Stayed here in January whilst joining my husband on a business trip. I chose to stay here, and this was a different place than he normally stays while on his own travelling. Although spending a little more than he would normally spend on a bed for the night. I got a great rate on wotif.com which included breakfast for us... More

The most noticeable aspect of our stay were the outstanding and very genuine staff - without exception in every aspect of this business. Thanks so much. The room we stayed in was quite small with a king sized bed and very well appointed. Lovely sheets and a comfortable bed. Towels a bit old and unfortunately the water pressure in the... More

This is my first time staying at Scenic hotel chain & I am glad I chose this hotel. It is south of the Octagon, less than 10 minute walking (leisurely) distance. Most of the shops and restaurants are north of the Octagon. I chose this hotel because of the Casino which is connected to the hotel. There are 2 wings... More

Not to bad. Room was looking at a brick wall not that pleasant . Tv was not good at all reception crap and volume was up and down. Wasn't impressed with having to pay $11 for parking overnight! Lady at reception on arrival needed to be a little nicer( it did seem like it was nearing the end of her... More

Beautiful old façade close to the city centre of Dunedin. Behind the façade is a modern hotel with quite standard hotelrooms. The room has standard facilities and is minimalistic, but tastefully decorated. The large king size bed is very comfy and a few steps above the luxury what you normally find in hotels. A pillow menu is available. The bathroom... More

We stayed for a night unexpectedly and found the hotel to be great. The rooms were tidy and comfortable but the highlight without a doubt as others have mentioned are the beds! If you could actually lay on clouds I think they would feel like these beds. By far the most comfortable beds I have slept on in any accommodation,... More

Great Location - Everything was within walking distance. The bed was "Fantastic" Very Very comfortable. We all having problems sleeping. I could not believe that I feel asleep 15 mins after hitting the sheets. In the morning I ripped the bed apart to find out what the secret was. The pillows, featherbed topper - you can't go wrong. Not having... More

I must admit...I stayed here to be at the Casino. Didn't expect much other than the standard ... however was very pleasantly surprised! I was met (by chance) by one of the front of house staff in the car park, and he carried my bags to my room. The room was amazing with beautiful views over the bay. It was... More

Front desk / customer service were excellent, really welcoming, efficient, friendly and went out of their way to adjust to changing travel plans (Renee and Michael). I felt instantly at home, thanks to such friendly service. Good facilities, pleasant clean room (although quite small for a King). Prices for this hotel seem to be quite variable, but for $150 per...
