For the money you pay this hotel was very good. We stayed in a studio room and it was quite small however was better than expected. The staff were friendly and there is a shared kitchen that can be used.

This fills a niche for travellers like me who want something a bit comfier than a backpackers but can't afford a posh hotel each night. Location is max 10 mins walk from main street and OCtagon. GOod choice of restaus and supermarket nearby. Room spotless. some of rooms have bed pushed against one wall so one of you has to clamber out. Bed is good size and comfy.

On the first stay we had a room on front road which suffered from road noise and from industrial building opposite so try to ask for one further back;.. we got a much better room on second stay here.

Communal lounge areas comfy and nice idea for people staying longer term. I think we paid 90$ per night room only and were happy with size of room and facilities.

By far the least favourite of all the 18 places we stayed on our 'big tour of New Zealand'. Maybe we just misinterpreted the description on the web.

The converted building was a maze of corridors, & we finally found our room - which had corridors on 3 sides, & it seemed that everyone staying that 1 night walked past at some time.

Bathroom: a 'pod' built into the corner - see the picture! Everything in there, & not a lot of room to manoeuvre. The towels were OK, shower powerful, but the door doesn't fully shut - there is a 6" gap between shower & other area, so water splashes out.

Main room: poor lighting, very high bed, so had to clamber up. Set across room under the window, so whoever gets the window side has to clamber over the other person if they want to get up in the night......

No wardrobe. No hairdryer.

TV is wall mounted at foot of bed, so have to sit on bed to view. 2 seater sofa: cushions comfortable, but back is hard.

Linens - clean, fresh & plentiful.

Wooden blinds at window - didn't keep light out. View over disused buildings.

Got the impression all the furnishings came from Ikea.

Car park - limited 1st come, 1st served parking at rear. We couldn't get in, but the receptionist gave us a pass to an indoor garage under the building - the entrance is narrow & getting in/out involved several shuffles in our Ford Focus.

Wouldn't stay again.

We didn't spend too much time in the room as it was quite small but that was all we needed as we were only staying one night. Good facilities for preparing breakfast & lunch with a large common room on each floor if you wanted to do a bigger cook. It was clean and close to nightlife, restaurants and the centre of Dunedin. Good off street parking and relatively easy to find.
Was a bit stuffy to start with but we opened the window while we went out for tea and that was enough to clear the room.
