Location!

We spent 3 nights staying at the Law Courts Hotel late February. Excellent location in Dunedin - walking distance to almost everything. Staff were very helpful and everything was easy. Parking in private car park, and a wonderful Dining Room. Thank ytou!

8/10 Very good

The old decour was a problem in places but gave the place character. Staff were very friendly and efficient room was clean and had all you would expect
Nigel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s an old building with charm and character. Well situated to the Octagon and other city tourist sites. Parking on the street. Rooms and beds are small but adequate. Appeared to have a well patronised restaurant. Lovely aromas greeted you at the door. The doors and lift shut earlier than advised.
Mary, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Close to Octagon only 2 blocks and restaurant and bar downstairs but rooms are very small and dated you need to sort out the water pressure very poor

6/10 Good

Unfortunately, the room was a lot smaller than it appeared online and less updated. Staff were nice and accommodating, very good location and comfy bed but the room and bathroom needs some more updating so don’t expect too much.
Susie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is looking very tired, I hope that someone goes around with white paint and a paintbrush before the FIFA Womens World Cup to freshen it up or there will be unhappy guests. How about also repricing breakfast to include Tea/coffee?
KDJ, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property definitely feels tired and due for renovation. The soundproofing between rooms and floors isn’t great, and my bathroom had rot in the woodwork around the shower, that looked to have gone under the lino. But the room was big and the bed was comfortable, and the location is excellent - it just needs some time and money spent on it.
Jacqui, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room itself was clean and street noise was fine, it was noisey guests coming and going ALL night a noisey guests in room next door laughing and partying loudly between 2-4am. It truly wrecked my nights sleep and next day as I was so shattered. Would not stay again.
Shelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Position is excellent. Excellent information of how to get into the hotel when I had got in after a late flight but no information in the room about WiFi number. Bathroom seriously needs updating. The bath had areas of where coating had come off and a brown stain around it. Glass around the shower had mould. Toilet needed repetitive flushings.
Ngaire, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here. Terrible. Rooms tiny no room for suitcases and people together. Shower was stainless steel made you feel like you are in the morgue. Bathroom full of mould. Owners are Chinese and have not put a cent into renovating this place to make it nice. The only good thing is the location. Would not put anyone in here.
wendy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Seriously in need of renovation. Parts of the "room", its the size of a jail cell (no exageration) are held together with cellotape. The shower is so tiny my shoulders touch both sides, and when I asked for a glass of ice water be sent up or a menu, I was told to come down the bar and get it! No concept of service. Three good points, the pulled beef burger was high quality and delish, the bar and reception staff very nice (2 young ladies) and a good central location.
Michael, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Kind of gross.

Bar/restaurant on first floor - seems fine, we did not try. Room has definitely seen better days! The carpet is old and dingy and the windows don't lock. There is no way to control room temperature outside of opening a window onto a scary fire escape. We had a giant spider in our bed. Did not take shoes off.
Eir-Anne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was good apart from the toilet water running all night. The other rooms basin had so many breaks in it it was not safe at all. One website had Free parking, another had parking for $20. When booking the hotel we were told we couldn’t reserve a park yet when we arrived we were told others had reserved carparks and that none were available. Miraculously then we were found one and charged $25 which contradicts other websites. Definitely not the greatest service.

2/10 Poor

So disappointing. Very dirty bathroom. Dust and dirt piled up over weeks, not been cleaned. Someone else long black hair on the floor, hole in wall, dirty cupboard, not been cleaned. Was actually disgusting. I was shocked. Got offered a free breakfast! No words.
Antonia, 1-night trip
