Well set in the centre of Christchurch, Drifter Christchurch provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. The accommodation offers entertainment staff and a 24-hour front desk. Many things, but worth to hightlight: - Comfortable bed, the way the beds were build makes them more solid, and upper bed doesn't affect lower bed. - Many and big "living rooms" with sofa or stations to work. - Best: Normal shower which the shower head is not fixed on the wall.
