The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and had a lot of local information. It was great to have a kitchen, which had everything you need, to make your own food. Very easy transport links (bus stop right outside the hotel) and a good location; out of the city but close enough to walk in or catch a short bus ride. Very cheap accommodation, very good value for money - I would highly recommend this hotel.

Bar below is fine for a drink, darts, and dirty looks. The room is uninhabitable, unless you like dirt, grime, and foreign chemical and biological substances on your surfaces. The place is old to begin with, but not kept up and dangerous. If you have children definitely look elsewhere.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was okay. The hosts were nice and courteous, the room was clean and the bed was comfy. I think it should be mentioned that there will be loud music/karaoke almost every night as couldn’t sleep until after 11pm most nights, also there’s no glass in the window of the toilet so it’s pretty cold when you need to go, but can’t complain too much as it was very affordable to stay.

Viviana

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were not shown where the facilities were, as the staff only quickly tidied the room upon our arrival. We arrived at 5:00 pm, so there had been sufficient time to have the room properly prepared in advance. It also appeared that the sheets had not been changed, and we were only provided with a couple of towels at that time. In addition, the common areas had a strong cigarette smell, which made the environment uncomfortable. Although we had already paid for the stay, we decided not to remain due to these issues and concerns about safety. Unfortunately, the staff did not make any effort to address our concerns or offer a solution. Overall, the experience was very disappointing.

Great value for money. It's low budget accomodation similar to a private room in a hostel/backpackers. The rooms look to have been recently refurbished and are spacious with comfortable beds. You can walk into the city center in about 30-40 minutes, and there's ample off-street parking making it a good base to explore Christchurch from. Staff very friendly and accommodating

We were so pleasantly surprised by our stay at The Black Horse!! Looks way nicer than the pictures and has such a lovely character. The rooms have all been recently renovated and we even got a sunny window which was nice to read your book in. Also there is a kitchen! So you can totally cook your own meals just like in a hostel. Such value for money!! Would so stay here again, thank you MJ for hosting us :)

Yikes...gross

This is basically a dive bar with hostel-style rooms on the second floor. Lots of loud highway traffic, generally seems to be in disrepair, and the bedspread had obvious stains on it (see photo). Definitely stay away.
