"We feel so welcome here. It's been a great experience. Angela and Robin have been so warm to us. They're very friendly and helpful. We also got to pet a cat name Roger who is so playful. That made us feel more like home. The price is absolutely reasonable. If we ever come back to Christchurch, Dorset House will definitely be our home... " - Sufinoor Suaid

| Hotel description: |
|
Steeped in history and situated next to beautiful Hagley Park, Dorset House Christchurch Backpacker Hostel is relaxing, spacious and elegant, and is equipped with all that a traveller could need.
Dorset House is set among beautiful gardens and is still steeped in the character of the early Christchurch pioneers. Built in 1871 as the home for the wealthy timber merchant, J B Way, it once featured 27 rooms and three Italian marble fireplaces. It has been lovingly maintained, and is a slice of Christchurch’s past that we are proud to share with our guests.
Our rooms are comfortable, freshly cleaned, and bathed in sun. All rooms are within 3-7 metres of a bathroom. There are no bunk beds– all beds are made with fresh linen. We have a sunny kitchen, and there’s a laundry here too. Facilities include a free pool table, TV, free DVD hire, Cable TV, book exchange and stereo. There are computers for guest use, and FREE WiFi access.
Dorset House offers a travel and information desk – ask at reception and let us organise your tours or day trips. Breakfast packs are available, or we are just two-minutes from some great cafes & restaurants on Victoria St. From Dorset House, it’s just a 15-minute stroll to Cathedral Square, the centre of Christchurch.
Late check-ins can be organised, and free luggage storage is available. Free off-street car-parking is available behind the House.
We hope to see you here soon!
