Hotels With Gym in Otago, New Zealand

"Great location with clean and comfortable rooms. The car park are conveniently located right in front of the rooms, which was perfect for our road trip as we were traveling with an MPV. It made loading, unloading, and moving between the vehicles and our room so easy. Overall, we had a great stay, and the surrounding views were beautiful too!"

"## Key Advantages 1. **Prime Downtown Location, Effortless Travel** The hotel is situated on the core section of Princes Street, a mere 2-minute walk to Octagon Square (the city center), 4 minutes to the train station and the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, and 5 minutes to Speight's Brewery. Otago University and Baldwin Street (the world's steepest street) are also within walking distance. Downstairs, you'll find an abundance of cafes, supermarkets, international restaurants, and even Chinese quick-serve options. The Intercity long-distance bus station is just a 10-minute walk away, meaning no taxis needed for bus connections or city exploration. For those driving to the peninsula to see yellow-eyed penguins, getting out of the city is a breeze. High-floor rooms offer panoramic views of Otago Harbour, providing a stunning sunset ambiance. 2. **Spacious Rooms, High Comfort Level** Standard rooms start at a generous 28 sqm, with executive suites reaching up to 60 sqm, making this one of the largest hotel room sizes for its price point in Dunedin. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning and thermostat-controlled heating, ensuring a warm stay during the autumn and winter months in the South Island. Mattresses are soft yet supportive, complemented by thick blackout curtains to block street light and noise. Standard room amenities include a separate refrigerator, tea and coffee making facilities, an iron and ironing board, and complimentary toiletries. The bathroom features a stable hot water supply and a wet/dry separation design. Executive suites add a sofa and seating area, perfect for groups or families to avoid feeling cramped. High-speed, free Wi-Fi is stable throughout the hotel, making it easy to work or plan your itinerary. Daily housekeeping is meticulous, with immaculate floors, bedding, and bathrooms. 3. **Comprehensive Facilities, Blending Leisure and Practicality** * **24-hour Front Desk:** The front desk offers round-the-clock service with friendly staff who can assist with complimentary luggage storage and booking peninsula penguin tours. Some staff can communicate in basic Mandarin, making it friendly for Chinese tourists. * **On-site Restaurant + Fireplace Lounge Bar:** The breakfast buffet includes congee, toast, local yogurt, fruits, vegetables, and hot fried eggs, with the rare addition of simple Chinese hot dishes to cater to Chinese palates. In the evening, you can relax with a drink at the cozy bar. * **Free Gym & Laundry Room:** The free gym is open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and is equipped with basic exercise machines. A public laundry room is available, which is super convenient for washing clothes during long road trips. * **Sustainable & Eco-friendly:** The entire hotel is sustainably certified, with a focus on reducing plastic use, which significantly enhances the guest experience. 4. **Well-suited for Business and Families** The hotel offers multiple meeting rooms, making it suitable for short business trips. Complimentary cribs can be added, and elevators are easily accessible for strollers. The flat streets nearby are perfect for leisurely strolls around the old town with children."

"I chose this hotel for its location, and it was excellent – very convenient with many restaurants nearby. The room was clean and spacious. It was a bit disappointing that water leaked from the shower screen's gap, making the floor wet."

"Overall, the facilities are mediocre. There's no air conditioning, and the room is tiny. There's a door that won't open, but people kept trying to get in from the outside, which was quite frightening. The bathroom was also very cold."

"The service was fantastic, and the young ladies at both the front desk and the restaurant were very friendly. The hotel is in a great location and the amenities are quite convenient. It does have a bit of history, so the facilities are a little dated, but I found the antique-style kettle quite charming and interesting."

"The hotel charged service fees and forcibly deducted money from the credit card. Our family had dinner at the hotel. The hotel waiter thought we were foreigners and didn’t speak good English, so the bill was wrong. After we checked the prices one by one, they changed it."

"1. The room was spacious, but the bed was directly in the same living space. 2. It was easy to make simple meals as all the pots, pans, and utensils were provided. We just bought a piece of beef and it was great. 3. The location is excellent, with both the 'red' and 'green' supermarkets less than a 5-minute walk away. Dunedin Train Station is about a 12-minute walk. 4. The hotel front desk staff were very friendly. Overnight parking costs 20 NZD."

"I stayed at this hotel two years ago, booked through Ctrip, and without hesitation chose Avani Queenstown Hotel again on my return to Queenstown. It used to be called 'Okas' but has been rebranded and renovated into hotel apartments. Be sure to pick a lake-view apartment – the scenery is stunning. The hotel also has a loft room type with a huge balcony, but the room itself is small and requires walking up stairs, which isn't ideal if you have a lot of luggage. I recommend choosing a lake-view room on the 8th or 9th floor, as they are the largest; you can just relax in the room and not even feel the need to go out. Queenstown is as vibrant and beautiful as ever! And definitely don't miss the butcher shop near the airport, opposite Red Supermarket! The meat quality is excellent, and they have the viral glass-bottle milk – one of the best milks in New Zealand! I'll definitely come back to Queenstown and choose Avani Queenstown Hotel again!"
