Dunedin First Timers
Nice hotel in central location in Dunedin. Beds could be more comfortable. You have to reserve parking ahead of time or you have to pay for street parking. We had a nice big corner room and tried room service which had great food and snacks. The breakfast buffet also has a great variety.

The location was great, basically bang in the middle of the CBD. The room was nice and clean, although there was a constant humming all day and night and the fridge sounded like a forklift in the middle of the night.

Good location and staff
All the staff are gentle and friendly, I stayed for 3days in Dunedin, all were good except the weather but all staff in this hotel gave me a good info and service. It’s close to most monuments around the Octagon where the centre of the city and some facilities. ex) a supermarket and so on. But if you drive, you must check whether a book a parking spot at the hotel can be available or not!
