Top Dunedin Hotel Reviews

Aria On Bank

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay, thank you. We loved the location as we could easily walk or drive where we needed to be. Very comfortable stay with all the necessities required. I left my pillow there and the staff were incredibly helpful. Thank you ever so much, we will definitely be back. "

Scenic Hotel Southern Cross

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice hotel in a convenient location for Dunedin CBD. The Whittaker's Chocolate was a nice touch as hotels and motels don't seem to leave a cookie or chocolate for guests anymore. The bee was very comfortable and the bathroom was super clean. The toilet was a bit noisy after flushing but it's no big deal, unless you go to the bathroom in the night. It can be a bit irritating. Internet was good, and plenty of toiletries, tea, coffee, and towels. Thank you for realising women need more than one towel :) "

Woodlands Motels and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Good value for money. Quiet location and very close to Otago University campus. Walking distance (about 20 minutes) to the Octagon area. Plenty of space and adequate storage. Bed was comfortable. Nice to have the stove to prepare some warm food. Kitchen had all the essentials. Chilly winter weather outside but two heaters kept it adequately warm inside. A few electrical outlets did not work. Not completely eco-friendly -- changed towels every day and there was a half-inch gap at the top of the entry door. Office is open only from 8AM to 6PM. Free daily newspaper was appreciated. Several international and local fast food outlets in the neighborhood. Supermarkets (GW and Woolworth) are a few blocks away (15-20 minutes walking). There is a convenience store about a block away if the weather is rainy or you need something late at night. We used the very convenient and cost-effective Super Shuttle to and from the airport. "
