Manor House Backpackers

Dunedin Central|0.42km from city center
I relocated to Dunedin with my two children. At first Tina Meihana (the owner) seemed lovely and very accommodating but the longer you stay the quicker you realize it's all a front. Regular drinking, pot smoking and violence occurs here and the majority of it is the owners and staff. I was kicked out with my children late at night for simply calling the police out of fear for our safety when one resident assaulted another. While the police were there, Tina ran upstairs and assaulted me in the bedroom, she had already tried breaking down the toilet door to get to me and my injured friend and her ex-Partner (Mason) who is one of the managers, tried grabbing my phone from my hand while I was on a call to the police. The only one who seemed to be reasonable was Tina's partner Maui but unfortunately Tina and Mason were often too drunk to see any sense or acted like it was a high school playground and wouldn't listen to reason. This place is not run like a business at all! On a daily basis they are drinking, smoking pot and getting into verbal and physical arguments with each other as well as the residents (despite Tina being pregnant and having her own young children there she seemed to be the ring leader of the majority of the problems and didn't think twice about assaulting others, male or female). They have not cleaned at all during the level 4 lockdown which means that place could be crawling with all sorts of lethal bacteria. They allow men to walk around exposing themselves in front other residents and children. I am glad to have my children out of that environment, it's not safe for children and I heavily believe Tina shouldn't be a mother if she is to continue carrying on behaving like that! Absolutely appalled!! Surveillance footage has been handed to the police!

Aurora on George

North Dunedin|0.41km from University of Otago
Us and another couple came down to Dunedin to see Rod Stewart in concert and had a lovely time. I think it was 2x luxury studios we had. (21 and 22). Rooms were upstairs and looked down on a nice garden. We didn't hear any traffic noise. There is a fast lift to take you up there. Easy to use entry key and walked into a pleasant large room. Lots of space, very comfy large bed, heatpump, couch and decent tv, kitchen area was roomy if you needed it, including a single dish draw, 2x hobs and a microwave. The bathroom had a heated floor, sensor night light which I am now going to go and get one for home. Good shower and vanity. The only thing I would say is for the size of the main room we could of done with more storage shelves or draws for clothes, there was enough hanging space. And also the bathroom fan is super noisy if you are wanting to be in there without needing the fan but needing the light on. Also had decent mirrors in the main room and bathroom with good lighting. Very pleasant décor, no light through the curtains. I would highly recommend the Thai restaurant Buddha Stix which is right next to the motel. it is not part of the motel but we had very good wait staff who cooked promptly as we were short on time. Meals were very good and decent sizes and a very good menu. Parking was easy especially if you got in before they were full, just given a chit to put on the dash. Only met one lady and she was very pleasant and did me a big favor when I found I needed some printing done. Would have loved to have met the cat! Would highly recommend this motel as a place to stay and very handy location. Not to far from the stadium either, we taxied there for $20 in a corporate cab and walked home. We went out to Careys Historic hotel for lunch on our 1st day and highly recommend that also. A we way out but filled in the morning.

Cable Court Motel

North Dunedin|1.71km from Kuri / Dog Statue
This motel offers good flexibility for cancellations which was our biggest deciding factor in staying there as we were travelling down for my hospital treatment and needed to be able to stay somewhere we could tweak the dates to stay if for some reason the hospital postponed the treatment start. At this point All seemed to be well in terms of the service we received over the phone during the booking process, we booked asking for very specific requirements for our rooms and we felt at the time of booking the understanding of these needs by the host seemed to be all very good and understood. We also rung the day before we arrived just to clarify that our rooms were as requested still and reminded we had very specific needs due to medical and health reasons and again we were reassured that all was as requested. Well we got a real shock fast when we arrived at the motel and found that none of our booking requirements had been met at all for either my parents room or for ours. :( We had requested the wheelchair accessible room for my parents, and second a ground floor unit for us. .We had asked that our room was placed downstairs near to my parents who were to be in the wheelchair unit as I have 2 autistic children , and suffer a brain tumour (reason I was there for treatment and had my parents there to help) and my mobility for stairs/seizures at random times makes it extremely agonising to navigate stairs let alone dealing with the special needs children who have very little danger understanding with heights so it was so anxiety inducing at a time that was already very scary for me to find that we had been placed in an upstairs unit . My parents were also NOT placed in the wheelchair room, and my disabled mother had to climb steps and not be able to use her wheelchair at all for 3 nights - this is hideous for someone who is a full time wheelchair user!!!!. She was not able to come up and help me with my children overnight as it was needed as she couldn't access our room! How does this happen? It actually really sucked for us all. The host was unable to rectify this situation because the motel was full, and we ended up having to make do. I don't feel like our needs were listened to or met at all and I was very frustrated at the situation and lack of help given when we were explicit on our needs when first booking, especially with also being proactive to call the day before to ensure our booking requests were being upheld. When people request certain things, either tell them you can't meet those requests or actually listen and ensure those requests are followed through when promised. There were an elderly couple in the wheelchair room, so why didn't they either tell us or them at the time of booking (whoever tried to book it last) that the wheelchair room wasn't available? I couldn't believe it. It left us feeling like they had taken our booking knowing they couldn't fullfill the requirements and hoped that it would be ok? well it wasn't o

Alhambra Oaks Motor Lodge
4.3/552 Reviews
I came down from Christchurch to visit family and was extremely pleased with my stay at Alhambra Oaks. A very positive experience overall thanks to the lovely Carolyn, who is always available for anything needed. The customer service was very good and friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean and tidy, much better than other motels I’ve stayed at in Dunedin. The location of the motel is also perfect as it is nearby to practically everything in the city. Plenty of parking in the car park. Also have a night and day within walking distance 😁Don’t have a bad word to say!! Will definitely be coming back here again! Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in Dunedin.

Bluestone on George

Very good hotel, very good location, very close to the city, to eat, stroll, can be done with two feet. There are also many Chinese food restaurants nearby, that is, it is a pity that the store is closed too early.
Superior Dunedin Apartments
4.4/522 Reviews
There were lots of great things about this place, and at the same time it's the strangest place I have stayed in! First the great things - immaculate, amazing bed and super amazing shower. Large room, All of that was perfect. Then the not so great - nothing in the room to read about where to go for food, whether any place might deliver, wanted to order breakfast and it didn't seem to be an option. Ended up googling, then not finding the place I was looking for in Mosgiel (maybe it's shut down? It was all dark) so was happy to find Countdown and a soup for dinner with some food for breakfast. Then the terrible - they say they are contactless, which is all fine in this new world. I didn't know this before I came. As a result I didn't see a soul and as a traveller from out of town who was on her own I felt a little unsafe at having no contact with anyone (even at a distance would have been OK!). It felt a bit post-apocalyptic. I was wondering if they are scared to see people! This is New Zealand and there is no COVID in the community, so it seemed a bit over the top. I had trouble locking the door (it's a European lock and the instructions weren't enough for me), so went looking for help. Rang the door bell. No reply (there was a car outside and the lights were on). Then saw a notice saying I should phone. Did that and the recorded message said no one was available to talk to me Then got a text saying ”Please text me”, did that saying I can't lock the door. No reply. I texted again asking if someone could please help me. Then I got a text back with better instructions which worked. That was the sum contact I had. If I had a serious problem would anyone have helped me? I didn't feel safe, as it felt like there was no one who would help out at all. In this regard I found the place quite unwelcoming. If they had reading material in the room with helpful info and including some warm and welcoming words, and so I could know that someone was there and actually cared, it would have helped a lot. I would have been quite happy not to see anyone, but to know they were there in the event of an emergency. So the summary - this was the most comfortable place I have stayed in for a long time. But as a single female traveller who needed some help with the room and a pointer as to where to get food on a winters night, I didn't feel safe.
Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin
3.7/5114 Reviews
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.
