This property is not about 5-10 minutes walk away from the city center which suits some people who doesn't like crowd. The staff are friendly and helpful. This property offers a laundry room where guests can use. One thing that bother me is my room is facing the street, since the windows of my room can be opened, the sound proof of it is a bit off. I was waken up every morning around 6am because a truck was parked downstairs and was doing some operations which causes lots of noise.

Site great, Service depends on who, food NO!
I arrived at the hotel 6 hours before check in - I utilized the bag drop service; and the reception offered to put my room on the priority list for housekeeping and would call me once it was done to allow an early check in (great offer!) - So I went for a walk for a coffee (C1 in the area) - then around the sights - until approximately 14:00 - asked for an update and my bag (needed something out of it) - and was advised it wasn't ready yet; and it could be put on the priority list! I advised I was told this, the reception took a moment then had a room for me. Annoying, failure one. The hotel was quiet, tidy, comfortable and in high quality the room perfect, bathroom great, hot water solid pressure and heat, AC/heating in the room; fresh air option (windows), usual amenities - however empty minibar! with a sign that i could only call to the room service but it wasn't 24/7 - lost opportunity there! - issue 2. First evening had a dinner at the resturant on site - 15 of us Bloody Mary's the waitress (American lady, on her birthday was AMAZING; attentive, engaging with the table and kept us all with full drinks and clearing empties etc top tier! The meal however - the steaks, all overcooked from talking to 6 of the table; I ordered the Wagyu Steak (the A5/top tier) expecting high quality preperation for a medium - it came out near well, and definitely wasn't Wagyu - however, the entree (venision pastry dish was top tier; perfectly served) - not enough charaters - TLDR -not ok

Alright place but no thrills.
Beds are comfortable and clean, Quiet area. Basic lighting in the room, no bedside table lamps. Toilet in the bathroom was stained at the water level, this was off putting! Breakfast very basic.

The hotel had introduced paid parking since our last stay, and this wasn't obvious when we booked. We would have chosen a different hotel if we had realised. Its a shame as we have used this hotel several times due to its central location (to Chch overall, not to the city centre) and easy parking. We will just have to choose somewhere else in the future.

The check in went smoothly and the room was good. We had a balcony which was small. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. My major gripe with this hotel was the fact of charging paying hotel guests $20 per day to park on the premises. Not sure how common that is, but ive never struck it before. For visitors, by all means. But for guests, i thiught was a bit much

When we got into our room, we found the toilet was not cleaned at all and we could see disgusting stains on the seat also some hair on the towels. Asked room service to clean and the lady who came for cleaning was very nice and cleaned all the toilet area and changed the towels. The reception was not helpful even during the check in didn't give us any advise on the parking area and that we needed to pay for the daily park there. Location was good and just walk to the centre.

We’ve had enjoyable stays at Rydges Latimer Square on numerous occasions but this time felt disappointed in the condition of the room. The room had sparse amenities, and low quality, thin towels and pillows. The carpet had also noticeable stains. Of particular disappointment was the quality of the mattress - both my partner and I found it very uncomfortable and had poor sleep as a result.
