Good business hotel

Very friendly check in. We had a car and they provided a good valet service. Helped us with our luggage up to the room. The room was nicely furnished as a classic room it was of an adequate size. We stayed 2 nights and had dinner there on the second night. It was beautifully presented and really nice ambiance in the restaurant.

Lovely Stay but Restaurant Fully Booked

Lovely hotel right in the city centre. You can easily walk to most places. Excellent service & the room was really nicely appointed. The only disappointing thing about our stay was that the restaurant was fully booked. I’m really surprised that no capacity is reserved for guests staying in the hotel - that’s the normal advantage of booking a hotel that has a restaurant in it.

This is a stunning hotel in a beautiful historic building. The restaurant is amazing and quality service all around. The only downside was the room was really lacking some amenities like coat hangers and space in the bathroom to put your belongings.

Mixed bag

The hotel was nice and modern and room comfortable. The room was quite dusty, especially the wooden blinds. We paid for breakfast which opened at 07:30. Although we advised the night before that we had to leave at 07:45 to catch a flight and were told that was fine to eat, we found out when we turned up for breakfast at 07:20 that it was a la carte not buffet and they wouldn’t take our order until the kitchen opened at 07:30. We had to leave before our order arrived. Our room was also quite noisy, with the sound of the lift, the neighbours shower and also street noise, and we were on the top floor! Room 712.

Nice hotel but small room

Nice hotel, beautifully decorated and very clean. However, although the room was lovely it was tiny with practically no space around the queen sized bed. Staff were friendly enough but the restaurant staff seemed very stressed. We had breakfast on Christmas Day and there was nothing festive or special about the service at all. Reception staff were helpful although checkout was more complicated than it should have been!

2 nights in Dunedin

The hotel was easy to find. We booked parking for two nights. The room was a good size. We were very comfortable apart from a window that rattled in the wind during the first night. It would be nice to have more than 2 teabags. It would be better to have two chairs in the room so visitors do not have to sit on the bed. Staff all very friendly.

Nice bar/restaurant area. Room reasonable size and well appointed. However, the lift to the odd numbered floors only runs from 8am to 8pm - if you're on the 7th floor and want to leave early or check in late, good luck. In addition, the rooms on the top floor only have a small window high in the wall so you can't really see out at all - avoid them. Finally, no phones in the room so there is a complicated IPad system that they spend a long time explaining when you check in.
