Scenic Hotel Southern Cross

The location is fabulous. The heater was on and it made us feel welcome and cozy arriving in the dark - very cold outside. The room was very clean and spacious. Nice to have extra fleece blankets in this cold weather. Lots of pillows to choose from The shower pressure was amazing!!! Lovely extras like quality Whittaker's chocolate and cookies. Quality coffee and tea selection

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.

Tidy spacious room with good amenities at the hotel like gym, restaurant etc. It’s close to town but not too noisy at night.

The staff were so lovely and exceptionally helpful. My daughter had an operation and the staff went above and beyond to make this stressful time so much easier from the car parking to extra pillows and blankets and wee treats left in the room. Reaching out to us on our stay to make sure we were ok was so lovely, and very much appreciated.
