Definitely recommended.

Great location in Dunedin, plenty of eateries within close walking distance, on-site parking a bonus. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are of a good size and comfortable. Breakfast was basic but totally adequate and less than the cost of a fancy coffee elsewhere ... great value.

The property is older and perhaps outdated, but it was clean, very convenient, and the staff could not have been nicer. If you are looking for a luxurious stay, this is not the place for you, but for all others, it serves the purpose well and is conveniently located in the octagon, but not noisy.
