97 Motel Moray

What guests think

Across many reviews, 97 Motel Moray stands out for its central Octagon-adjacent location, consistently friendly, helpful staff, and clean, spacious rooms with kitchenettes, offering good value for travelers seeking a straightforward, convenient base in Dunedin.

The property is older and some areas feel dated, though many still found the accommodation comfortable. Parking is handy, but spaces can feel tight when busy, and several guests mentioned an aging lift and challenging access to higher floors. Room experiences vary a bit, with a few noting noise through thin walls or mixed bathroom quality, while others found it quiet. Overall, expect a budget-friendly, no-frills stay suited to practical travelers.

Access to higher levels was poor. Had to use an old lift that didn't feel safe because it shuddered and jumped. There was no loading bay so had to carry our bags up the very rough driveway for 200 metres.

Motel is very convenient tor dunedin centre. The inside is clean and comfortable however the outside gives the appearance of needing some care and attention. We arrived early and the place was not busy, If all rooms were occupied then parking would be a problem.

An older building but our room was so large and comfortable with all the necessary inclusions that it provided the most relaxing 5 days of our trip. Staff friendly and very helpful. Added bonus was cheap and convenient laundry facility. Short walk to Centre. Parking space appreciated (if a little challenging)

The room was a good size and the facilities for food preparation were reasonable, with microwave, kettle, fridge and so on included. Plenty of TV stations available. It was useful to have a small range of items available for breakfast in the restaurant and just pay for those as we checked out. The best thing is being so close to the city centre.

I got Covid-19 at the start of my stay. The motel staff went above and beyond the call of duty to support me during my isolation. I didn't get to enjoy much of the benefit of the central location, but I did enjoy a spacious, clean room with a small kitchen during my seven day isolation period. The staff called daily to check on me, offered any help I needed and cared for my welfare. I would return again to 97 Motel Moray as my first choice if I visit Dunedin again. I am a Canadian who was on a trip partly academic research and partly holiday.
