What guests think

At The Victoria Hotel Dunedin, travelers consistently highlight its central, walkable location near the Octagon and hospital, alongside generally clean, comfortable rooms, while recurring gripes include paid, limited parking and city or construction noise affecting some stays.

Many guests praise friendly, helpful staff, though several report rude or unhelpful interactions and inconsistent information at check-in. Rooms are often spacious with comfortable beds, but some feel dated, can run warm without strong air-conditioning, and a few note patchy Wi-Fi or access quirks like stair-only top floors. On-site dining is generally enjoyed, while breakfast quality is mixed. Expect a convenient city base with mostly comfortable stays and a few trade-offs.

Highly recommend the restaurant.

We were charged $15 extra for parking. In the past this has been complimentary. We were told it's because of the booking site we used. We went for cheapest site but in the end it wasn't because of this. Just a note to be aware of this

Although we got a free upgrade to a 2 room suite unit, it is on the 5th floor that requires us to carry our luggage upand down from the elevator that ends at the 4th floor. Also ther us an ongoing construction bearby that causes the room to shake a little while there is piling going on

We felt like he was bothered with our appearance at the hotel. Other than that, the room was clean and comfortable. No complaints.

I've stayed in this hotel a lot of times, this is the worst stay I've ever had, hence gave Victoria Hotel Dunedin this review for 3 reasons: 1. Arrived almost midnight due to delayed flight, reception did one of the access card correctly. Had my daughter drop by because it's her graduation the next day. She's asking help to fix her dress. The receptionist was so suspicious that they would be sleeping over (don't know how that's going to work), and even rang the room phone after 5 mins! 2. We paid for hotel parking, and one night we came to the hotel around 10pm, and the paid parking area was full. We were asked to just park in front of the reception. Seems that they're not counting who's paid for the parking or just assumed everyone paid for the parking. 3. I've already paid when checking in, but upon checking out, the receptionist that day requested for additional payment. Luckily I've got an email trail of the final amount, I actually paid $60 more than what I should.

The website stated that the standard room came with a bathtub, but I was told that I would only get a room with a bathtub if I had made a request. (There was no mention anywhere on the website that a request was required.) The woman at the front desk was polite and apologetic, but the woman who seemed to be the manager had an unbelievably rude attitude, completely lacking in hospitality — she was so unprofessional that it was hard to believe she worked at a hotel.

We had a two bedroom apartment, which was clean, well equipped and comfortable. WiFi in the bedroom was slow, better in the lounge. We were near the laundry which was noisy but finished before 10pm. The location was excellent, walking distance to the city centre, but there was some city noise outside in the early morning (not the hotel’s fault). Parking was useful, if a bit tight for our large hire car. Staff were friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast was nice, but the continental was disappointing - the pastry selection was just a small plate of supermarket croissants. I’d recommend eating in town instead - the Corner Store cafe was very good.

My only suggestion would be to moderate the hot water temperature as this gets scolding hot and just randomly gave short bursts of scolding hot water during showers.
