    Hi there,
    I live in Christchurch, and I would say thats a fairly decent choice. It is rated at one of the top hotels in the city. Around 50m to Town Hall, convention centre and the casino. Walking distance to famous Cathedral Square, city centre, Botanical Gardens, restaurants and cafes. 15 minutes to the Christchurch Airport and 10 minutes to the railway station.
    Kilmore st is fairly quiet, it’s fairly close to some main roads, but Christchurch isn’t the busiest city.
    I would just say be careful at night, we have the highest violence rating in NZ. I’v never seen any myself, but I dont live in the city. I would suggest not going into the city centre alone past 8pm. Dont let my comments scare you, theres not gangs or anything, just be wary of it.

    Otherwise, I think this hotel should be fine, close to everything, looks clean, not the biggest place youv’e ever seen, but should give you a comfortable stay for the price.

    I know the holiday inn is fairly nice, although it really would be noisy I think. Or the grand chancellor, I’v heard is nice, its opposite the sovereign.

    If you want anymore help, you might like to try http://www.tripadvisor.com its fairly good if you need honest advice on accomadation.
    Good Luck with your decision, and have a great holiday!
