Check in was quick and efficient, with valet parking quickly organised. The room was clean and tidy. I was a bit concerned about noise as it was next to the lifts, but the door was solid and kept out the noise from the hallway. Only complaint was the noise from the fridge, which turned on and off during the night... More

Room was comfortable and well appointed, had a very swanky feel. Huge tv was amazing and I love the brand of complimentary toiletries they use- really good quality; they don't leave your skin/hair dry like the ones you find in most hotels (actually purchased some when I found the same brand in a shop). Was in a room directly beside... More

lovely lovely place to stay - the room we had was very well appointed and the bed, linens and pillows extraordinarily good quality. The shower was fantastic - all the little things that made a difference were covered.

We were staying in Dunedin for three nights for our son's graduation from Otago University. This hotel has the most comfortable beds that I have ever slept on in any hotel - well done!

We turned up at the Scenic Hotel Southern Cross, thinking that's where we were staying, but discovered we'd been booked into this one, up the road a bit on the opposite side. It's more modern and the beds are just as comfortable and the staff just as helpful. Only sampled the wine list, so can't comment on any dining options,... More

We stayed overnight on our way back to Christchurch. Our room was large, warm and had one of the best beds we have ever slept on. Bathroom was spacious and shower worked a treat, with a removable shower head great for a thorough hair wash for the ladies. Very good Internet connection choice available and reasonably priced.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Scenic Hotel, Dunedin. Very clean rooms, good heating and polite helpful staff. We were especially impressed that the day we left we were able to leave our bags and our car for while we went down the road. This was no trouble for the staff. Thanks John and Jackie

Great location as 3 mins walk to the Octagon. Bad location as spill out from the Octagon during the early hours is hard to ignore. Double glazing to the road side is a facade.
