Best Western Dunedin

Dunedin, the Otago Peninsula and central Otago are for us highlights of a visit to South Island. This motel is ideally located for visiting all, and handy for the bus to Portobello for a gastronomic meal, wine included, in the 1908! We were so glad we selected the Best Western. Very much for the modern man, the kitchen is equipped with a microwave, kettle, toaster and plunger - supplied were sachets of delectable coffee grounds! The wet room was well appointed, the bed, roomy and most comfortable. Staff all appeared happy and cheeryas they went diligently about their tasks. Outside, pots of well-tended flowers gave a cheery and welcoming appearance to the site. Most outstanding of all was the welcome by the man who runs the place, the man who adds that little bit extra to the welcome and enjoyment of one's stay, the man who will put himself out for a guest's benefit. For supplies, a Countdown, a large supermarket chain, is 5 minutes away, just across the road. There are many good restaurants in Dunedin, but few within easy walking distance less

Needed a room for one night in Dunedin. Wanted a king bed after too many nights in B&B’s with queens, or worse, doubles. Use Best Western back in the States often so when I found this one available, booked it. Small property, but great room: comfy king bed, quiet night sleep, good amenities, friendly staff. Located in South Dunedin on the way to the peninsula. Were able to get picked up here for an Elm Eco tour to view yellow eyed penguins, sea lions and albatrosses. less

I have stayed at this location over many years for business. It is now under new management and they treated us poorly. Check out times have changed to 7.30 am and this was not conveyed to us at check in, when we went to check out at 7.30 they were not open and were upset when we pushed the buzzer for service. The manner in which we were treated at check out was the worst I have ever seen and a very poor way to treat a customer. Will never stay again. less

Although the hotel was okay I would seriously look at new management.When I booked in I got a long rant about booking online and how unhappy he was about it. The shower was good and so was the t.v but only minimum channels to choose from. I would not stay again as check in was nasty experience. less

We were in the disabled accommodation though not disabled. The room was large and very comfortable with good facilities for self catering (microwave, crockery etc.).There was easy access to the city and the Peninsula with shops very close. The host was very helpful with suggestions for place to see, including on our onward journey. A pleasant stay. less
