We washed and waiting our clothes to be dried in the dryer machine. It’s about room checkout time. The owner let us wait until the dryer completed, although it passed the check out time. We were grateful to her kindness and helpfulness very much.
Love their hot pools and amenities. Location would be 5mins driving from city. If you have car would be very convenient, I don’t think you can walk to city with this distance.
Very design hotel, good location, across the street is the mall, the only view of the hotel is the hotel interior, parking fee is 30 a night, charging is 45, it is slow charging, superior room is similar to ordinary room, executive privileges and so on confirmed but nothing, the hotel front desk told me that the breakfast restaurant is very delicious, I tried it, it only looks good, no meat, the room is spacious and bright with design, all of which are the best hotel I stayed in this trip except Auckland InterContinental, but it is more expensive than Auckland InterContinental
I recently stayed at Scenic Hotel Southern Cross and had a very pleasant experience. One of the biggest highlights of this hotel is its excellent location – it's within walking distance to many of Dunedin's main attractions, including the Railway Station, Baldwin Street (the world’s steepest street), and Queen’s Gardens. Whether you're in town for sightseeing or just want convenient access to key places, this hotel is ideally situated.
The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were warm and welcoming, making the entire stay hassle-free. The room was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable space to relax after a day of exploring the city.
Another plus is the on-site hotel parking, which is a great convenience, especially in a central location like this.
Overall, I’d recommend Scenic Hotel Southern Cross for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located hotel in Dunedin with friendly service and all the essentials covered.
Very clean and comfortable hotel. Parking a bit expensive $25 for 24 hours. Has washing machine and dryer in hotel room which is very handy! Highly recommended!
The chalet was absolutely stunning, it had gorgeous views. The staff were all fantastic, welcoming and friendly. I cannot fault a thing. My recent visit was a trip to remember!
I will certainly come back to this hotel when I visit Queenstown again. Thank you.
The front desk is a Chinese male, the service is warm, the room is clean and sanitary, it is a bungalow, and there is no noise from the second floor. It is very close to the place where you can see penguins. There is a panda restaurant not far away that is very delicious. It is great to take it back to the hotel to eat.
The room is spacious. For breakfast, there weren't any leafy green vegetables, but they had mushrooms, fruits, and the apple juice was excellent. Orange juice, pineapple juice, bacon, sausages, and fried eggs were also available. The hotel is very close to the airport, an Uber costs around 38. From the hotel, you can walk to the town center in about 10 minutes. You can take a gondola, which needs to be booked online and costs 66 NZD per person, or take a steamboat, which usually takes about 1.5 hours. It's best to catch the 9 AM trip, returning around 10:30 AM. Once you check in, you can head straight to the famous burger joint. There isn't much of a queue in the evening. The hotel's own dinner is also quite good.
the front desk staff was so nice & helpful , as well as the other hotel staff! only thing wanna say the entry to hotel basement parking is too small / narrow for a big car (we are hiring Mitsubishi outlander) so please be careful when cornering at the entrance!
overall, spacious room, comfortable bed and convenient location & check-out (just drop a key inside a box next to the roller gate if you driving!)

Very Good
SSakib009The location is just 10-12 minutes walk from Airport and car rentals are within 2-5 min drive. Service is average but facilities is good including car parking and late night checking. In my case the dishwasher was out of work and hotel doesn’t comply it for 5 days of my stay, there is no fault I seen from trip.com as their customer service was tried their best to communicate with Ramada hotel.
GGuest UserThe room is very comfortable, the facilities are complete, and the particularly good place is that there is a bathtub that can be SPA, which is so cool! The boss is from Beijing and very talkative. There is a supermarket and a variety of food nearby, which is very convenient.
GGuest UserI was really disappointed to find that the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned when I checked in. The shower area had visible stains, and the toilet was extremely dirty — there were even traces of the previous guest’s waste left inside. When I informed the front desk, they said the cleaning staff had already left and the room couldn’t be cleaned until 3pm the next day. No apology, no compensation. This was completely unacceptable and very disappointing.
::))We were thrilled to be the very first guests to leave a review for this stunning new resort! The location is fantastic, just a quick 10-minute drive to town, and our room offered breathtaking views of the Shot River, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere.
We arrived around 10 PM, and the hotel reception was impeccably prepared, warmly welcoming us and even upgrading our room! It looked exactly like the photos, with a design and interior that perfectly captured the vibe we were seeking. They had welcome drinks waiting for us, and we appreciated that milk was available on request at any time.
The breakfast was a delightful a la carte experience, featuring an array of delicious options. The serving staff was not only attentive and kind but also provided excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants!
We also indulged in room service, which exceeded our expectations in both taste and punctuality. Although the fitness room and movie room were still under construction, the small maintenance issue we encountered in the bathroom was addressed swiftly by the staff.
Our stay has left us eager to return and see the final results of this new gem. I highly recommend this resort to everyone!

JJimmyk1Located on a hillside, it offers beautiful lake views. Since I rented a car, getting around wasn't an issue, but it could be challenging without one given its uphill location.
The room itself, though a bit dated, was clean. My only complaint was being assigned a room next to the elevator, as the noise in the mornings was quite disruptive.
CCoola CThe hotel is located in a area called ” Kevin Heights' which is near the airport but opposite to the Queenstown city. However, the hotel is built as it own resort, it is very pleasant to be away from those tourist spot full of hotels and accommodations. If you look for a holidays like a retreat and quiet time, this hotel is your choice.
The hotel is full of facilities like indoors swimming pool, restaurant and bar with lake view, lot of self-service parking spaces (you need to pay for $4 NZD per hour or $16NZD for a day parking). The breakfast at the restaurant with the lake view that really give you a fresh start of a day before you are heading off to your adventures.
By the lake side you can go for a walk anytime you want is a very pleasant activities or you can order your water taxi from the front desk that will take you to the downtown of Queenstown. It is also treat yourself as a cruise trip on the Wakatipu lake.

SSamSing WongClean & functional room with comfortable beds. Fully equipped kitchen and laundry equipment are a plus. However, dryer machine is pretty noisy and door also came unhinged. Because we tested the dryer first before the wash, we found it could be too noisy within the room and also the neighbors so we did not use the washing machine at all. Generally, it is very good.
11386208****The hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the city center. It's clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped. Breakfast was delicious, though the selection was a little limited. There's a dedicated indoor parking garage available, but it comes with a fee. Even the coffee and burgers sold in the lobby were quite reasonably priced. Overall, it's an excellent choice.
