First off there are two Scenics in Dunedin: this one and the other one called the Southern Cross which is two blocks away. This is a no frills hotel, valet for your car at $12/day, small, expensive restaurant (we never dined there so no review on that part), large room, with a small, portable TV, limited channels, no climate control...

We stayed here just one night for a quick trip to Dunedin. The room was large, sleeping 3 of us. The room smelled faintly of stale cigarettes. The facilities were average. The staff were ok, not particularly friendly. The good thing was the central location and price on a last minute accommodation website. Fine for a quick visit, but no... More

Typical hotel rooms. No where to park and unload bags, good position in the city though. I found hairs on my sheets and in the bathroom. To top it off I had room service and within hours had food poisoning. This was reported to management who did not seem to care. Over 5 days of my holiday was ruined because... More

We were on a tour and stayed here. The hotel is well situated downtown, within walking distance of restaurants, gift shops and retail shops. The front desk service was very good anf concierge was also good. As always, my main issue was the extra fee for in-room Internet access, although there is free WiFi in the lobby but doing private...

Had only planned to spend one night here but a late change ended up having us stay two nights. Phoned the hotel on the way and asked for an extra night and they happily obliged at the discount rate we had booked online. The room was HUGE. Guest laundry was a nice bonus so we could wash clothes mid-trip. Great... More

We stayed in Dunedin for 1 night over Good Friday. The hotel had a fantastic location - it was located within walkable distance to the Octagon and train station. While the room was clean and fairly new-ish looking, I have to say something about the bathroom. The shower stall was a small square-ish sort of stall which had doors which... More

I was here for 2nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The hotel is centrally located and is easy to spot. Nice and simple reception and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Check in/out was a breeze. I stayed at a standard room and the size was just nice. Toilet was very clean and modern. No bathtub however. Room was... More

Upon arrival, we could not find anywhere to park our car while we went inside to register. The hotel entrance is right on a corner of two main streets in the centre of the city. There is a bus stop out the front, which is in constant use, not an ideal spot to park to unload etc. There is a... More

One of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in! A massive spotless room with views over the city. A great location right in the centre of town close to everything and really friendly staff. They also do a great cooked breakfast. I would always choose to stay here. More
