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. Location, cleanliness, environment, facility. Location is so good, just next to bus station (interchange), just get off bus from airport..1 min walk to get into Drifter Christchurch. Bus to Akaroa or to Tekapo/Mt Cook...also right next to the hostel. So good that no need to rush with all luggage. Cleanliness in room, shared toilet/shower, social area, kitchen. Environment -- I really like lighting, decoration in social area, feel warmed Facility -- my first time to use virtual key through App which is cool and make me feel safe. The bunk bed seems stronger than other hostel (at least the best in my whole trip) so I wasn't afraid bothering others all the time.
