Dunsandel Holidays from NZ$509

We ended up booking very last minute and didnt check in until about 11pm. The staff were so incredibly nice and told us not to worry about checking out at 10am the next morning, and just to make sure we had enough sleep. So thoughtful and kind. Great location in Riccarton, very clean and tidy.

A very spacious room, with a comfy bed, great air con, and a nice little kitchenette. The room was spotless, barely heard a sound from other guests or outside, and all the staff were nice and friendly. Easy flat walk to anywhere central!

Well run, practical hotel, clean, everything hassle free

Lovely host, extremely accommodating.

I got in late at night, the lady on the desk was lovely. However, when I went to my pod I couldn’t even use the locker as the other travellers had left their luggage completely blocking and clothes were hanging on the ladder to the top where I was assigned. I moved to a private room for $355 NZD, which is overpriced for a 1 star hotel room. My carpet had clearly been vomited on or something, it was badly stained and the entire carpet was so dirty. Linen was clean thankfully, and the staff were helpful and friendly. If you’re ok with the hostel style it’s a good value, for me it would have been much less expensive and significantly nicer to stay at Novotel.
