I have had the most amazing stay, Aria on Bank was warm, clean, the staff were friendly and accommodating. I stayed here solo and felt extremely safe the entire time. I am very sad to be leaving, I will definitely be back.

The property served us well for what we needed. Was close to mercy hospital for our son’s surgery, and supermarket and gardens down the road a short walk away. Extra blankets could be handy for on couch in cooler months but was warm otherwise. Parking suitable for smaller cars.

Good quality motel at the Northern end of Dunedin CBD. Short walk to Botanical Gardens, good restaurants and picturesque buildings such as Otago University Clocktower and Dunedin Railway Station. Parking a bit tight, particularly as hotel on quite a slope (Called Bank for a reason!). Room comfortable and mezzanine floor a good use of space.

Good value a very spacious unit with separate bedroom and comfortable bed. Nice decor and had everything we needed. Husband loved both sky movies and sport on the TV. A few choices for eating within walking distance. Off the main road and easy to find. Parking available but a little tight for bigger vehicles. Would stay again
