Distinction Dunedin Hotel

The room we stayed in with myself and two kids under 2 and a half was brilliant. Probably more suited to a romantic getaway, but transformed into a kids play area nicely. A spacious living and bed area separated by a large couch was perfect for keeping the kids entertained. A cot fully assembled and ready to house a cranky 10 month old was a sight for sore eyes. It was fantastic to have washing machine and a dryer at my disposal for all the blessing kids leave on and in their clothes.

Room was modern and well appointed. Appreciated the washer and dryer in the bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and was included in our booking. Bed was comfortable and climate control in the room was perfect. Shower had a choice of two shower heads. Kitchenette included microwave and sink.

The hotel is a historic building and it's fantastic. The parking lot is right across from the hotel. When you check in, just give the parking card you took to the front desk to pay, it's a bit over 20 NZD per night. The room is really spacious and amazing, with a view of the coastline from one corner. There’s a washer and dryer in the room, which are super convenient to use.

Excellent location, handy to city centre, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Rooms were spotless and exceptionally quiet. Good buffet breakfast, plenty of choice. Excellent staff, friendly and helpful. Comfortable beds, good pillows. Parking was easy to access and lots of spaces available (although there were also parks available on the street).

All staff were very friendly and helpful, but the manager on duty was just exceptional! We were there partly to watch the first All Blacks match at the hotel. He helped reserve the best table in the restaurant for watching the game, and he even let us know the best time to be catching up with the players after the match without disturbing them. I can't ask for more with a staff like him. We were there with my mom and my daughter, so the mini suite with 2 rooms and a living room was perfect.
