Awesome place to stay!”

I booked a small studio but was upgraded to the loft apartment which I recommend highly over the studio which is really small. Easy free parking outside room, located away from main city but only 2 min drive to get there but very close to a large park/ gardens nice cafes and the steepest street all walking distance from here. The loft room was very modern - recently renovated with latest appliances etc and a very comfy bed. Would def stay again!

A cozy place to stay at Dunedin”

We spent one night at Aria on Bank Motel. It was a small but comfortable place with stylish design. The room was well equipped with a kitchen and a bathroom. Everything looked very new and sparkling clean. The only thing I can complaint is that the mattress was too soft and thin, which is not very good for my back. Otherwise it was a perfect experience here. The lady at the front desk was nice and welcoming. She gave us all the details about Dunedin including dining, parking and location to visit. That was extremely helpful to us. I would highly recommend to stay at this motel.

Disappointed”

Pricey for what you get. As a sole traveller you pay for two so disappointing when basic needs aren’t met. Arrived 5pm - had “run out” of blue milk. All PowerPoints turned off. TV & Sky plugs even pulled out of the sockets. Volume set really low -unable to turn it up. Cannot see tv from mezzanine floor (bedroom) nor hear it. Make-up mirror flops so only useful if your height is less than 5ft. Vanity mirror position difficult to use. Firm. Bed. Very clean and tidy.

Some local eateries close by to grab coffee / lunch / dinner / groceries. Service from front desk was bizarre - limited English skills did not help - and left an overall dissatisfied feeling on departure and therefore cannot recommend.
