Great stay in Christchurch

Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at the Kings Arms. Fantastic location, right in town centre. Free parking, a big bonus. Friendly staff, welcome drink, fantastic room, air conditioned, comfy bed, lovely bathroom. Will definitely return. Thoroughly recommend.

outstanding

The whole experience was outstanding, not only the expected level of the accomodation and service, but the willingness to help our visit as good as possible, like recomendations of places to visit, where to dine and a host of instances in the small detail that adds to the experence THANKS
Douglas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Happy average

Lovely hotel, room a bit clostrophobic. Shower trap was blocked so did not drain and couldn’t really have a proper shower. Handle fell off bathroom door leaving trapped inside. Light broke above basin. Staff extremely un-attentive over breakfast. I would say average hotel at an expensive hotel price.
Neil, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cancelled by the Hotel

I received a call from the hotel the day after the booking was confirmed via Hotels.com. They told me they were fully booked and the reservation would have to be cancelled.
Rhydian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Newly refurbished in great style, the hotel was a delight in all respects. From a really friendly welcome to a lovely big bedroom (with a great view of the old castle ruins and beautiful Priory church) and an excellent evening meal we were really happy with our choice.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel in central location

Lovely comfortable stay and friendly staff.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

An enjoyable four-night stay. Handsome Georgian building, recently refurbished, right in the centre of town. No garden or outdoor space though, and no car park as such, just some dedicated space at the back of the pavement across the road. Friendly, welcoming staff. Complimentary drink provided. Room rather small, with not much storage, but with aircon and a nice bathroom, with an ingenious nightlight arrangement for nocturnal visits! Nicely cooked breakfast with a reasonable amount of choice (no kippers or black pudding though!). We had trouble getting adequately strong coffee, but got there in the end.
Christopher, 4-night trip

Would recommend

The stay was a lovely relief after a busy day. The room was large and comfortable, however the pillows were very soft. We ate at the hotel with the food being beautifully presented and delicious. Would recommend.

Thank You for a Wonderful Stay and Meeting Space

Dear Kings Arms Team, I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for a truly excellent experience during my recent visit. I stayed the night and hired one of your business spaces the following day - both were absolutely spot on. Your team, though new, were exceptional throughout. Every member of staff was warm, helpful, and made the whole experience feel seamless. I travel frequently and stay in many hotels, but I can honestly say The Kings Arms stands out as one of the best I’ve come across. You’ve created an environment that feels both professional and welcoming - I felt completely at home. Thank you once again. I look forward to visiting again soon. Warm regards, Richard Frazer
