This place was clean, quiet and comfy. We didn't like the step, narrow stairwell to drag our suitcases. Once in the 2nd floor living, kitchen and dining rooms, you have to climb another set of stairs to the bedrooms & bathroom.

There were three friends sharing the space. There was lots of room. The rooms were very nice and clean but we were close to a busy street and it was very noisy.

We stayed here in 2016, 2023 and now 2025.
I can not say enough about their efforts to make our stays the best experiences we had during our traveling around South Island.

Dated, but comfortable and good service
I appreciated the friendly welcome at reception very much - and was also delighted that I got upgraded from a studio to a 1 bed unit. The units are showing their age, but everything was clean and tidy - plus the bed was very comfortable.

The Bella vista had everything you could want for a stay in Christchurch.
Bed was comfortable and clean. Room serviced daily.
Ironing board and iron, fan for hot nights, microwave and fully stocked kitchenette.
Was just a little tired in decor but we had a very comfortable stay and really had not one thing to complain about.

I like Bella Visa hotels
Last night in New Zealand 5th Bella Visa hotels, this one was a lot smaller than the other hotels, but it was clean & tidy and the Lady on
Reception was very helpful and booked us a taxi, which we thought was very kind
