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.

Central and comfortable
This hotel is a short walk from the Octagon, which makes it very convenient. My room was spacious and had a nice view of the harbour. When I reported a light bulb that needed to be replaced, it was replaced promptly.

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!
