Scenic Hotel Dunedin City

I had a very pleasant stay. The room was nice, clean, modern and met my requirements sufficiently. The beds were comfortable. Located in the city center, handy to everything that I needed access to. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again 😊

Handy location, just a few minutes walk to the octagon. Great beds, super comfy. Didn’t try the in-house dining or bar, but looks reasonable for the hotel class. This isn’t the most modern hotel but it is clean, it is spacious and it is comparably cheap when pitched against the Distinction or the Fable. Wifi is ok, not super fast, but you can work comfortably. Not for heavy graphic applications, struggles a wee bit. Otherwise I’d describe it as dependable, if you’re just looking for a bed, you can’t go past these guys.

Excellent accomodation right in the city heart, one bedroom suite was large and bedding very comfortable. Unfortunately didn’t have self contained cooking or washing facilities but laundry available at a cost. All staff were friendly and efficient. Parking is an issue as is finding the car park entrance, very limited spots. Ensure you book. So close to good restaurants and pubs, easy walk. Excellent central heating which we very much appreciated. Would stay again. Only issue was the balcony on our top floor unit had no coverage at all, unable to use if it rains.

OUTSTANDING SERVING- There was a lovely lady in the Dunedin hotel and she was amazing. Served with her heart and I’m so gutted I didn’t get her name but she will know. The kindest thing to be done. I asked for some filter water and she insisted to take my drink bottle and asked me if I wanted ice ect and she did it all for me. So so sweet! If you stay anywhere like a hotel ect the service should be the minimum of what is provided and this lady did that and more. Helped us with all we needed. Only one thing I would note to make better is the bathroom shower curtain had a few large spots of blood stain on it which made it look unclean. Just note if it’s like this to maybe be bleached? It was a little loud from the street but we were 6 floors up so it was strange to hear so clear the busses and cars and people on the street. It was doable though! Thanks team

The hotel is centrally located and the first impression was good. It is large, has good coffee and tea, and I really like having all the different cup options.||The bed is quite comfortable||I can nitpick on just 2 things. The first is the lack of charging station next to the bed. The second is the weird thing in my shower where I had 2 shampoos and 1 condition but no body wash.||The food at the attached restaurant was good. Staff at the front desk are excellent.

After two months in Europe, I recently flew to Dunedin for work. Is the Scenic the flashest hotel in the world? No, it is not. But the staff were all super friendly and accommodating which I and my jet lag really appreciated. Close proximity to the Octagan is super handy and the enormous room was a great place to chuck everything out of my three suitcases and repack. Fa'afetai lava, Scenic staff.

A Great Stay! The staff were absolutely lovely and very accommodating. I had a late afternoon flight and requested a late checkout - they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable until my airport pickup. I was even able to finish off some work by the fireplace, which was such a nice touch. 😊 Would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Dunedin!

Wonderful location, the room was spacious, and staff on the front desk were nice. The breakfast service though is the worst I’ve experienced with a hotel. They appeared to be under-staffed, with there not being enough food at the buffet and there being dishes strewn across the tables from previous guests. We had to clear the tables so that we could eat at them, there were no utensils available (though I found a teaspoon to eat my bacon with), and then the coffee machine didn’t work (there wasn’t any milk). The wait-staff also handled the food with their hands (no gloves) and ate from the buffet while we were there (rather than grabbing and eating their food while in the kitchen).

Finally! After staying at many hotels during our trip in NZ, we found decent bed and pillows here to have a comfortable sleep through the night! Very grateful! The location was perfect! Walkable to Octagon, Otago Museum, train station and university. Our room was spacious and well furnished. The breakfast provided was simple but ok. The only frustration was the WiFi which was soooo bad that it was not acceptable! No excuse!

The Scenic Hotel is located in a convenient spot on Princes St., not a long walk from shops (including the Meridian Mall), restaurants, and a few sights. The rooms are nice, clean, and spacious, and there are very good views from the upper-floor balconies. The staff members were friendly and helpful.
