A Hotel for Urban Explorers
BreakFree is the ideal hotel for a solo traveler wanting to explore Christchurch. Most attractions are easily within walking distance.
Most of the single rooms are quite small, but functional with exceptionally comfortable beds. This hotel is ideal for the intrepid traveler that wants to explore Christchurch instead of spending a lot of time in the hotel room.
A shout out to the front desk staff who have been professional and gracious during my two stays at this hotel.

Great location rooms small but does the job
Great location right by the city mall
Front desk friendly and efficient
Rooms small and little room for bags suggest a bigger room type foe two people
Would be nice for a bottle opener or one built into the desk
Breakfast buffet small but does the job to start the day
Overall would 100% stay again

OK rooms but no sleep on Friday or Saturday nights
The room was small but functional, a bit tired but clean and well-serviced.
However the hotel it is located next to a bar that has very loud music running very late into the wee small hours on Friday and Saturday nights. Despite earplugs and sleeping with a pillow over my head it was still very loud and annoying.

The hotel was in a nice area which was nice to be able to walk for food and shopping. The room was clean and my girls loved the bunk beds. The bunk beds were extremely squeaky which could wake you yo at night but overall a great stay.
