The Chamberson is praised for its central location and spacious, stylish apartment-style rooms that feel clean and comfortable, with many guests appreciating easy self check-in and helpful staff when needed, though the property operates without a reception.
Parking is frequently described as limited, very tight, and at extra cost, with the entrance hard to find. Several rooms rely on skylights rather than windows, which some find claustrophobic, and a few guests experienced traffic or nightlife noise. Cleanliness is generally high, though a few noted dust, minor maintenance issues, or communication hiccups. Expect a modern, central, self-service stay with spacious rooms and tricky parking.

Is hotel with very nice… We stayed in a nest room which we loved. Plenty of space, a full kitchenette, and a nice mix of old and new with an original brick wall. The hotel is centrally located and close to everything. There is very limited parking on site but you can park at the train station which is one block away for 8NZD per day.

Very quiet, large room. Comfy bed, especially the sheets. Location is great, but parking is tight; entrance was hard to find. Front desk was extremely helpful - gave me a clog to clean my windshield; recommended Moeraki boulders en route to Christchurch. They are amazing. Thanks so much.

We were surprised that our room had no windows. Also most importantly we had very significant damage to our vehicle at the entrance to this car park. We will be lodging a dispute tribunal. The owners of this business did not respond and have had responsibility. Very poor.

Well appointed apartment with tall ceilings so felt spacious. Clean. Central city. No specified parking when you arrive so could be a frustration. We paid for the parking option but could have used public parking for free after 5. Contactless arrival so make sure to read the emails. Would stay again.

Great hotel with large rooms, separate sitting / dining area. The only issue was the carpark with so little space to get in/ out, my husband ended up scratching the car on the side while trying to get out with a hefty insurance excess to pay. Very disappointing after having such a great time at the hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Chamberson. Great location right in the middle of the city. Self check-in was okay, parking was okay but low ceiling does really restrict size of vehicle. We had a mid size SUV and no issues.

The Loft apartment was fabulous! The car parking in the basement was the most difficult to get in or out I have ever experienced. Don't drive anything big and make sure you have someone else to help direct you first time. It is VERY tight.

The room was clean, nice and comfortable. Easy check-in and check-out process. However, it would be good if they inform us earlier with regard to the parking reservation. I have to park along the street instead.

It was very modern inside & very minimalistic. However not a lot of shelf space to put belongings on. Bathroom skirting & corners of mirror very dusty as was the bedroom. Found it difficult to find hotel & carpark, which is seperate to hotel & not very wide entrance as well as steep - wouldn’t say secure, as anyone could walk in to carpark.

Nice apartment well appointed. Arrived to find dirty dishes in dishwasher. After a poor nights sleep due to uncomfortable pillows and quilt too hot I spoke to concierge who thankfully gave us 2 new pillows and a blanket and apologised for the dishwasher issue. Easy checkin and out overall a good place to stay but hard to find parking not in metered zones.

Beautiful apartment with everything you need for a short stay! Surprisingly quiet given the proximity to the Octagon. Easy access to both apartment and separate car parking. Comfortable bed, warm apartment. Communication very clear and precise. Easy to book, easy to stay. Only recommendations would be to ditch the thin shower head for a round one. Maybe get the cleaners to do a wee dust in those area most people don’t look. Beautiful apartment.

Property in a very good location and fairly easy on street parking (at a cost). The room in the attic was nicely finished but (as we were warned) had no windows and just a skylight which did feel a little claustrophobic. It also had the smallest fridge I have ever seen - could have done with something larger (there was the room for one)

Despite being a self check in hotel all went well. Instructions are clear and accurate - but read instructions carefully. Great location, quiet, very good AC but takes a little while to cool the large loft-like space. Impressive modern industrial design but dark colors throughout can make it hard to see things. Great service. Would definitely stay again.

Had tickets for a performance at the Regent, which was a few minutes walk away, and the dining establishments were numerous and close by. It is a self check in, which works well, just be sure to read your email for door codes and parking information. Cleaning staff is available in the morning only. No staff on site, during the afternoon or evening.

The apartment was large and very stylish, the kitchen was fabulous, bed extremely comfortable and the location could not be beat. We would highly recommend staying at The Chamberson and if we travel back, we will definitely stay there again!!

Here’s a polished and more fluid version of your review: We were dropped off right at the doorstep by the airport shuttle in central Dunedin, which was so convenient. The hotel kindly stored our bags while we explored, and we popped into Maggie’s, one of the many charming cafes surrounding the area. Our room was lovely—tucked up in the eaves, it featured a large, comfortable bed, hot drink facilities, and a gorgeous ensuite complete with luxurious toiletries and fluffy towels. For dinner, we headed to the Octagon, a perfect spot with its many bars and restaurants. We enjoyed a delicious meal and a relaxing drink in this vibrant setting, just a short walk from the hotel. When we returned, we closed the skylight, making the room so dark and cozy that we slept for hours—absolutely perfect! For this price point, it was an excellent experience overall.

Choose this property for it location in proximity to the Octagon. Had tickets for a performance at the Regent, which was a few minutes walk away, and the dining establishments were numerous and close by. It is a self check in, which works well, just be sure to read your email for door codes and parking information. Cleaning staff is available in the morning only. No staff on site, during the afternoon or evening.

Really nice room, exactly as described and in the pictures. Really well located. The only thing we felt was missing was a small Bluetooth speaker for music. Otherwise great and would definitely stay again.
