Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Rooms are old and tired, mouldy curtain, broken and mouldy tiles in bathroom, shower tap plate coming off wall - this is NOT 4-star. AND BEWARE as they sting you for the full amount at check-in ($400 for a studio), $40 for a carpark a $250 bond - I've only ever handed over my credit card for a hotel to take an imprint, so I was annoyed about this. No signage in lobby to suggest it is the Chancellor. Location is good, proximity to the city is good, but this is not an intl standard 4-star - more like 3 star at most.

Liked: Cleanliness
The best thing about the hotel is the location. The room was clean but tatty (scuff marks on walls, crack down front of dishwasher, full ashtray out on balcony table). To get into the gym or parking you have to go to reception and ask someone to let you through, I recommend not doing this near check in/ check out time as with one staff member and a long queue you will wait a while.

The staff are as always brilliant to deal with, we are regulars you see so already know them by name too. The room we stayed in 205 is in need of refurbishing. The walls are getting grubby, the carpet is very frayed at the edges especially by the kitchen. The touch lamp on the rhs of the bed does not work properly. I like that there are handrails by the bath. Also, the pool,spa and sauna is always a big plus for us. Cheers Marge and Sid

The hotel was in easy walking distance to the Viaduct and the Britomart area, so handy to shops and the business district. The room was of a good size, the bed was comfortable and the shower had excellent pressure. Room rate was competitive. Would stay again.

Everything was good except the bathroom was not a good standard. On checkout I advised the receptionist that that bath had several chips in the bottom and also outside the bath the skirting board looked mouldy. Also the floor looked like it had water damage. The receptionist noted my concern so I hope the necessary action to tidy it up has been taken/

Helpful staff
Staff were really helpful, the heating stopped working in my room and I had 2 people come to look at it and eventually got it fixed, they also brought me a portable heater! the tv remote wasn’t working great after they gave me new batteries which didn’t make a difference so they gave me a new remote! House keeping were great asked me everyday if I needed my room making up or if I needed anything topped up, fresh towels daily, more than accommodating! Highly recommend amazing location and great price!
