We had a great stay they threw in a upgrade. We stay here whenever in Dunedin. The rooms are basic but comfortable, quiet enough for a good nights sleep. Location is great being central. They have regular specials that are great value for money - check out their website. More

I really liked the service here which was friendly and helpful. Good info for tourists. The room was big and the beds were nice and the place was clean. The hallways were a bit old and scary but I have probably seen too many horror movies and could have an overactive imagination. The parking was pretty scary, it is on... More

We stayed for 5 nights. Centrally located with helpful staff and nothing more. Hotel might be OK for couples but definitely not for families. For NZD 185 per night there are excellent motels nearby. Dimly lit rooms with bad light fittings, shabby family room, very ordinary menu, shortage of power point to use, average cleanliness and expensive wi-fi. Compared to... More

Room on 5th floor clean, comfortable, warm once I got the heater going. Great views. But why do some hotel rooms have such poor lighting and dearth of power points? I had to unplug the standard light to plug in my laptop, then the light was so poor it made reading associated paperwork almost impossible. The only light in the... More

We were lucky to be able to complete our booking here as the hotel had only just reopened on our arrival day following a fire!! Not sure if our room had been affected but the surrounding corridors etc had been redecorated. It was very spacious and comfortable - more than adequate for a couple of nights. Breakfast was taken in... More

Stayed at Kingsgate Dunedin for three nights with two children under. The room was very spacious one double bed, one single bed and a cot, with heaps of room for the kids to play while we sat back and admired the view. The rooms are very very clean, thanks to the lovely housekeepers who made our sons bed each day... More

Stayed at this hotel some years ago when it was a Quality Inn property. Probably now in need of a bit of updating, but still good value, comfortable accommodation, and central location can't be bettered. Great view over the city. (That's why we chose to stay there again, for four nights). Car parking and access requires careful driving. Staff very... More

Although the hotel is somewhat plain and basic, we were comfortable our two nights in this hotel and enjoyed our stay. The location is very good - close to the Octagon but up a steep hill - if you are walking impaired you need to think about using a taxi. Our room was large and spacious, with one double bed... More
