Lylo Christchurch Airport, an EVT Hotel

The location is excellent, just a 10-15 minute walk from the airport. McDonald's, KFC, and a supermarket are all within a 5-minute walk, and the Antarctic Centre is also right next door. I stayed in a female dorm capsule bed. It was clean, and the shared bathrooms were decent. There's also a common area with a kitchen, including shared refrigerators, microwaves, pots, pans, and cutlery. You can relax on the sofas or hammocks. My bunk had USB ports and power outlets, and there's a locker with a combination lock underneath. For this price and environment, it's a perfect score.

The room was small but had everything I needed, which was very convenient. The kitchen was well-equipped with oil, salt, vinegar, and soy sauce, and had plenty of space for cooking. It's also close to the airport, and the path was well-lit the whole way, so I felt safe walking alone as a woman.
