Scenic Hotel Dunedin City

Comfortable stay. Very clean and spacious. Great view looking out to the harbour on the 8th floor. We had an Executive Double Queen for a family of 3 adults. Great Reception staff, efficient and very helpful. Breakfast was basic but was part of room rate. Basement parking is very limited and parks were very very tight. Roof over most of the parking lots were very low that when you open your car hatch would be touching the roof or pipes above. Be aware if parking in the basement.

I had a great experience at Scenic Hotel. During check-in, the male staff member was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave me lots of useful information about the area, including the best places to eat, where to park, and tips for seeing the penguins. His local knowledge really helped make our trip easier and more enjoyable.The next morning, after coming back late from travelling, I asked the reception if I could check out 15–20 minutes later. The staff member on morning reception was very cool, understanding, and friendly. She happily allowed the late checkout with no issues at all.Overall, both staff members provided excellent service, and I really appreciated their kindness and helpful attitude. Highly recommend this hotel for both comfort and outstanding customer service!

The hotels on our self drive trip were nominated and for the most part very good, but Scenic Dunedin was not in the same class. Whilst clean and comfortable enough it gives the impression of being a bit "tired". The location suffers from not having an entry drive with only a barely adequate loading zone out front marked as for coaches. A coach was parked there when we arrived so we had to park across the street and wheel our bags over. There is onsite hotel parking but you have to book a space and though we tried the day before we were told no spaces available. This meant only paid street parking was available though that is free after 6pm and on Sundays. It's all manageable but it's far from convenient. Check in was 2pm and we arrived at 2.15pm to be told our room wasn't ready. It took another 30/40 minutes to get in but we could at least have free coffee in the bar to fill in time. The room was spacious and OK with double glazing to block out the worst of street noise. We had a light meal in the bar at dinner and ordered room service breakfast to avoid what promised to be a crowded dining room after the coach load of tourists. There's nothing wrong per se with Scenic, but we didn't choose it and we feel sure there are better options in the city if you're looking to book yourself.

We had an amazing time at the Scenic Hotel. Location was perfect- close to the Octagon and everything we needed. The room was very spacious and clean. Finally to top it all off, Shiela made our stay absolutely perfect. She was kind, polite and went above and beyond her call of duty. Highly recommend staying here if you are in Dunedin!

We travelled down to Dunedin for a wedding, not realising that our trip was at the same time as the uni graduation was going on, so many hotels were full of students and their families. However, our stay was totally undisturbed, peaceful and quiet. The room was very comfortable, clean, and had a lovely view of the harbour. The location is excellent, right in the middle of Dunedin and within easy walking distance of great restaurants and the lovely architecture of the city. A big thanks to Sheila who showed us great kindness and care which made our stay even better!

Enjoyed very much our stay at this friendly hotel. The chef was amazing to prepare us vegan dinner and a hearty breakfast during our stay. The salad dressing at dinner was lovely. Definitely would love to come back again! Will see you again, Chef!

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 😊

We stayed 1 night our our weekend trip to Dunedin. Lovely hotel - very helpful staff on reception, comfortable and spacious rooms, everything you could need really. They also let us check in a little early which was wonderful after a 5hr bus from Queenstown!! Would recommend.

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.
