    Nice Place for a Drink

    We dropped into the Law Courts Hotel after having walked around the sights of Dunedin. Staff were really friendly and my husband decided to have a Guinness. Beer was great, atmosphere nice and the lounges comfortable.

    We paid a premium price for our stay and were totally ripped off. The room was tiny, damp and cold even with two heaters going. Really noisy and virtually no parking available- avoid at all costs. This is the scenic view from our room

    Their bathrooms are simple but clean. The showers are good. No air con that I saw but you won't need it in Dunedin with their lovely big windows.
