Property building in Scenic Hotel Southern Cross
The staff were uniformly friendly, competent and helpful. The room was quiet and roomy enough. The heater worked well, but the controls were not easily comprehensible. The breakfast was ample, the toasting machine actually did its job, and the breakfast space was pleasant. The parking was convenient, and the location within walking distance of just about everything we wanted to see in downtown Dunedin. The blankets were the best we've experienced on our trip so far: light and warm.

Staff are friendly and helpful. We had a standard twin room which was spacious and warm - the bathroom was on the small side but OK. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We paid the room rate that included the buffet breakfast - this was great, lots of options including gluten free (my daughter is Coeliac so the fact they had a separate toaster for the gluten free bread was awesome). Close to town and easy to get to.

Cherie

It was a one night stay! The room was small but had everything you needed in it. The heater on the wall did the job of keeping us warm. Hotel is in a central location and is next door to the Casino in Dunedin. There is a restaurant a couple of doors down from hotel where we had a beautiful meal. You didn't need to book. At the end of a very long day, the receptionists were just very cheerful and helpful.

Breakfast was ok , very pleased with gluten options with toast and separate toaster. Also helpful identifying items on cooked menu that were gluten free . Not sure if there was GF cereals. Also not able to have breakfast on Sunday morning which was included in my booking as I needed to catch shuttle for my flight at 7.15, only opened at 7 , not time to eat .

The location was very central, the staff professional and helpful and the room was a decent size for a central location. The lobby and restaurant were nice. It was also quiet, our room being at the back of the building rather than overlooking the street.
