Hello Christchurch!

Not much hostel room in Christchurch, so Dom and I booked a hotel. We were surprised how inexpensive it was in comparison to other hotels. Turns out, there was a reason why: the rooms are 110 sq ft with no windows. You don't realize how small that is until you stay in a hotel room that size! To their credit, the room was brilliantly done and very modern. I felt like I was in an Ikea exhibit. Possibly the most unusual feature was the "sunrise wake up." Since the room has no natural light (no windows), you can tell this fancy panel on the wall what time you want to wake up. Five minutes before that set time, the room will slowly start to brighten like a sunrise. So bizarre - so cool!Les mer
