Great value for money in the heart of the town. Beautifully decorated and well turned out room. Very comfortable bed and great shower. Breakfast was excellent with ample choices of either cooked or continental. Parking was easy across the road from the hotel in a dedicated parking area. Great to walk out and see the sights, minutes from the abbey and quayside. Lots of bars and restaurants close by. The hotel offers you discounts at other local establishments if you choose to eat there. Very much enjoyed the stay!

This was our third stay at the Kings arms in Christchurch, and another enjoyable experience. The Hotel is ideally located in the town and a short walk from the quay. The staff at check in and the restaurant are always friendly and helpful. The rooms vary in size depending on the type booked, but those we have stayed in have always been clean and well appointed. Nice little touches include a fridge with complimentary bottled water, fresh milk and biscuits. Breakfast is outstanding and there is ample free Hotel parking. We have stayed in other Hotels in Christchurch over the years, but The Kings arms is the nicest all things considered.
