Top University of Otago Hotel Reviews

The Thomas Gregg Apartments

8/10 Good

"Great space plenty of room. Free parking"

Scenic Hotel Southern Cross

10/10 Excellent

"great service, wonderful rooms, helpful and friendly staff"

Fable Dunedin

10/10 Excellent

"A delightful heritage hotel so close to the city CBD. A little bit of luxe in Dunedin with quality fittings, comfortable beds and NZ made amenities. Love the nod to its Scottish heritage with a tartan wool blanket on every bed. Also highly recommend in-house dining at The Press Club. The food and service was exceptional."

Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff, good breakfast, clean rooms but very run down hotel. Not enough staff to have bar or restaurant open except for breakfast. Good location. Needs a major update though!"

The Victoria Hotel Dunedin

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great and staff were very helpful."

315 Euro Motel & Serviced Apartments

8/10 Good

"Very helpful host. Very central location, we walked everywhere. The room was bright, and parking was adequate."

Highland House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a truly lovely place to stay. I love the heritage style and homey - yet stylish and clean - atmosphere. I've stayed here a few years ago, and I would stay here again. It's a great place to call home during my time in Dunedin. The room is a generous size and very comfortable - including a very comfortable bed, fresh beautiful linen, and a handy kitchenette. The bathroom is great, with a nice shower and tub for baths. The location is good - in-between North East Valley and the city centre, and a 20-minute walk to the University of Otago's campus. Very friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond - including helping me navigate my rental car out of the tight parking space, and offering to do up my room even when it wasn't strictly necessary. Always asking what I needed, and making me feel most welcome. :)"

Scenic Hotel Dunedin City

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for our stay."

The Stables Dunedin

10/10 Excellent

"It was so close to where we needed to be. The hill was a bit much though LOL. We really enjoyed it. Expedia never gave us the contact number of the owner for check in. Thankfully a man walking past knew her and helpfully provided her details"
