The Old Countryhouse Reviews

Wifi was only 50 MB, otherwise, nice.

Only 50 MB wifi. All else was ok.

I felt very welcome at the OCH, especially the staff was amazingly friendly and could answer every single question. I just loved the Beds, they've been sooo comfty and the bathrooms and the nice kitchen been very clean.

The perfect hostel with a nice relaxing atmosphere. The first hostel we stayed at with a sauna and spa pool that was free of charge. You get free wifi and playing with the resident dog was another bonus. Loved the gardens and the tranquil and easy going ambience. Great beds with good mattresses, hot showers and kitchens with good appliances. Very helpful girls at reception. We loved it – Thanks!

This is a styled hostel which is clean and different to anywhere I have stayed before. The rooms are large and the showers clean. It also includes free internet which does not work most of the time. The staff are incredibly helpful.

Lovely place to stay. Really enjoyed the free spa pool and sauna too!! Staff are very friendly and helpful, and there was a great atmosphere in the place. Definitely recommend it!

Lovely hostel near the CBD. It was lovely staying there. Met other backpacker,s very easy. T.V. room was small but nice just to sit there and chill. Very clean. Would go back there again.

What a beatuiful place to stay! That hostel really made it worth staying in Christchurch!

We loved our stay here. Staff are super friendly, the hostel is soooo clean and new. 15-20 minute walk to downtown. Would for sure recommend this place and would love to stay again!!!

A staff don't have enough information about in chch.its German hostel!!

We were greeted by a lady with a very militant approach, who started off the conversation demanding ID off us. After seeing our booked accommodation and realising its unsuitability we tried to cancel our booking, however, she refused to cancel it and stated that we would be charged for both nights (you have to book a minimum of 2 nights). Very inflexible and rude service. With shockingly rigid terms & conditions. Also, location of the hostel is now very poor due to the earthquakes...

Laura and Hilde are among the most able and friendly staff I've come across in six months of travelling. I made a mistake in my booking, and instead of leaving me on the street because they had no dorms, they put me in a private room at no extra cost. Hostel is a beautiful setup - a few kitchens, so it never gets too busy, lounges, a free hot spa, and a nice grassy area in the middle to relax if the NZ sun is shining.

We had a spacious room and everything was very clean. Nice and friendly staff and the hostel is not too big. We really enjoyed our stay there.

clean and quiet place to stay

Nice place. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Nice big kitchen and sitting room areas to use during the day. Good atmosphere within the hostel, not so much outside but that is more a reflection upon the city after the earthquake than the accommodation.

Directly across the road from a supermarket, video rental and Subway restaurant. Lots of character.
