You cannot beat this stunning location, it trumps everything. The ocean is stunning, the hotel is clean and comfortable.

I booked a month in advance and requested rooms next to each other, when I checked in the rooms were on seperate floors! The receptionist was lovely and rang her manager to request upgrading us to be near each other, this meant although I had booked two ocean view rooms one now had a view of a carpark and a bit of ocean, but was bigger and had a balcony so I guess it evened out, the other room had no balcony and it does say there are two with, two without and it is first in first served, however I did book a month in advance and was surprised not to get one. We have stayed here three times now but there was no recognition of that which is a bit disappointing. Otherwise the location makes it worth while!

The room felt luxurious. The carpet was very soft. Chairs were very comfortable, lovely sturdy table and nice bench space. Loved having a bath and the shower pressure was excellent. Loved the view from the room and having parking underneath. Was lovely being right next to the lovely restaurant.

The bathroom door wouldn't stay shut unless you slammed it. The toilet buttons were extremely hard to press down. The heat pump made a weird static noise during the night. The coffee cups were small and different shapes which seemed odd.

The location overlooking the sea is fabulous, and the main selling point of the hotel. The apartment rooms were spacious and generally well appointed. Underfloor heating in the bathroom a bonus. Double-glazing kept out street noises but we could still hear the muffled comforting sound of the sea. Parking onsite another bonus.

Because we needed an extra bed, I asked for a rollaway bed to be placed in the room. It was sagging, a paper-thin mattress, so hard and uncomfortable that I ended up sleeping on the couch. We couldn't wash dishes because of no washing-up liquid in the bottle, we had only one small soap, and 1 extra toilet roll. These are just small matters, but they count in a place advertised as 'luxurious'. Parts of apartment getting a little tired on it from wear and tear, but no real distraction from the benefits of the accommodation.

It was a comfortable studio apartment. There were two restaurants in the hotel (one open for breakfast and lunch and the other open for dinner). The restaurant open for breakfast and lunch gave a 10% discount if you were staying in the hotel. There were other restaurants just down the street as well. The promenade and beach were right across from the hotel. The beach was a nice long one too. They also had on site parking that was free. The Octagon was less than 15 minutes by car and Larnach Castle on the Otego Peninsula was 20 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay there very much!

We have no complaints.

Spent quite a bit of time in my late teens and earlier in St Clair and then 7 years ago worked on the building down the road and thought next time I’m here I’m going to book in there. Your place. So I did it was fantastic the views to die for. I had 2 different apartments on different nights, they both had a lot to offer. The big room was very cool. The beds were so comfortable. Really enjoyed it, thankyou.

The only thing is the showers, how the water runs outside all over the floor.

The hotel is set in a fantastic location, right next to the beach. The staff were great upon our arrival and our room was excellent. We had a nice ocean view from the balcony, the room was clean and well appointed. Our bed was very comfortable and the shower was good. There was onsite parking available and a few nice restaurants and cafes nearby. We were given complimentary tickets to the heated seawater pool about 150m from the hotel which we made use of. It was easy to get to the Otego Peninsular, the Albatross Centre and central Dunedin.

Nothing

This property is superbly located, the staff are lovely and helpful. The parking easy and adequate, the 'extra's' great value (discount at the cafe, access to the outside pool). However the poor place has seen better days in its upkeep; some of the electrical outlets were not working, the guest pamphlet was tatty and worn, with curling pages, cracks in the tiles, etc. Could use a wee facelift, and upgrade and it would be magnificent.

Next time I will get a room with a view.

The view and size of the room was awesome, staff were friendly and accommodating. Close to the salt baths and a little playground, also good handful of shops just down the road. Being able to just look out at the beach so close up from the balcony is amazing.

Thought the room is a bit dated for the price. I would expect a more modern TV and TV size, the bar fridge was freezing our items, so again for the price point a refresh of these room items wouldn't be expensive, and is probably needed.

What a lovely place to stay. The staff were very friendly and obliging. They even allowed us extend checkout by an hour The room was very clean and quiet and the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed we have slept in for a long time. The view was amazing and the location is awesome. Will certainly be visiting again.... Thankyou

There was nothing we were unhappy with .

Rite by the beach with sea views as I got an upgrade Great underground parking easy access Nice toiletries and enough towels Sheets and pillows were great The man that checked me in was super nice and helpful. Quick elevators and last bit least no noise at all I usually stay in town and I get woken up super early with doors slamming and people talking, toilets flushing it’s super loud I never heard another guest the entire stay
