★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fresh and Healthy Foods. Great , Friendly Staffs. Enough space with super cozy bedrooms. I am here to complete my 7 days MIQ. I have enough space to exercise, meditate and rejuvenate my body. Thank you Distinction Christchurch and NZ Government. Hoping to be home soon with my wife after completing my MIQ. Stay safe and Stay Healthy ? .

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This review is based on the hotel being a MIQ facility. For reference, this was my 5th time in MIQ.
The queen bed was comfortable, being a fraction on the soft side for me; there were two of them in the room. Out of the 8 pillows, one was a thinner feather and the rest were thicker synthetic; I like thin pillows. They provide you with a bucket and some general cleaning supplies. They also provide you with metal cutlery. All good things, as a lot of places give you bamboo utensils for each meal. Room was pretty clean, however, there was rubbish under the bed which included an apple.
The desk, if you're working, is painfully small at 35-40cm deep, and the Ethernet jack is on the other-side of the room - along with the phone. The inset TV, pivots, but not enough to use as a second monitor and the HDMI inputs were on the opposite side from the desk location. A 3m HDMI cable should be sufficient. Wi-Fi speeds were excellent with 85Mbps down and 105Mbps up. I couldn't get my VPN to connect using my laptop, but I didn't try very hard either; it worked on my phone though. The power-points, while numerous, are all vertically stacked, which was annoying for me.
Food was average and light on the protein. Alternate dietary requirements were handled OK - not great, with offerings being bland. Their system for ordering food is web-based and doesn't have any ability to write anything different - some MIQ places do, they should change this. If you have any dietary requirements, don't assume and call the food and beverage manager on the first day.
Exercise time is by cohort at this MIQ - not all MIQs do this. Times with sun were packed out, so if you want to get a good pace on, often you can't. There are often walk slots at or before 3am which no one uses, so use those. This is still better than a lot of facilities.
Generic room and MIQ hacks. Travel with an AeroPress coffee maker (instant is provided), 8m parachute cord (clothesline) and exercise equipment. On arrival, supermarket delivery clothes washing liquid, hot sauce and coffee. Flip a bed on its side and pin with the other so it doesn't fall. Move furniture around to suit. These mods will give you heaps more space. Bring something like a Leatherman, with a blade and phillips screwdriver.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My family and I are currently staying in the Christchurch Distinction Hotel for our MIQ stay on return to live in NZ. We struck lucky and were given a superior family suite on the top floor. Amazing two bedroom suite, which is almost as big as my old house in NZ. Huge bathroom with beautiful free standing bath tub and separate walk in shower with dual head shower. Nothing is too much trouble when you ring down with a request to reception. The food is wonderful and there is plenty of choice. I'm wishing they could come and cook meals for my family all the time ? Feeling very fortunate and that we have been so well looked after on our return to NZ.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On day 4 of MIQ, and have to say I’ve loved the experience so far. Super spacious luxury hotel room, extremely accommodating staff, excellent quality and quantity of food…I could keep going! The staff really go out of their way to help, making self isolation way better than it could be imagined. I’m sure it will continue to be a great hotel beyond the days of MIQ too. Thank you Distinction Hotel!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely warm welcome at check in, we were able to check in a bit early as our rooms were ready.
The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The TV is bigger than my home TV!
I had the best sleep in the comfy bed.
The restaurant was accomodating.
I can’t wait to stay here again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just arrived home from a 2 night work trip stay and there is only one word for this hotel, AMAZING! The staff are incredible, so friendly and funny. The rooms are great and spacious and it’s in a fantastic location. But the best thing for me was the amazing seafood chowder I had for dinner, wow! I’ve had a lot of seafood chowders in my time and I struggle to remember a better one. Thanks all, I hope to see you again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Even though we were in MIQ (which wasn't always easy) Distcton Christchurch really went above and beyond to help me and my families time go well. They even gave us a lovely platter for our anniversary with a card signed by the staff! They did the same thing for our son's 1st birthday! And the food was excellent!!
