Excellent location. Well conserved and maintained building both in and outside. We booked in a superior twin for a family of 4. Spacious room with 2 queen's beds were enough to stay in feeling easy. Bathroom was clean. WiFi was strong. Breakfast was very good. I really love the elevator of Worldwar age that was still in good service. I really much appreciate this hotel and will definitely come back again if I have a chance to come to Dunedin again.

50 points for - large, spacious rooms - excellent shower quality - free laundromat (washer and dryer), with laundry powder provided - friendly service, check in was smooth and we were offered fresh milk - unit and linens were clean - cheap, paid $125 per night per room Minus 5 points for - overall age of unit, furnishings etc are old (but it does remind me of my flatting days as a scarfie in Dunedin) - no lifts so if you have lots of luggage you are going to struggle up the stairs with it.

Our stay at Victoria Hotel in Dunedin was as usual absolutley lovely. Very enjoyable, with the most obliging staff where nothing is a problem. When we go to Dunedin the Victoria Hotel is Always our prefered place to stay, as we know that it is always spotless, warm and very comfortable. The Victoria Hotel is situated very close to town and between two major supermarkets, so very convient! It is also a stones throw away from the hospital which makes it excellent if you have someone in there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Victoria Hotel to any of my friends. Thank You Victoria Hotel for making our stay a wonderful one.

One muddle-headed member of our group came to an awkward realisation that we didn't book our accommodation only on the day we arrived in Dunedin. Our worries were quickly laid to rest when the most accommodating host assisted us by placing us in a bigger room for the night and arranged another beautiful accommodation option just down the street. What's more, after providing us with the bigger room for the night, they let us stay on in the room for the remaining days without any extra charge, even though we booked a smaller and cheaper room previously! How awesome is that? :) The hotel facilities were great. It had a chillout lounge to die for, spacious rooms, the most comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchenette and right at the heart of the city. Everything is simply a stone's throw from the motel - great Irish and Mexican bars, a wide variety of international dining options, shopping malls after shopping malls. If I'm ever back in Dunedin, you can be assured I'll be staying here.

Wish we could have stayed longer. Unfortunately we had limited time with, so much to see and do, in our short holiday around the beautiful South Island of New Zealand. The hotel room was very well equipped. The staff were very friendly and helpful with directions for getting around town. We didn't have time for breakfast but our view of the dining area showed there was plenty of delicious buffet to choose from. We look forward to visiting again and hopefully, a longer stay in 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.

This has got to be the Top 2 motels/hotels we stayed at throughout our 14nights in NZ. We paid for the ground floor apartments which were the cheapest. When we checked in, the male host upgraded us for free to the top floor apartment! It was such a nice thing to do. Absolutely stunning views of St Clair Beach. It was wonderful to wake up to the sound of the ocean waves. The apartment was beautifully decorated & super spacious (4 separate rooms - kitchen, bathrm, bedroom, living rm). The building was lovingly restored. Free parking was available just on the roadside. everything was perfect. Do note there are no stairs so you will have to carry your luggage up 3 floors (the host was very helpful & helped to carry the luggage down when we were checking out). You will have to drive into town the city center. Wish we could stay longer. Dunedin was such a great city.

We stayed 2 nights in late September. Weather was still cold but the room was a comfortably warm retreat at the end of the day.. And heavenly electric blankets!! Clean compact area with all you need to self cater breakfasts so we didn't use the buffet continental breakfast but it looked adequate and well priced. Room was large with additional lounge seating, bed super comfy and bathroom spotless with great hot water, pressure and good towels. Location excellent for exploring on foot, they have off street parking if needed and several airport shuttle companies are door to door. Plenty of eating/drinking options close by for lunches or dinner. Reception area has additional seating if you need to wait after check out, lovely garden outlook . Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was our prime objective and this place delivers. The building has had several lives (one as a YWCA in days past) and older parts are not in use. Dunedin is a historical city and we felt that staying in a glass and chrome boutique hotel was out of character .. We were very pleased with our choice. I am a little unsure of the "4 star" rating in New Zealand but I would place it as 3.5 stars in Australia only because of the general age of the building. 4 stars for location, comfort, cleanliness and staff !! With all the above, we felt that 97 Motel Moray provided us with an excellent stay and the room rate was reasonable. We would use this property again .

Spent two nights at Amross in Dunedin last week on business - first-time stayer. The welcome was warm and friendly, and the unit I had was spacious, clean, modern and very comfortable. The bed was excellent, good selection of pillows (i prefer thinner pillows, but often Motels just have very thick bulky pillows) and the shower had excellent pressure. They also had Netflix as part of the standard offering which added a great selection to the choice of television viewing. I was kindly referred to Buddha Stix just down the road for thai (takeaway or dine-in) - which was superb, and very convenient. Overall an excellent experience and going forward this would be my first choice for future stays in Dunedin.

When we arrived the house it was sound 22:30 due to a longtime driving from Christchurch. The host was still waiting us ,so impressive. The house is a Victoria style 2 level B&B, which is fine decorated and very clean. Facilities are old but it doesnt matter. Car park is available at back yard, which can accommodate 5~6. Dining room is a small hall and with shelf of VHS tapes and books. Everything In this B&B is seeming back to 70s, even earlier. To those who love the style, u can't miss. Location is also very close to Dunedin centre through a very steep st. (not Baldwin steepest).overall it is a very special style hotel, all attendences are university student volunteers. Nice and warm!

The Cumberland Street, central city location is handy to the Octagon, Railway Station, supermarkets, cafes and great retail therapy. The staff are some of the friendliest I’ve encountered anywhere, but I’m delighted to say that seems to be the standard for Quest; (I’ve stayed at 2 Quest Hotels in Wellington, 1 in Whangarei, and now 1 in Dunedin, and the staff were fabulous at each venue). The Dunedin studio was clean, but when we requested extra towels these were not provided, not sure the reason, but it meant we had to use wet towels. On the upside, we commented how hot and stuffy our room was due to the warm weather at the time, and were delighted to find a fan in our room for use during our stay. Thanks Quest. We’d gladly recommend you to our friends and family.

Nicer place then expected. Easy access to town. Was there to see the lil blue penguins at night and this provided a place to get a great sleep afterwards before heading onto Dunedin. Place looked and felt new, clean, everything where it should be. Only concern if you are a light sleeper try to request a unit that does not back to the main road. There was construction going on right outside on the road that made more noise then would have otherwise occurred, I slept fine, wife not so much. As I said, the back is to the road so isn't bad, just request as you wish. I would not hesitate to return. Owner was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The town really surprised me in what it had to offer and how awesome the architecture was.

We stayed in one of the cabins, which was next to a stream. The site was compact but didn't feel overcrowded. We were surprised there was no shop there (we were given milk on arrival) but were provided with a map showing nearby supermarkets and restaurants. Dunedin was a 5-10 minute drive away. We especially enjoyed Otago Peninsular and the weekly farmers' market (Saturday mornings next to the railway station).

We had a wonderful stay at St Clair. Only 10 mins drive from a busy Dunedin- market day etc. Had a sea view beautiful room. Sat and watched the surfers while sipping a glass of rose wine. Booked a table for dinner that night. Fabulous meal. If back in that part of New Zealand would stay there again. Next morning went to the Penguin Place on the peninsula. So worth the drive.

We enjoyed our stay with Trish and her son Simon, they made us feel very welcome into their home. All rooms very well appointed...you had the run of the house with a fully equiped kitchen if you wished to cook your own meals then you could do so, laundry, a lounge room to spread yourself out and a beautiful dining room where breakfast was served, the view of Dunedin from here was just amazing !!!! We want this to be just our secret but that would be selfish of us. On our next visit to Dunedin, we know where we will be staying. This would be our best B & B so congratulations Trish and Simon....keep up the excellent work!

everywhere i usually stay in dunedin was booked out and was therefore "forced" into seeking accommodation with a higher price tag than i usually do. given this, i then expected more than what i usually receive, and i was not at all disappointed. in fact, i would very definitely return again, despite a higher than normal (for me) tariff. speaking of tariff, however, do check very carefully what you are being actually charged against what the motel is offering. i found the agency through which i booked (on line), had misquoted the actual tariff by 50%, so i spent a great deal more than was expected. despite the expense, the motel is absolute value for money, particularly if you get an upstairs spa studio. when i first arrived, the roadside sign announced it as an “econo lodge”. having stayed in many of these while travelling in the united states, the room (which is actually a series of rooms) was very well furnished with a leather lounge suite (all recliners), very stylish table and chairs, mobile television set and queen size bed (amongst other items). adding to the unique atmosphere was a loft bedroom (a first (and wonderful) experience for me). the unit also had a balcony, as well as a separate bathroom and toilet. the bathroom (which is separated from the toilet has an enormous spa bath, from which you can soak and watch television at the same time. now that (for me anyway) is luxury. the guest information booklet is also very informative. there is a 24 hour general supplies shop right across the road, but dunedin’s main shopping centre is a mere 10 minutes’ walk away, where retail outlets and restaurants abound. it may take a great deal longer, therefore, than ten minutes to reach the city centre given the many diversions you are likely to make.
