The breakfast exceeded our expectations. The staff were professional and caring. The rooms were part of refurbished stables and in keeping with the period. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. A very pleasantly unique experience. The 4 course dinner in the castle was relaxed and delicious. A great experience

The accommodation is perfect. The hostel's location is unbeatable. Just a 10-minute walk takes you to the city center. The surrounding area is super safe, with plenty of free and secure parking. By car, you're just 5 minutes from the most popular supermarkets. You can go for a leisurely walk through the area's parks, as well as to the city center, and you'll always feel safe. As for the facilities, everything is absolutely new and spotless. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. There are plenty of bathrooms, and they're always clean and fully equipped with soap, hand towels, and hair dryers! The showers have hot water and excellent water pressure, and plenty of space for everyone who wants to use them. It has many very comfortable seating areas with new, super-comfortable armchairs, ideal for relaxing with your laptop or cell phone undisturbed. The kitchen is something never seen before. All the cutlery, glasses, cups, and pots and pans are brand new. Plenty of space to cook, and above all, the necessary utensils. A microwave, oven, toaster, French press coffee maker, and all the kitchen utensils you could need. The best thing about this area is that it has a beautiful view of the street with large windows that allow you to enjoy your coffee in complete relaxation. The TV area is wonderful. The TV is state-of-the-art and allows you to watch all the streaming platforms while reclining or sitting on the new armchairs. It's also an excellent area to read a book or chat with the other tenants. One of my favorite spaces. At the same time, everything mentioned above has a classic and impeccable style that gives off an air of tranquility and comfort that I've rarely experienced in a hostel. Lastly, and best of all, is the attentiveness of the hosts. They are always attentive and willing to help with anything you need, improving and adding elements to the place to make your stay feel like being in your own home.

The location and the heritage sides are good. Something different to do and experience as a person that we don't come across that often in hotel stays, the character of a place is certainly different that sets this place apart from others. Most parts are closed and can not be accessed due to renovations. Views from here and the room I had was excellent. Must dos in dunedin nomatter what.

Lovely touches re leaving a loaf of Vogels, eggs, butter in a butter dish, condiments, orange juice and fresh milk! Many thanks. Central location close to the octagon but far enough away from the craziness and noise, and opposite a lovely green area around a church. Interior design has everything you need plus a wonderful combo of old fashioned setup with edgy touches. A special place to stay.
