Best Hotels near Salmond College, North East Valley

Easy and quick check in. Room was lovely and spacious, separate bedroom and lounge with a small fridge/jug. Housekeeping was excellent. Location is a few minutes walk from the Octagon, a bit of a climb walking back up, but doable, even though I huffed and puffed a little 🤣. The lift isn’t the fastest, only had to wait once during our 4 night stay. Requested a late check out as my flight to auckland wasn’t until the late afternoon, which was accommodated with a smile. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Would happily stay here again.

This is a hotel with character and charm. We stayed here as a couple for two nights and shared a beautiful room with a sparkling clean en-suite. The room had a classic old-fashioned fire place (non-working) and the fine touches that you associate with Georgian or Victorian manor houses. The hosts were welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. There are only a few rooms so you have the feel of staying in a wing of a private home. If we return to Dunedin we are definitely staying here. Great value, great location and great ambience.

After reading many reviews on this site and looking for somewhere with two bedrooms we booked here. We knew there was an older part and a renovated part so we paid a little more for the newer two bedroom room. We got free parking as we booked directly with the hotel and had breakfast there in the morning. The room was excellent - all new and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went for a walk to the railway station and then to the Octogon all very close. The staff then helped us with a taxi to dinner. My nephew was unwell during the night and the staff left us say in the room a little while longer while he slept longer. They were very understanding and a great help. The only negative was the breakfast was a little dry as I think it had been sitting in the buffet for a while. It still tasted good and did the job of filling us up. We would stay and book this room again.

We stayed 4 nights in the superior King room (Room 206) during the blizzard of Oct 2022. The room and bathroom were well-appointed and stunningly presented. It looks as good as advertised. The experience was excellent from check-in to check-out. Valet parking service was prompt and exceptional value - 30NZD a day feels like a steal. Service was attentive, responsive but not stuffy. Without intending to omit anyone, Romaine/Ramon(?) in The Press Club and Lianna(?) on the front desk were particularly easy to talk to. Of the 4 fine dining dinners we had in Dunedin, The Press Club at Fable was the stand out. It was well ahead of so-called ‘hatted’ restaurants like Moiety (don’t eat at Moiety, it’s terrible). The venison rack was a highlight.

Stayed two nights at this hotel which is located right in the CBD with an easy walk to the Dunedin Railway Station and Octagon where many cafes and restaurants are located. The hotel is situated down an alleyway but instructions received in an email from the hotel prior to arrival explained in detail how to get to the hotel. Our room was a good size with a king-sized bed along with a single bed. It was clean and serviced promptly each morning. The staff are friendly and reception suggested we have breakfast at The Good Oil just across the road. Would definitely recommend this hotel to other travellers.

At this time of living, the hotel has no air conditioning, hot to burst, the room must open the door, do not open the steamer sultry... it will be better to open... the balcony is facing the garden, the garden is chasing and playing, listening and listening is clear, the balcony at night The relationship with the door open, the curtains can not be pulled, the wind can not enter, there are fear that the insects fly in, the hot heads are sleeping on the balcony... The door is driving the model car and listening clearly! It’s generally that Dunedin stayed in Christchurch the next day and basically didn’t sleep very much. Hotel location is OK, there is a botanical garden to feed the pigeons in 5 minutes, food is free to receive... Free parking!

Could not fault this establishment. The room itself was great - very spacious, modern furnishings, great amenities and spotlessly clean. The service however is what sets this place apart. After delayed flights and lost luggage we arrived in Dunedin exhausted and seriously disappointed in how our holiday had started. The lady who greeted us (I assume the owner, and so sorry we didn’t actually get a name) went above and beyond to help us and we could not be more grateful. Would highly recommend staying here if you are heading to Dunedin.

Very good hotel, very good in that location, complete and comfortable facilities, good service, good breakfast, convenient transportation, parking lot, and easy driving!

This motel offers good flexibility for cancellations which was our biggest deciding factor in staying there as we were travelling down for my hospital treatment and needed to be able to stay somewhere we could tweak the dates to stay if for some reason the hospital postponed the treatment start. At this point All seemed to be well in terms of the service we received over the phone during the booking process, we booked asking for very specific requirements for our rooms and we felt at the time of booking the understanding of these needs by the host seemed to be all very good and understood. We also rung the day before we arrived just to clarify that our rooms were as requested still and reminded we had very specific needs due to medical and health reasons and again we were reassured that all was as requested. Well we got a real shock fast when we arrived at the motel and found that none of our booking requirements had been met at all for either my parents room or for ours. :( We had requested the wheelchair accessible room for my parents, and second a ground floor unit for us. .We had asked that our room was placed downstairs near to my parents who were to be in the wheelchair unit as I have 2 autistic children , and suffer a brain tumour (reason I was there for treatment and had my parents there to help) and my mobility for stairs/seizures at random times makes it extremely agonising to navigate stairs let alone dealing with the special needs children who have very little danger understanding with heights so it was so anxiety inducing at a time that was already very scary for me to find that we had been placed in an upstairs unit . My parents were also NOT placed in the wheelchair room, and my disabled mother had to climb steps and not be able to use her wheelchair at all for 3 nights - this is hideous for someone who is a full time wheelchair user!!!!. She was not able to come up and help me with my children overnight as it was needed as she couldn't access our room! How does this happen? It actually really sucked for us all. The host was unable to rectify this situation because the motel was full, and we ended up having to make do. I don't feel like our needs were listened to or met at all and I was very frustrated at the situation and lack of help given when we were explicit on our needs when first booking, especially with also being proactive to call the day before to ensure our booking requests were being upheld. When people request certain things, either tell them you can't meet those requests or actually listen and ensure those requests are followed through when promised. There were an elderly couple in the wheelchair room, so why didn't they either tell us or them at the time of booking (whoever tried to book it last) that the wheelchair room wasn't available? I couldn't believe it. It left us feeling like they had taken our booking knowing they couldn't fullfill the requirements and hoped that it would be ok? well it wasn't o
