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. This place is generally an amazing hostel. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable despite sharing it with 7 other people (unfortunately one person was so selfish when I arrived, they put most of their belongings on the floor, barely leaving space for anyone to put their suitcase). My room had a bathroom inside, which was very useful and convenient. It is located very conveniently next to the local bus hub, and within walking distance to most of the inner city attractions. The staff were helpful and easy to find despite most of the guest access were done through an app. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there were 2 vending machines selling a wide range of stuffs, from snacks to more substantial instant meals, and some electronics and other necessities as well. The laundry facility was great and can be paid for using a payment card, and it was quite easy to operate.
