Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were exceptional, very clean, and the facilities were great. However, the view from the room was not ideal as it looked into the back of buildings. The musty smell and lack of air conditioning were a downside.
Our stay at the hotel was quite interesting. The rooms felt like we were in a prison cell with limited natural light, but the quirky design and attention to detail were impressive. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff arguments in front of guests but complimentary luggage storage. The location was great in the city center, although situated in an aging part of Dunedin. The dining experience had some delays but the reception staff handled it well. Overall, a unique stay with both positive and negative aspects.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were tired but had a nice surprise with a proper balcony. The service was attentive and friendly, although some staff seemed overwhelmed at times. The location was great for exploring the city center, but the hotel seemed full on a rugby weekend. The dining experience had its ups and downs with freshly cooked hot food available, but some confusion with extra charges at checkout.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a king-size bed and a great shower. However, noise from neighboring rooms and a damp smell were minor downsides. The service was extremely welcoming and accommodating, although there was some confusion about what was included. The location is excellent for accessing cafes and bars but had a slightly dodgy feel in parts. The dining experience varied from well-cooked and flavorful meals to basic offerings. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center with great shower facilities in the room. However, the cleanliness, layout, and decor need improvement to enhance the overall experience.
The hotel offers cozy rooms, a central location, and friendly service. However, the limited room space and dated bathroom could use an upgrade. On the bright side, its prime city center location is a winning feature for easy exploration.
