We spent two nights here on a "round the south island" self drive tour. The food was great, the beds comfortable and the shower superb. Staff were most helpful. Recommended. The Black Dog Restaurant next door has very good food - only complaint is too much. More

This hotel is is a great position; short walk to the Octagon. The rooms are large and clean. Downside - Have to pay for parking and internet. Even though on a high floor, there was a lot of traffic noise. Also the noise from adjacent rooms, made it difficault to sleep. More

This is a fantastic hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay the care is required because we though in fact we were booking into the other Scenic Circle Hotel - the Southern Cross and didn't realise until we went to book in - a little red faced! However we were not at all dissappointed, the staff were friendly and the... More

On the contrary to 70-80's style looking building, the interior and the room was comfortable and clean. The valet parking/guest parking was hefty (more than NZD$10), otherwise you are to park on the streets. The location was fantastic, within easy reach of everything you need. The hotel charges for the wifi, but if you walk to the ocatagon, you get... More

First impression are always important and unfortunately, the Scenic dunedin city didnt make a good one on us. We stayed for a weekend and on checkin were met by quite a rude...well, not quite rude but certainly unwelcoming and disinterested, front desk staff member. Our room wasnt ready, which is not a terrible thing itself, but he offered no apology... More

Stayed in this hotel during the World Cup. To be honest, booking with Expedia showed this to be the only hotel with vacancies, so no element of choice in the selection! The hotel was OK; certainly nothing fancy but functional, clean and spacious enough. We used it as a base - there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and... More

Apart from welcoming staff I can think of very little to recommend about this hotel. Functional best describes it. We were there during the rugby world cup and they tried to maximise their price take then but the offering never matched that. This hotel has a tired look about it that smacks of underinvestment and lack of interest by the... More
