A pleasant stay and I'd be very happy to return out of term.
Pros:

I loved the accessibility to the university, and the central position of the room to the entrance and lovely clean kitchen and dining facilities with the awesome view out to the hockey fields and surrounding hills. I loved the friendly staff who assisted with assisting with my after hours arrival, directions and getting on top of the internet. Definitely a safe place with fob access.

Cons:

I can't really complain - students were settling back in and doors, drawers and other sounds were distracting after 9.30 pm.

noise
Pros:

The building is new, and although the space is small, it is well equipped with everything you need. Access to the entrance and hallway requires a key, which gives a good impression of security.

The room and bathroom are compact, but they include a wardrobe, desk, bed, TV, a small kitchen with cooking utensils, and a bathroom. Since everything is new, it actually feels better than many older three-star hotels.

That said, I do not plan to stay here again. I give two stars mainly because the staff were friendly.

After driving for six hours, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t get even one hour of deep sleep. I can’t speak for other rooms, but in the room I stayed in, there was constant noise throughout the night.

Cons:

It sounded like metal scraping, a motor running, water moving up and down, and even a vibration like a giant phone on silent mode. The entire room felt filled with mechanical noise.

Hair scattered on the bathroom tiles didn’t bother me much, and even when the heater didn’t work properly on a suddenly cold day, I could tolerate that. However, the nonstop noise and the flashing red light directly in front of the bed made it impossible to rest.

Since I visit Dunedin every month, I thought I had finally found a good place to stay, so this experience was very disappointing.

Good overnight stop
Pros:

This is clearly student accommodation used in the summer for tourists and backpackers. Would suit the latter best. Friendly welcome and good for a short stay. Very near to the rugby stadium and Otago University.

Cons:

A little bit basic.

adequate for the basics but it felt expensive for the little provided and the lack of homeliness
Pros:

it was quiet, with the basics provided

Cons:

Very hard to find and to find the entry. i thought i was at the wrong address and had to make a phone call. I was in the right place but no signage for Otago Village.
When i returned later the friendly cleaner showed me to the room and explained the facilities because no one was at the desk. i was very confused.

Pros:

밀포드 사운드로 향하는 중간 기착지였어요.
오타고 대학이 아닌, 오타고 폴리테크닉 대학 기숙사입니다.(직업 학교인 듯)
사진과 똑같이 정말 깨끗하고 쾌적해요.
이용객이 적어서 한 층 전체를 독점한 기분^^
층마다 다이닝룸이 있어요. 우유와 각종 티백 공짜!
1층에는 탁구대, 에어하키 등도 있어요.

Cons:

정말 없습니다.
어메니티도 좋아요.^^ 한국분들 강력 추천!
