Passable

Liked: The room was warm and clean. The night light in the bathroom and the shower.
Disliked: But the site is old and noisey with people above and beside. The rooms are small and not the best value for money.

The courtyard garden was magic!

Liked: The courtyard garden was magic! Created a lush secluded privacy to the room.Everything was spotlessly clean and fresh, the kitchenette well stocked with nice tea and coffee, and the bed very cosy indeed. I loved the aurora borealis artwork over the bed too. Thankyou to the lovely staff who went out of their way to be accommodating.I really appreciated the hotel being right beside an excellent Thai restaurant where I could get vegetarian food.I liked the location which was handy by foot to so many Dunedin features: the University Book Shop, University of Otago, the botanic gardens, the Woodhaugh Gardens, George Street shopping, the Gardens shops and so on. There was a bus stop outside to go to St Clair beach. All good!
Disliked: The heating was not on when I arrived, despite the cold evening. It was a panel heater in the room that I had to fumble with a bit to get it going.The shower head was not adjustable - a bit of a problem for a short person like me.
