Excellent service and very friendly team who work at the motel. They were so helpful and communication was easy. Rooms very comfortable and if somewhat dated in the bathroom we had it was still clean and comfortable. They also designated parks so no stress if you went out because there was park for you when you returned. Will definitely return to stay. Thanks

Our booking was a breeze, Robyn was very helpful letting me park my car at the motel before my check in because my husband was at a hospital appointment. On my return to check in for the night I caught up with Robyn again, she is a lovely lady who offered help and advise which was really appreciated. My room was really nice, very clean and the bed was great, I had a good nights sleep and would not hesitate a return visit. Thank you Robyn and John for a lovely place to stay, very handy to the hospital and eateries, I felt very safe and secure indeed.

My colleagues and I stayed at the Alexis for just on 9 months while we were completing projects in Dunedin. It was like our home away from home. Returning to Dunedin after each weekend (after being back at home) to a lovely clean room with crisp sheets and all the feel of being on holiday. At times the Alexis was felt like my happy place where I could forget the stresses of the project and just relax like I was on holiday and actually enjoy the buzz of Dunedin, it was practically a minute walk to everything and a 12 min drive to the beach. I would just turn my laptop off and go exploring. We have moved on to the next part of the project and will truly miss the Alexis especially Robyn and John who go above and beyond for the guests in every way possible. Thank you Robyn snd John and everyone who works there for making our stay as least stressful as possible and thankyou to the Gorgeous building that is the Alexis. See you next time 😀 …

Friendly and welcoming management, comfortable and well equipped rooms with some of those personal touches which show some pride is taken in this well run motel. Tight parking and access via steps make it a little harder than some, but you are in the middle of the city. There are many shops and restaurants within easy walking distance, so your choices are wide and varied from breakfast to dinner.

Thoroughly enjoyed me stay at the Alexis. The room was cosy and the bed was comfortable. the WiFi was fast which was great for working in the evening. The staff were very warm and friendly. The distance was also close the the university, labs, cafes and different takeaways. I would definitely stop at the Alexis again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Alexis Motel. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The one bedroom unit was spacious and warm with comfortable beds. The location was perfect with just a short walk into the centre of Dunedin.
