Comfortable and nicely located.
It's a shame the restaurant doesn't open in the evening, but there are plenty of excellent choices to eat nearby.

We had our wedding at The Kings Arms in May and it was BEAUTIFUL! Gorgeous location, decor and rooms. Really affordable offering food and drinks packages.
Shout of to Chamane events manager, she was fantastic a real credit to The Kings Arms. Chamane was on hand the whole way through the process and communication was excellent.
Day of organiser Megan was also fabulous making sure everything ran smooth and being on hand all day to action any requests.
Bar staff for our private bar were friendly and hard working.
Thank you for making our dream dY come true ?

A stylish and spacious hotel with really attentive (but not overbearing) staff (Rahul was excellent) in an excellent location. We stayed over on a Sunday night, parked at the rear of the hotel and were given a decent size classic king room on the second floor, with a bath tub and a good bed. The room was comfortable, had all the usual facilities including a coffee machine, and had fairly modern decor. The main spaces are decorated beautifully - especially the bar / dining area. The location is ideal, in the centre of Christchurch, and next to the river. We hope to stay again!

I photographed a wedding here in May 2025, and it is amazing inside and out. First time back after the big refurb, as I have photographed here many times before, it is as awesome as ever. I can't wait for the next visit. Tim

Very comfortable with recent upgrades - high quality rooms, bar and public areas. Parking included and close to everything in this very pleasant town - walk to the waterfront for boating and good food.

Lunch on Easter Sunday was pretty dreadful. We live around the corner and have been frequent patrons over the years. My wife's main course was a burger which turned out to be so dry and tasteless that it was left. It was agreed would not be charged. The only fish option on the Mains was Fish and Chips , so I had two starter courses, one of which was parsimonious. Our friend's Pork Roast was tough, so the service charge was removed. Our friend too was seated next to the passage to the other tables and he constantly felt aware of the waiter traffic passing close behind him. The dining room is a squash, and the previous one, now a Bar, has plenty of space for tables as it did before. We are very reluctant to return.

Room 301:
When we arrived the bathroom door would not shut but the next day it was repaired. The door handle was broken luckily the receptionist had a screwdriver and my husband repaired it.
The shower had no instructions and it was far too hot! Be very careful.
No instructions on how to use the coffee machine - I had to Google it!
No instructions for the air-conditioning.
The windows do not open not even in the bathroom.
The lift is tiny just enough room for two.
The wardrobe is in the large shower room.
The coffee machine is on the dressing table/desk and the cups, sugar etc are in the wardrobe! Why?
The TV is too low to watch whilst in bed.
The parking across the road is awful because the road is very busy. We parked around the back but everytime we went out or returned home we had to inform the staff to open the back gates. One evening on a Friday at 10pm I rang 5 times before anyone answered the phone. They need a different system.
They did offer to move us for one night but I was far too tired.
We were given a complimentary drink.
The staff are lovely.
It was very clean.
It is in a great location.
We were NOT told, when I booked the room that their restaurant was closed for evening meals because of various wedding bookings.
The room is right beside the lift which is noisy.
The bed/pillows were very comfortable.
The one thing I have learnt from this experience is NOT to accept a complimentary drink but ask for money off the final bill.
