Dunedin Central Hotels with Restaurant

The staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. It's like being invited in by a family at Xmas It is also one of the few hotels where the Manager, Adrian is proactive and helps with bags ,coffees and general departures. Amazing experience!

We stayed 4 nights in the superior King room (Room 206) during the blizzard of Oct 2022. The room and bathroom were well-appointed and stunningly presented. It looks as good as advertised. The experience was excellent from check-in to check-out. Valet parking service was prompt and exceptional value - 30NZD a day feels like a steal. Service was attentive, responsive but not stuffy. Without intending to omit anyone, Romaine/Ramon(?) in The Press Club and Lianna(?) on the front desk were particularly easy to talk to. Of the 4 fine dining dinners we had in Dunedin, The Press Club at Fable was the stand out. It was well ahead of so-called ‘hatted’ restaurants like Moiety (don’t eat at Moiety, it’s terrible). The venison rack was a highlight.

I was initially concerned by some poor reviews this hotel received recently but was pleasantly surprised by the result. I had a great stay here. Maybe I was lucky and stayed at the right time, but if the hotel can maintain consistent standards across all guests I am sure they would move much higher in the traveller rankings. During my stay I had the privilege of staying in one half of the Queen’s room. It’s certainly not the standard it was when her majesty stayed here back in 1954 but it was undeniably comfortable. The toilet showed signs of wear and tear but it was clean. The beds were also made each day and the mattress was extremely comfortable. There definitely needs to be some work done to sound proof the room as traffic can be heard from the room. Guess that is what the ear plugs provided were for! I would have no qualms staying here again. Thanks for the great stay!!!

Very good hotel, very good in that location, complete and comfortable facilities, good service, good breakfast, convenient transportation, parking lot, and easy driving!

This hotel is very self effacing. It says it is a 4 star but in fact it is better than that! Upon arrival we were welcomed and were lucky enough to be given an upgrade to a one bedroom suite. The room was absolutely spotless and the the servicing of the room was faultless! The bar is pleasant and service second to none! The restaurant was special. The food was at a very high standard as was the service! We loved this hotel and will stay there whenever we are in Dunedin

Stayed here for 3 nights, first time here and I was suitably impressed. After having stayed at Beechwood, Distinction, Quest and many of the hotels in Dunedin I thought this one didn’t deserve to be overlooked - and I’m really glad I chose it. From the friendly ‘reception’ staff (a pleasantly untypical reception btw), the wonderful cafe staff and food where I dined twice to the beautiful design and layout of the hotel My room was amazing… spacious, modern, reasonably quiet and everything I needed was there (apart from a microwave but I can live without that). Once I figured out how to work the TV I was all set, I really wish more hotels allowed you to watch Netflix, YouTube etc on the TV! Even the coffee station was unique. I can’t wait to return next year, thank you!

Economy room was perfect for a night when visiting for graduation. Peter was great host, as was Jacqueline 2nd day. Clean and comfortable room, great shower. Nice and quiet on 2nd floor. Cooked breakfast in large stunning dining room was fantastic. Chef made me an omelette since I don't eat meat. Walking distance to most areas. Free parking across busy road

Easy and quick check in. Room was lovely and spacious, separate bedroom and lounge with a small fridge/jug. Housekeeping was excellent. Location is a few minutes walk from the Octagon, a bit of a climb walking back up, but doable, even though I huffed and puffed a little 🤣. The lift isn’t the fastest, only had to wait once during our 4 night stay. Requested a late check out as my flight to auckland wasn’t until the late afternoon, which was accommodated with a smile. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Would happily stay here again.

Stayed two nights at this hotel which is located right in the CBD with an easy walk to the Dunedin Railway Station and Octagon where many cafes and restaurants are located. The hotel is situated down an alleyway but instructions received in an email from the hotel prior to arrival explained in detail how to get to the hotel. Our room was a good size with a king-sized bed along with a single bed. It was clean and serviced promptly each morning. The staff are friendly and reception suggested we have breakfast at The Good Oil just across the road. Would definitely recommend this hotel to other travellers.

After reading many reviews on this site and looking for somewhere with two bedrooms we booked here. We knew there was an older part and a renovated part so we paid a little more for the newer two bedroom room. We got free parking as we booked directly with the hotel and had breakfast there in the morning. The room was excellent - all new and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went for a walk to the railway station and then to the Octogon all very close. The staff then helped us with a taxi to dinner. My nephew was unwell during the night and the staff left us say in the room a little while longer while he slept longer. They were very understanding and a great help. The only negative was the breakfast was a little dry as I think it had been sitting in the buffet for a while. It still tasted good and did the job of filling us up. We would stay and book this room again.
