"Excellent stay at Commodore Motel
Impeccably clean, quiet, and ideally located with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The staff were professional and welcoming. We were thoroughly satisfied with our stay and would not hesitate to return.

"The hotel is excellent quality and probably one of the top 2 hotels in Dunedin. Very convenient car parking building right opposite the hotel and it's about a 10min walk to The Octagon for bars, restaurants and cafes. Shopping on George Street is another 3 min walk.
The reception staff were polite and friendly and they very kindly gave us our room earlier than the check-in time.
I was very impressed with our king room which is clean, tidy and spacious. It had a kitchenette, washing machine/dryer and plenty of storage for longer stays. The bathroom was modern and huge. Loved the large walk-in shower. Just a pity there wasn't any shelf in the shower to put my toiletries, only the very small soap dish on the slide rail. Missed opportunity here for a recessed wall shelf. Also would've been good to have one of those mirrors that self de-mist as the extractor fan didn't seem to do a good job of removing the shower steam quickly.
The TV only had Sky movie options instead of being a Smart TV with viewing platform options like Netflix. This is limiting as you have to start watching the movies at the set start times rather than when you want to.
Extremely soft and comfortable king bed. Loved it.
A buffet breakfast was included in the very reasonably priced room. The breakfast options were the standard hot and cold options, but all very fresh and tasty. A lovely tastefully decorated restaurant/dining area.
Highly recommended. I'd definitely stay there again. "
