There is no kitchen facilities other than a refrigerator,hot water jug , mugs and glasses. The room had a comfortable double bed and 2 side chairs. We were comfortable and slept well. The staff were friendly and helpful Car parking was provided. The building was ancient and very interesting it appeared to be undergoing a long term restoration to a former glory. Great for short term stays

The premises are clean and tidy, and you can see they are renovating. The renovations did not impact at all. Reception and cleaners all very approachable and friend. The hotel is close to the octagon, Settlers Museum and supermarket, all an easy walk. Room was comfortable with kettle tea and coffee and creamer. Also has a lovely courtyard where you can enjoy a beverage and cigarette. I will definitely stay there next time I am in Dunedin.

This hotel has seen much better days. Rooms are shabby and not well kept. The location is pretty good, though, so if you are just passing through for one night and don’t care too much about the quality issues, it’s fine.
