8/10 Good
"Ebb Dunedin appears to be a newish hotel, it is close to main shopping area and has parking beneath (extra charge). There is a cafe on site but due to our arrival time, was Closed. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with usual tea / coffee making, fridge and stocked mini bar. There is a tv but unable to stream to it. The staff were friendly & professional. The rooms to the front of the hotel look out onto the rear wall of the shopping centre, I’ll add at this point that the area is extremely well lit, meaning, even with blackout curtains, the light bleeds into the room & when I woke at 3am, thought it was daylight. It’s clean, tidy and well presented & ideal for Dunedin trips."
