We turned up at the Scenic Hotel Southern Cross, thinking that's where we were staying, but discovered we'd been booked into this one, up the road a bit on the opposite side. It's more modern and the beds are just as comfortable and the staff just as helpful. Only sampled the wine list, so can't comment on any dining options,... More

We stayed overnight on our way back to Christchurch. Our room was large, warm and had one of the best beds we have ever slept on. Bathroom was spacious and shower worked a treat, with a removable shower head great for a thorough hair wash for the ladies. Very good Internet connection choice available and reasonably priced. We also chose... More

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Scenic Hotel, Dunedin. Very clean rooms, good heating and polite helpful staff. We were especially impressed that the day we left we were able to leave our bags and our car for while we went down the road. This was no trouble for the staff. Thanks John and Jackie

Great location as 3 mins walk to the Octagon. Bad location as spill out from the Octagon during the early hours is hard to ignore. Double glazing to the road side is a facade. Great idea but no added acoustics. Sleep well or you will be kept awake by the drunkards, bottle banging, vehicles etc. The rooms are large and... More

Our family of five stayed here for one night in connecting rooms. The rooms were modern, very clean and the beds were very comfy. The breakfast was usual hotel fare but was of a very good standard. All the staff we came across were very professional and pleasant. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Another visit to Dunedin and a stay at the Scenic Circles on Princes Street. Just can't go wrong, well appointed and enormous bedrooms. Bathrooms and showers are excellent and the front staff efficient. There is no need to eat here at all, but as a place to stay - perfect!
