“What this hotel may lack in polish, it makes up for with personality, particularly in its lively weekend entertainment. The proximity to St. Kilda Beach is a definite plus, placing you steps away from Dunedin's shoreline and attractions, and the on-site restaurant means a satisfying bistro meal is always within reach. For a traveler prioritizing location and a bit of local flavor over pristine facilities, this could be a worthwhile choice.”
