The room was shabby, springs had gone in the bed. Not a comfortable night at all.

It was close to a conference I was attending. And inexpensive. It’s old and rundown. I sat on the floor of my room and as my hand slid across the carpet, two hairs stuck to it—a short dark one and a long blonde one. Upon closer inspection, the carpet really needed a good vacuuming.

Spacious room close to everything
The staff were all helpful and friendly, the room was large but dated but had everything you needed. Laundry facilities were free which was great since we were on a 3week trip. Located close to downtown but also close to Otago University.

The staff there were very helpfull. When I was told that I had to leave my dogs inside my truck because no animals were allowed in the guest house I asked to up grade. This was done at a very good price and allowed me to have my dogs inside. A huge thank you to the staff. They also helped me find my way around Dunedin. Would stay again if they would have me and my dogs.
