Detailed Reviews
Easy walk to the Stadium! Easy flat walk to the cdb. Rooms on the smaller size but okay size bathroom. Bathroom has a non noise cancelling sliding door :) Great Shower pressure. Older style power key that has to be put into a socket to get power which is a bit annoying to carry around with you. Full Sky Tv selection which is great. Fridge in the room with tea and coffee etc. No Air Con in the room. Super friendly staff made us feel very welcome. One of the best in North Dunedin.

We stayed 3 nights in an upstairs family unit and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The location is fantastic, only 15min walk into the city with supermarkets and restaurants nearby.
Plenty of free onsite parking and also a guest laundry for a small fee.
Carolyn is very friendly and helpful and goes out of her way to make you feel at home.
Housekeeping is done every day and the rooms are spotless ... Thankyou.

The motor lodge is quite well located in a quiet part of Dunedin near Otago University. Easy walk into Dunedin, the Botanical gardens, and supermarket. Large room, with a good heater! (a cold few days), a decent kitchenette and comfortable bed). Everything was clean and well maintained. Caroline is very welcoming and friendly, managing the Motel to a high standard of service. Very helpful in advising on places to eat and tour options and nothing was too much trouble. Really enjoyed the stay and would do so again because of ther location, quality of service and value for money. Well done caroline and thank you.

This is a lovely motel that I chose for its location close to the Otago campus. The rooms and furniture are clean and tidy and the owners are friendly and helpful. It's within short walking distance to bars, cafes and other eateries and not much farther to the Octagon (15 minutes). The traffic starts early, but isn't too noisy because of the speed limit on Great King Street.

The rooms were excellent & serviced daily & friendly host. Location in Dunedin was perfect for visiting the sites or accessing the main routes to get to the beaches such as St Kilda & St Clair & the Otago Peninsula. It was only a walk or a short drive to the CBD & shops & cafes, the stadium, museums & the Botanic Gardens.

The lodge is conveniently located in a walking distance to all major attractions, Otago university and restaurants. The receptionist was very friendly and courteous. Our room was small but tidy and spotless. The motel looks great from outside. The ground floor room itself was super clean but very small and rather dark. The internet signal was quite weak. It was a good choice for one night stay.

My favourite place to stay in Dunedin by far. The rooms are always clean, comfortable, and have everything you need and the location is very convenient for walking and getting around the city. The owner is really awesome to talk to and is very accomodating to the guests. If I’m coming to Dunedin, I’ll always choose this place.

Was lucky enough to stay at the Alhambra Oaks. We're picky and have young children and high standards of cleanliness. This didn't disappoint. We were greeted by the owner, who was super friendly and the kids loved her. Was showed our room which was spacious and very clean. The location is great- right by the university and the centre of town, but still quiet enough at night. There's a field across the road which the children loved, and lots of dining options. You don't even need a car. Whatever we needed, the owner was happy enough to supply for us. We've been to lots of places around the country and this motel felt like we were staying with family it was so great!

We stayed at Alhambra Oaks Motel recently and I must say we were very impressed. The motel is very well located near the stadium and university, and only a short walk to cafes and restaurants in the CBD. The business owner Carolyn was genuinely very friendly, welcoming and helpful with all our needs. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Our room was very well presented, clean, and the bed was comfortable. There was ample parking, and altogether the whole experience exceeded our expectations and the price was more than reasonable. We will be back again soon!
