Managers were very thoughtful from the checking-in process and right through our stay. Traveling with elderly parents we were upgraded so at least one bedroom was on the same level as the bathroom. Basic decor but how much time do you spend in the actual motel? It had all we needed plus more.The view from the 2nd floor was amazing.... More

We had plenty of space it was more like a small apartment.It was clean but tired and could do with the bathroom and kitchen area updating. The double bed was upstairs in the mezzanine area which was fine unless you needed to visit the bathroom in the middle of the night! The property is very attractive from the outside but... More

We stayed in Dunedin for the Test cricket, so picked the Aberdeen because of its location - a lovely 20 minute walk through the Botanic Gardens to the ground. The unit had plenty of space, and two good double rooms. It didn't get much light, and the decor was quite dark and gloomy, which I didn't like, although it was... More

The hilly section was a challenge for parking. The upstairs/downstairs was compact and comfortable. Close to central city. Nice people, helpful with local knowledge. The view from the top bedroom was rather nice.

On the edge of the city and near the botanic gardens we thought it would be quiet, but no, its on the main road coming into town so trucks & buses pass & several big street lights so can't have the window open & curtains back on a warm night. Beware! This is a Uni city with lots of uni... More

Booked this motel as it was the only one that could give us 2 nights when booking on the day of arrival. Luckily they let us out of our second night with out charging us. The place is seriously in need of a refurbishment. Our double bed also needed upgrading as it had the roll together feature - not one... More

I booked this motel on-line through the kiwi fly buys points. Straight away when I rang to upgrade to a room with a bath, fully prepared to pay the extra, I struck a lovely young lady on the first time of speaking by phone, who told me no booking was coming through on their end, but because I, had conformation...

I am sorry but you definitely were looking at the wrong web-site when you booked your accommodation with the request for a bath. Aberdeen Motel do not have any baths in any of our units and do not advertise as such, so unfortunately we were never able to help with your request for a unit with a bath. It is... More

Stayed back in April 2012. Great location for North Dunedin. Handy to Dunedin Botanic garden, Baldwin Street (steepest street) and supermarket. Ideally situated to visit our daughter who is at Uni. Would recommend as reasonably priced motel to stay.

I stayed in both Unit 1 and 2. My only real complaint was the road noise, but that was really the only issue. The upper loft/mezzanine with the queen bed was a great way of separating lounge/food from sleeping. I also was in (briefly) one of the back units. While it was quieter, I really didn't like the idea of... More
