Guest Reviews
- zina (8/5): -
- Jashmin (8/5): Everything was good, staffs were nice and helpful, it was quite place and restaurants were nearby - It was in main city like places in walking distance close by Parking very congested, should have car park place for people who book the hotel hot water pressure was low
- Julie (7/5): -
- Marion (8/5): -
- leigh (10/5): - Friendly staff, great food, nice and central. The team was exceptional.
- Ingram (8/5): Great location, comfortable, cleaning team were fantastic and overall this place met my needs. - The room was affordable, clean and comfortable for a 2-night stay. I was also close enough to the hospital to visit my mum who was getting surgery. Easy access to supermarkets, places to eat and the main manager was really helpful in letting me store my bags in reception after checking out, so that I could take a final walk around the local area to explore. Would stay here again. One manager during the day was a little flat in their demeanour regarding their customer service; other team members were overall really friendly and helpful.
- Patrick (9/5): We stayed just the one night. Location was great, price was reasonable and we were well satisfied. - the rooms were small but warm, clean and tidy. Showers were good and the dining room was great. We still talk about the kumara chips and how sweet and crisp they were. Nothing to say here.
- Lemon (10/5): - Absolutely excellent location a short walk to town, the property has secure car parking on site, our twin room was comfortable with great views. 10/10 for the ribs from the restaurant. Overall a warm, comfortable friendly vibe about the place, Will stay again next time we're in town
- Anaïs (6/5): - Le personnel très sympathique Lit confortable Le sèche cheveux et boule quies dans la table de nuit c'est top La salle de bain est vraiment à revoir entre l'eau qui coule avec peu de pression et le fait qu'elle n'est pas du tout isolé la température est la même que dehors je me suis gelée les meules
- mudavanhu (8/5): - The location, right in town
- Anne (5/5): Comfy enough, with a lift. - Good location for walking everywhere, very close to Dunedin train station and The Octagon. Very large room, plenty of tea/coffee supplies. Dinner in the restaurant was very nice, staff very friendly Nowhere to put toiletry bags in the bathroom, which also has a cracked basin (superficial), ancient toilet and cistern. The hotel would have been lovely 70 years ago when the Queen and Prince Phillip stayed, but is in dire need of some updates.
- Lorraine (8/5): Brilliant location, exceptional staff, comfortable beds, hot shower, amazing meals in the restaurant - Fantastic value for a great location. Rooms are dated and basic, but that what we were expecting. Food in the pub downstairs was excellent and all staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful Room needs a bit of tlc, but nothing that affected our comfort
- Hugh (8/5): -
- Sue (8/5): Laws Court is a very old hotel in mostly original condition with a feeling of being loved & cared for despite its ag -
- wei (4/5): 地点好，步行到各个景点方便，设施老旧。 - location. nice stuff. parking needs renovation
- Pip (5/5): Needs modernising but great location and reasonably priced, for a reason. You get what you pay for - Central location is great. Free car parking is great. Reasonably priced, spacious 3-bed unit. Old fashioned hotel, still reminiscent of the 1950’s. Not cosy or contemporary. Run-down furniture, dark inside.
- Hannah (10/5): - Great location, friendly staff. Room did the job and shower pressure was lovely Bathroom needs refurb
- Kevin (8/5): - Lovely central location. Adequately clean room. Friendly helpful staff. Full house on the Saturday with graduations going on. People slamming doors and talking loud in corridors annoying other people. Glad I’m not a light sleeper. Didn’t worry me.
- Anni (3/5): -
- Argie (9/5): Fantastic Hotel. Great location. - Great location, central and convenient. There’s a pub and restaurant downstairs. Art deco building probably built in the 1920’s. They have installed an interior window which helped with soundproofing as it’s very loud and busy outside. Didn’t have a microwave.
- Racheal (3/5): - Located in the city center. Friendly staff. Old building with old facilities. The bathroom is the scariest part.
- Megan (8/5): - Lovely staff. Very helpful and let us check in early to get changed for graduation photos. Amazing location. Was able to walk everywhere and leave the car for free at the hotel as Dunedin parking is expensive and stressful to find a spot. Good clean rooms
- Jessica (5/5): Was alright for a last minute night booking but I wouldn't want to do more than one night - Great location close to the octogen. Take airplugs if you are a light sleeper. The room I was in you could hear anyone going up and down the stairs or hall and anyone using the swinging door at the end of the hall as if they were in your room with you
- Wayne (8/5): -
- Helen (8/5): Superb location with comfortable rooms. - Superb location. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. N/A
- Dewi (7/5): Lokasi hotel dekat dengan busstop intercity dan supermarket - Fasilitas kamar hotel bernuansa seperti tahun 50an, Staff hotel baik dan ramah, hotel dekat dengan busstop intercity dan supermarket. Tidak ada
- Kay (5/5): - I was looking for budget, close to a venue. I wasn't expect top quality
- Ruth (9/5): Great location, historic, friendly,cosy and amaing meals in the restaurant downstairs. - Just two blocks away from the Octagon - great location. Excellent restaurant and pub downstairs. Amazing meals. Very comfortable.
- Emma (6/5): - L'hôtel est situé en plein centre ville avec un parking gratuit à proximité de tout commercer Le personnel est particulièrement gentil et accueillant Les chambres sont relativement anciennes et mériteraient un petit peu plus de soin
- Mark (8/5): Looking forward to our next stay. Would be interested in the larger apartment room next time. Highly recommend. - Loved the location, car parking and continental breakfast included. Loved the atmosphere in the bar and the prices! Our bed was a bit too soft for my back.
- Mark (8/5): - Restaurant & location. Also good parking Very old room in particular the bathroom, but clean & fresh
- Julia (9/5): - Perfect location. Short walk to Octagon. Very helpful staff.
- Deroos (6/5): Law courts hotel - The room was warm and clean and the shower had excellent pressure, clean towels were supplied daily. The decor was tired, stained carpet and torn shade on the lamp, missed matched paint patches on the walls etc. there was no extractor fan in the bathroom and the ceiling had mould.
- Dominic (10/5): -
- Alexandra (7/5): Hiatorisches Hotel mit Renovierungsbedarf - Geräumiges Zimmer. Bad war sehr verschimmelt Fenster alt und dadurch war es sehr laut.
- Tony Pauline (9/5): - We stayed one night. A great place right in the centre of town. We received a warm and friendly welcome. Free parking. We had a small room but it was all we needed. Warm and clean. Comfortable beds and a good shower. Will use again Nothing.
- Masateru (7/5): -
- Gautam (8/5): - Close to university and very friendly staff. Nothing
- Avish (1/5): - Property was good When I went to check in the guy said how many more of your kind is staying here and threaten that he will kick us out and call the police if did anything when I didn’t even do anything
- Jewels Julie (9/5): - All of it staff great
- Garry (5/5): - Bed was good Dirty coffee spoons. No space to place things on. Windows do not lock with fire escape access.
- Peter (10/5): -
- Eric (8/5): Was a comfortable stay - Fantastic friendly staff Was a bit noisy at times but to be expected due to location
- Rita (10/5): -
- Ian (8/5): - It was central to town. Staff were very helpful. If I'm going back again I would get a bigger room.
- Stephen (8/5): - location Could do with an upgrade in the bathroom
- Jennifer (5/5): - Location was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful Room was very cold when we went in and a little sparse and old fashioned, needed a bit of a paint and maintenance.
- Fran (5/5): Proximity to Octagon great. - Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was help yourself continental . Position of room right above main highway out of town . Extremely noisy and couldn't block out noise or lights. Also, old shower with rotting framework. Shower itself good.
- Manbir (10/5): -
- Denise (7/5): A Pleasant Stay, Bathroom Needs Work. - Location was very central and convenient, there was no noise from the hotel part below in the room I was in. The room had everything I needed, heater and an electric blanket which was appreciated although not needed. The ability to exit out of my window onto a fire escape should the need arise this is very important to me when staying on an upper floor. I had a meal in the restaurant, the Blue cod was lovely and an excellent made lemon/lime & bitters. The bathroom was adequate however it did look a bit tired and could do with a refurbishment. It looked like there maybe mould on the upper wall near the ceiling of the bathroom. If it is mould then no one should be staying in these rooms it is a health hazard. The tiles were a bit retro which is no issue however they were cracked & again mould could be growing within the grout and so this needs to be sorted.
- Jason (9/5): -
- Cornelia (7/5): Basic room in central location - greay value for money - Central, tidy, comfortable bed, nice food Bit noisy drom other rooms and the road, but earplugs were available :)
- Barbara (10/5): Great value for money in a central location - Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money. Perfect overnight stop.
- Johannah (8/5): Good! - Central location, staff were very friendly and the carpark is very convenient Facilities esp showers are abit run down, noise insulation might not be so good
- Bowen (8/5): -
- Edwards (10/5): - Great location. Friendly staff. Good meals. Would definitely stay again.
- Jenna (6/5): -
- Poti (6/5): Law Court - Walking distance to the hospital. Friendly and helpful staff. A short walk to the hospital, up to central or down to the Railway station! Steeped in history. Awesome shower, super hot water. Exactly what was needed for a night. Wifi, private parking TV, mini fridge kettle, handy to eateries, Maggies across the road amazing for breakfast! And very easy to find. It was very noisy, at night.
- GrayMcGowan (9/5): A vast majority improvement - Location, restaurant, staff, pricing Nothing to report
- Mairin (8/5): - The staff, the food, the position The room was tiny and fittings old
- Angela (8/5): Very good - Friendly staff, great location. Room had everything needed but was basic as expected - no complaints though One of the windows doesn't close in bathroom
- Ziqiang (5/5): -
- Bruce (7/5): - Location is great very close to octagon. Other bars, restaurants and buses. Noise between rooms, the walls must not be soundproofed.
- Kasumi (5/5): -
- Michael (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Carol (8/5): - Close to everything, 5min walk to railway, city centre, staff helpful & friendly Shower just adequate
- Kerry (9/5): - Great value for money, excellent staff
- Kathryn (7/5): - Great location. Room was dated but clean.
- Sharyn (7/5): - Location and staff Carpark Smell of cleaning fluid and old room smell. There are nice room sprays etc that would work. The entrance and stairs could look so much more inviting with very little money spent.
- Emma (8/5): - Felt like good value for money. Good location. The bathroom in our room could do with modernising, but it was of clean standard so not the end of the world for the price point. Common area upstairs (original phone booth and hallway area) was being used as storage space. It seems a shame, but I'm not sure what other use of the space there could be? Perhaps a comfortable lounge area with sofas and books/magazines and plants etc. Could also be a place to sit with laptop for example thats quieter than the bar downstairs. Or vending machine for snacks/soft drinks? Would make it feel more homely/comfortable?
- Harrison (10/5): -
- Melissa (6/5): Very good for a quick stay over - Food was good very friendly The noise
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Liang (9/5): Overall I will stay again next time - Good central location. Reasonable price, easy parking. Definitely worth it. Maybe the restaurant’s food can be improved. I had the lamb burger which doesn’t taste very well.
- Sarah (8/5): Always enjoy an easy stay at Law Courts…but need heat when it’s cold. - Good price, proximity to town, comfortable. Electric blanket didn’t work. Couldn’t get heater to work. Loo didn’t flush properly. Very loud upstairs lodgers.
- Claire (8/5): Handy to city centre - Handy location, very helpful and friendly staff Needs an update to the room, but in saying that it was clean, comfortable and had great shower pressure
- Natalie (8/5): - Location and value for money. Super comfortable beds and very warm. Mould in the shower.
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): Short stay. Would use again. - Clean, quiet, hospitable Nothing
- Maria (8/5): Grey hairs on tour - Convenient location.
- Robin (8/5): What I needed. Didn't disappoint. - Stayed a few times before. Kind of basic but great and all that you need. Shower head at shoulder height was awkward
- Janine (10/5): Old pub experience - It’s a gorgeous old school pub and accommodations. Room is small but has everything you need. Great for the price and lovely staff Shower didn’t have much pressure but lovely hot water
- Angela (9/5): -
- Linda (9/5): Great location to see the best of Dunedin - Deco era hotel lived up to expectations as the location was very important. As was a parking space for the car. Small room but was nice and quiet and bed was comfortable. Bar and restaurant on site but also close to eateries, coffee shops and easy to walk to the various local historical attractions etc. Would stay again. Helpful and obliging staff. Decor a bit jaded and small bathroom.
- Miss Rebecca (7/5): Great central location. Good price and comfy beds. - Great Central location. Able to walk most everywhere. Comfy bed. Rooms not sound proof much. Dated bathrooms and noisy location on weekends due to proximity to bars and the Octagon.
- Shirley (8/5): - The history of the property.
- Warwick Davis (8/5): - The sink gurgled at times which kept me awake.
- Nick (8/5): -
- Rhiannon (9/5): Very comfortable - The location is amazing, great value for money there and with free parking it makes it amazing if you're renting a car. Staff were friendly and the rooms were cozy, comfortable, and tidy. I think the bathrooms could be slightly updated but other than that they serve their purpose well.

- 0ce315d521a172886b4dabd5adf28677 (8/5): Great value spot with excellent location. - Fantastic location in the centre of Dunedin. Facilities are basic old school but very clean and we loved the vintage vibe. Friendly and helpful staff.
- 1d8894b496a9738e4ca292b339808cb0 (8/5): - Clean. Nice room. Restaurant had great food for a good price The shower. No water pressure

- dfafe8b3e8dc70a2df1b236f050fa8f9 (8/5): - Staff. And when I called in at 12noon, asking if we could book in early, he said yes and all rooms were ready. Not the best lasagne meal, but they replaced it with another choice
- d628873e2da6717b2dc784932f2c4b24 (7/5): - Retro, location Smell, shower was a bit mank
- 8b658eb37be070f823763ad10d325e3a (10/5): - Great central location, especially to visit the train station. Nothing really. They have been refurbishing and when the bathrooms are done it will be lovely. They were clean and we were happy, just a little dated. Food was fabulous with huge servings, we could have shared one roast meal. The staff are exceptional and we wouldn’t bother staying anywhere else.
