Check in was easy, the room was nice and it was very clean. Lots of places to eat around it. The parking is on a pretty steep hill but was doable. We would stay again.

I've been staying here for years, and the standards never slip! The property itself is quite old, but it is immaculately kept, and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The parking area is a bit cramped and sloping, but not a problem for an experienced driver.

This was a very spacious property. It was “O week” in town so it was a bit loud at night but that was no fault of the property owners. Our unit was directly on the street. The large bathroom had a “spa” jet tub. Some people might like that feature but it makes it very difficult to have a basic shower without water going everywhere.

Staff were excellent when we stayed in November 2024, but new owners taking over from December 2024 so can't comment on the future. Rooms not sound proofed at all, so can hear people talking loudly on the street and other guests going up/down stairs, etc. Luckily Dunedin closes early so no noise late at night. Bathrooms very dated and while clean need new taps, showers, etc.

Very convenient, centre of city, just walk to grocery, restaurant, ATM machine. Owner has a lovely friendly puppy, during our arrival we played with the dog for 5 minutes. Upon departure, she recommended when our journey to Oamaru, may pass by a fish village restaurant Moeraki Tarven with good food and sea view.

Great place to stay, the staff were always helpful. Stayed 4 nights. Very close to town (walking distance) and the University. Rooms were a good size. I really liked the rack for coat hangers in the bedrooms rather than a wardrobe which usually takes up more room. Would definitely stay again.

My 1 year old son and I travelled alone and her and their trainee kindly helped me with luggage and settling in. This is my first time in Dunedin and what a delight it was staying here. Staff are amazing. Family friendly; clean, warm and close to shops in walking distance. Definitely recommend and will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Alexis team for making our trip that more enjoyable.

Our check-in experience was not as good as it could be as the owner was under the pump and trying to train a new receptionist. We were left standing around waiting while waiting for owner to return. The owner later apologised for this which was good. Room was clean and comfortable, nice touch was earplugs supplied in case the tavern across the road got noisy. Easy walk into city centre, plenty of dining options close by.
