I was a tad wary when booking as a we were travelling on a budget for a girls weekend away. This place really was awesome, clean, spacious, and the staff so friendly. Definitely be staying here again.

Very friendly staff. Very clean, spacious, well equipped and quiet, although a little dated. Our room was a bit gloomy but as we were out all day that was of no concern. Free laundry. Staff very helpful with bookings to local places of interest and with directions to restaurants. The motel is within an easy walk to the City centre... More

Great place to stay when in Dunedin. I recently spent 2 nights in Dunedin and found the accomodation excellent. Service was friendly and helpfull, room was nice and clean and had everything you needed. Close to the city center - only 10 minutes straight down George Street. Good value for money.

The Alcala Econo Lodge is situated on George Street, Dunedin, close to the University of Otago, the Dunedin Museum and downtown--all within easy walking distance. Our host, Gary, was very helpful and the room was very clean and well appointed, with a full kitchenette.

Very nice and tidy. The suite was quite modern. If you can't walk up a lot of stairs definitely ask for a ground floor suite as it's quite a hike up the stairs. Good location as it's not too far from town.

Roomy and very clean unit with a full kitchen. Close to centre of city. Great value for money. Complimentary wireless internet and guest laundry. Unfortunately the heater in the unit was not working properly during our stay, otherwise I would have rated this establishment as excellent. Will definitely return.

Everywhere I usually stay in Dunedin was booked out and was therefore "forced" into seeking accommodation with a higher price tag than I usually do. Given this, I then expected more than what I usually receive, and I was not at all disappointed. In fact, I would very definitely return again, despite a higher than normal (for me) tariff.
