Chapel Apartments

"Great rooms, walking distance into town. Only issue was parking, other rooms seemed to have a carpark?!"

"Great location in central Dunedin. Old chapel converted to apartments. Close to food outlets & shopping. Warm & comfortable. But no off street parking for us even though we understood we did have this. And website promises this. But only some apartments get one. A major disadvantage as we had a young baby. There is paid parking on street but not guaranteed availability. Free after 6 pm but luck of draw. There’s a parking building over the road but it shuts at 2 am. In spite of location and comfort I won’t return, because of the parking hassles."

"The actual apartments are modern and functional so it is a big shame, that the manager we dealt with was no help to us at all and just didn’t care. I booked through an agent for two nights and on arrival no one was at the apartments so I called the number that was there only to be told that I had no booking and someone had cancelled it. Then went on to say she couldn’t fit us in because it was completely booked out‪ the following night ‬ as she had a big booking.  I had booked this over a year ago and paid in full. No one had cancelled it and my agent was totally confused as to what had happened. She said we could stay one night but we would have to pay, even though I explained we had already paid and that our agent will call her soon to see what has happened. It was getting late and We have kids and she couldn’t careless. We received a call from our agent saying she has agreed to give us a room, on arrival no one was there again just a key on the door to our apartment. And to top everything off we couldn’t get into our street as they blocked it off to asphalt the road, luckily enough the road works men were very helpful and guided us through.  But told us we couldn’t leave because of the fresh asphalt and we had the noise of road works all night, explains why she had no bookings that night. She clearly knew this was going to happen, I’m pretty sure she would have been notified. It’s ridiculous, we then had to drive another 3.5 hours to our next destination with minimal sleep."

"These apartments are in central Dunedin and the location is fantastic. Walking distance to shopping on George St and all the fantastic architecture in the octagon. There is some off street parking but the owner will reimburse for any parking costs incurred if there isn't a space reserved for your room. The apartments are spacious with high ceilings and lots of big windows. I've stayed twice and would happily stay again."

"Nice place with comfortable rooms - but the heater upstairs only stays in for 10 minutes at a time, and the TV kept turning itself off. Also, the wireless internet dropped out a bit. The manager seemed nice too (though we only spoke to him over the phone)."
