We travelled the South Island for two weeks and spent the last three days at the Randolph. It was an excellent place to stay to do our washing and get packed up and ready for home. The room was large and furnishing were comfortable. The kitchenette had a cook top, microwave and fridge. The bathroom had a good shower. We had an upstairs room with a pleasant view. The Randolf is withing walking distance to the Merivale Mall, shops and restaurants.
Not much in the way of TV channels. But we managed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Randolph Motel from the moment we've been welcomed by a friendly host, to beautifully appointed rooms with quality furniture and super comfortable beds. Great location, too! We will definitely return.

we were happy that our request for a ground floor unit was given.
We liked the size of the unit, very spacious. It was all clean & shiny throughout, & very comfortable with everything we needed. It was very quiet, no traffic noise. Close to shops & cafes.
Can't think of anything wrong

This is the best place I have stayed at for years. The chap on the front desk was accommodating and easy to conversate with. After that we were left alone great big room with a nice lock. Safe feeling neighborhood and easy for Uber to get food. We will be using this as our Christchurch Acom going forward I can not rate it highly enougth.
I really cant think of anything.

Love location, the gym. Comfortable room.

We began our trip of 15 days of the South Island with our first stay at the Randolph Motel Apartment and it was perfect in every way. Room arrangement, the size of the room, the bedding, the mattress, bathroom, washer and dryer to use, kitchenette, they thought of everything. It had everything we needed and expected and did not need or wish for more. We did not realize it at the time, but, it set the bar for our expectations for the rest of our South Island trip. I can honestly say that after 10 overnight stays in different hotel, motel, and a B&B, Randolph Motel was the best of them all, including the much more expensive hotel that should have excelled, but didn't. We ended our South Island trip back where we began before we flew out, at the Randolph Motel. It was wonderful being back in a place we knew what was waiting for us, everything we had expected at all the other places we stayed, except the Randolph Motel did not disappoint. We loved it.
What was there not to like? The manager was also a very pleasant nice man.
Thank you for your information!
