175 Metropolitan Executive Motel on Riccarton

Everything about this accommodation was amazing. Check in was quick and efficient with a little welcome package of soft drink, milk and beer and greeted by Marco and his beautiful little dog. The room is clean and comfortable with the softest of softest sheets and an awesome triangle bath. With a little kitchenette. Westfield shopping centre and shops are a short walk up the road and public transport is easy to get around. Getting the bus to the accommodation is easy and cheap. It’s also not too far a walk from the city.

Dog accompanies the staff most of the time. Some people may be allergic to the pets which need to be avoided.

We had booked a 2 bedroom exwcutive apartment for a family of 4. When asked Marco ( the property manager) whether there was any road noise, he suggested (and offered) that we stay in a 2 bedroom townhouse as it was very quiet and away from traffix noise. We accepted the townhouse as we didnt want any noise during the nighttime. Overall it was a comfortable stay. The townhouse is older than I expected and compared to the apartment that I originally booked. Beds were comfortable, but felt like some of the edge springs might have been broken as there was no support if layed on the edge, otherwise very comfortable and clean. Shower had a very low disappoiting pressure and was also leaking a bit, otherwise clean shower box. TVs need upgrading as they seem to be too old and very dim to enjoy anything. Curtains and drape need a refresh too. Also would suggest one additonal mirror somewhere other than bathroom. This could be a life saver when travelling with 3 girls.

Excellent five nights stay, very attentive owner Marco who looked after us well. Friendly dog, Skittle, was a hit with our two young children. Spa bath was a bonus! Would stay again.

Excellent. Couldn’t fault it. Great, personal service, very clean.. worth all the great reviews!

Good location

Great location, very conveniently placed next to Westfield with lots of options for food!

Liked the complimentary beverages and overall stay was good for price. Spa needs upgraded didn’t really work and skirting boards behind bedside table were very dusty when pulled out to plug in phone charger 🙂

Made you feel very welcome and great service with a smile. Many high end Hotels could learn from Marco.

The manager Marco was very helpful and went out of the way during checking. Communicated via messages to see if anything was needed. Stayed for 4 nites with family. We felt the quiet apartment was a home away from home with all amenities. Close to mall and convenient for shopping and restaurants. Will recommend anyone to stay here . Will definitely return. D.

This property is so close to the Riccarton Mall and check-in was easy and quick.

Always enjoy my stays here. Great comfy beds, friendly service, and clean rooms.

The service here has been great for years. I've been staying at this motel for around 14 years now, and it's in a fantastic location, just a couple of minutes walk to the Mall and surrounding restaurants. The room size is good and the staff have always been very helpful if I need to leave things securely with them to go shopping after check out

Very good size, roomy and spacious for a group of 4 adults. Well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it was very clean and comfortable. With the windows closed the unit was very well insulated and we couldn't hear traffic noise, which was great. The property is starting to show its age however was impeccably clean.

Lovely hosts. Very clean

The wee courtyard and convenient parking were fantastic for our needs.

Walking distances to supermarket and Westfield shopping mall. The staff was quite helpful.

Nice tidy motel easy walk to Riccarton Mall - no complaints

Very clean Motel and only about 2 minutes walk to Westfield.
