Excellent”
Room had a smell of tobacco and hard to air out without leaving fire escape open. However I booked on the week after labour weekend by accident. Realized the week befofe Labour weekend and they still managed to fit me in at the same price.
Great place to stay for 1-2 nights”
Located in a walk distance, very quiet
Very nice place ”

Great location”
It was a nice tidy place, friendly staff, my room was a bit retro could do with some upgrades (atleast a flat screen tv) but over all I liked it
Aging but with a sligh charm”
Stayed for a single night, the room I got was quite large, for the price its a mixed bag, the carpets look dreadfully old, it didnt look dirty, there was a glass that was bit dirty, but the bedding looked and smelled fresh, the staff were friendly in accomodating a late arrival. There are better places to stay in the vicinity for the sam pricing unfortunately.
Excellent”
Really friendly, helpful staff, great service
Close to the university”
With the shared bathroom bedrooms, building and facilities slightly dated.
Good good value for money and would stay again”
Very good valude for money, all facilities provided, clean, spacious and quiet. warm, welcoming. It has such a good location to go to restaurant, cafe, and shopping mall by walking. Free laundry (so might be long line to do yours). Everything was great.
awesome location, bed need replacing”
This location is perfect for Forsyth Barr stadium, the rooms were clean and tidy, however the bed was uncomfortable in places and probably need to be replaced.
还可以”
因为价格便宜，只住了一晚，接待的老爷爷十分热情，我们住这栋很复古，估计房子有些年头了，设施还算齐全，厨房是公用的，房间里面有电暖气，外面有停车位，只不过有些老旧。
Exceptional”
Excellent in everything, we couldn't fault it. Historic charm throughout.
Cheap and cheerful but too noisy ”
Cheap, comfortable but you could hear too much from the other rooms, needs sound proofing
Great place to stay”
Ok it's not the newest place in Dunedin. But you get no complaints from us. If you want some where central, close to restaurants, easy to drive to the peninsular, and a short walk to town this is it. Helpful staff, clean rooms which are a bit dated, we thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. Would be my first port of call next time in Dunedin. Value for money here.
Good”
Should have a small table in the room so that guests could keep stuff such as a glass, a bottle etc. The floor boards creak. Generally good value for the cost of the room.
Nice host but run down location ”
Very nice and helpful host- the location is a bit rusty and could use a upgrade
Above average”
Winter. Room cold. Heater not warm enough to heat room up. Absent of heater control switches. Consolation - an electric blanket.
The best location and friendly owner”
All perfect for us
