Came here to do some work for a few days. Really not a bad stay, I got a large room and it was comfortable and clean. The bed was cozy and the AC worked well. The 20 minute or so stroll into the heart of Christchurch will do you good. I did not partake of the breakfast but it was offered and there was plenty of tea, a hot water kettle, and utensils on offer. The location is a bit north of the center of town, so could be described as out of the way, this might be a perk. The staff was friendly and produced an accurate invoice for work when I checked out. If the Wifi were faster I could see myself staying here again.

    “Was such a nice old time hotel feel while having all mod cons. The lady on the front desk was absolutely lovely and I felt very welcomed and was given directions and recommendations for the city. The bed was unreal. I had one of the best nights sleep I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend The Salisbury”

  • We had a peaceful quiet and comfortable night and appreciated that everything worked well and easily.
