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!

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.
