Room was comfortable. Coffee was nice.

Light system was over complicated. Did not understand the reason for the tablet system. Seems over thought. Room was overcrowded.

Room was a good size, it was comfortable and clean and super quiet for a CBD location. Onsite restaurant was nice. Staff in hotel and restaurant very friendly.

No full lift to our room which can be issue with large suitcases.

"Dunedin was a beautiful town however the fable was nothing, but I expected, very disappointed."

3.0

Location was convenient. The bathroom in my room was a large and was the best part of the room. The restaurant and bar had great food and wine. The staff was the best part of the hotel, very polite, friendly, and happy to helping in any kind of way.

The rooms were small for the price, and there was no window to speak of. The windows were so small and high that I couldn’t see anything, making it difficult to tell if it was day or night.

Central location, good cafe across the road. Beautiful reception area. Modern and clean rooms Friendly staff

Room was dark with pretty much no windows- probably because I had one of the cheaper room options.
