Quest Dunedin

Quest Dunedin

10/10 Excellent
"I wished I could have given the friendly and helpful woman at front desk more than 5 stars! She was so nice and welcoming. The room was very comfortable and spacious. Nice hot shower and comfy bed. The room had been heated before I got there which was a nice touch. There was a guest laundry just beside my room with good washing machines and dryers that was free to use. I really enjoyed complimentary entry to the nearby gym - which was really well equipped including a sauna. Quest is 1 minute walk from supermarket and 5 minutes walk to a great range of cafes restaurants and bars."
