    Neat and functional place, has amazing views over the harbor. The studio suite is spotless and has under-floor heating, a lounge area, and a large desk. The setting is great, short walk to South Island, and the gardens, the train station, the Settlers Museum and George Street shopping, pretty quiet area. Plus, it is a 10-15 minute walk from Dunedin Town Hall.

    quiet room
    excellent shower
    inconvenient shower shelf

    We had a grand stay here, with a lovely spot close to the city centre. The room was exceptionally quiet, and the shower was a treat with easy button controls for water flow. Only downside was the lack of space for shampoo in the shower. mighty good experience.

    comfortable bed
    great location
    helpful staff
    sagging mattress
    laundry issue

    The room's size blew me away. Huge layout with a microwave, fridge, and Nespresso maker. Loved the spacious bathroom with a modern walk-in shower and a nice tub. The washer and dryer were a game changer after hiking. The mattress sagged a bit, detracting from sleep quality. I appreciated the staff's quick resolution regarding detergent for laundry, but it felt unnecessary to have to ask. It was well-equipped for comfort but could definitely use a new mattress for that perfect stay.

    comfortable bed
    great breakfast
    inconsistent wi-fi

    spacious room but overlooked details

    The room was superb with a very comfortable bed. I appreciated the microwave, washer, and dryer in the suite. The shower function was excellent, delivering 40°C water at just the press of a button. Guests previously mentioned the great breakfast options, and I can confirm there was a good variety to choose from.

    One issue I encountered was the inconsistent Wi-Fi speed.

    slow wifi
    poor wine selection

    Had a sweet kitchenette and big bathroom with a fab shower. The staff were really friendly and always there to help. Room service was quick and there was a nice variety for breakfast. The location is great for exploring the city!

    however, the wifi was a bit slow at times and i thought the wine selection could be better.
