This was one of the best hotels we stayed at as a family with young kids. The rooms are beautiful and clean and we made a lot of use of the kitchenette. We will definitely suggest this place above all others. Only suggestion would be to have more plant based options for the restaurant.

We had a fantastic stay at Distinction Dunedin Hotel. The location is excellent, making it easy to walk to the city's main attractions, restaurants, and shops. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made us feel right at home. The hotel has great amenities, with comfortable, well-appointed rooms and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. One of the highlights was the full buffet breakfast, which offered a great variety of fresh, delicious options and was the perfect way to start each day. Overall, a wonderful hotel with outstanding service in a convenient location. We'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dunedin.
