holiday!! soooo comfy! I will definately stay at hotel so again!! can you open up more in different countries so i can stay there too?!

Hi, Thank you for the great stay, was pleasant, service was of an excellent level, all of your staff are to be commended and the way you run your Hotel aswell as it is very rare these days to receive such a great place to stay and relax in. I have highly recommended this Hotel to stay in to anyone that is heading to Christchurch, perhaps you would consider opening one in Auckland, you would do awesome things up here! Cheers Pamela
Unique Concept
Loved the space saving concept as well as the eco friendly environment. Would definitely recommend it
First visit to Christchurch
Absolutely wonderful. Would highly recommend. Close to everything. Beds very comfortable and staff extremely helpful.
My perfect hotel
Wicked hotel, exactly what my partner and I need, we are past staying in back packers, too poor to stay in flash hotels and sick of joining the retirement folk on bus tours in the three stars. We were glad we were there for two night so we could fully experience all the mod cons in the rooms, lots to play with, especially loved Mood TV. Just a small gripe, the windows need to be double glazed, we were on the 6th floor but were still bombarded by the crap 80's tunes blaring from the 3 neighboring bars. Either that or give us free ear plugs. We noticed the hotel uses Mac computers, we also have a macbook but were unable to plug the charger into the socket on the desk, you just need to turn the socket sideways so the overside apple charger can get in. (like on the bedside table). We travel a lot and cant wait till there are more SO's. Have been recommending it to all our friends.
The staff were very knowledgeable, helpful, cheerful and pleasant. The room, although small, had excellent features. We especially liked the mood loghting in the bathroom. The hotel's location was central and convenient and the deal with the nearby car park proved useful. The only negative aspect I can think of was that the noise made by revellers outside carried through into the room quite clearly. Unless the hotel double glazes its windows I don't know there is a lot that can be done about the noise factor. Thank you for a most pleasant stay. My girlfriend rates Hotel So as the best room of the entire holiday. Regards Chris
In my opinion...
Hotel So is perfect for business people wanting to stay in the heart of Christchurch. Rooms are compact admitantly, but very user friendly, tidy and provided totally to our needs. Only criticism would be the difficulty we had getting luggage into the carpark next door, during those hours when the car park was not open to the public. I am happy to recommend Hotel So to friends and associates. Tony.
A good time
We really enjoyed our stay at the So. The location was the main reason we chose the hotel and it wasall we expected, we were able to walk to various parts of the city. The only negative thing was the doona, we found it too warm for our liking (we actually removed the doona from the cover and just used the cover). Perhaps lighter alternatives could be offered, especially for people who do not like the air conditioning to be too cold. The restaurant was very good for both breakfast and lunch. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hotel So to others. Lesley Bugden
