Scenic Hotel Dunedin City
Brilliant room. spotlessly clean and well presented. Special shout to Brad at reception, who lent me a cell phone charger in the night when I realised I'd forgotten mine.

Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin
The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in outside of my own with a good choice of pillow size. The bathroom was clean but needs the bath removed and replaced by a new shower and the drainage was a little slow to drain. It was a great place to stay convenient and comfortable
