We had an awesome family holiday in Dunedin and Alhambra was a big part of us enjoying our time. The owner was friendly and kind and we like the room so much we extended our trip by one night so we could enjoy it for longer. She was very accommodating. There's plenty of free parking on-site and it was an easy walk to the stadium and local restaurants etc. Even our primary aged kids found the walking distance OK. We will definitely come back to stay again. Thank you.

Perfect stay for our family of four. We booked the room with a separate room for the kids. Had a small spa bath which was perfect for the little ones. Very clean and tidy. Was close enough to town and hospital. Our two year old was having surgery during our stay and our room was sooo quiet, perfect for helping our wee one get some sleep after a big day.

Room was adequate for our stay. Serviced with fresh towels and refreshments replenished everyday. Even though the bed was clearly older, it was still very comfortable. Location was perfect for us, but if you're wanting somewhere closer to the city, there are others to choose from. My only disappointment was the lack of sound proofing between our room and what was clearly a co-joined room next door.
