David
The Alcala is a large motel close to the university and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. It has large rooms fully equipped for cooking and dining.
Kurt
Very clean, warm, comfortable beds, great location.
Ravi
We stayed here for one night when we came down for the Otago University open day. The property was in walking distance of Otago university & te mall. Room was tidy & had the required amenities. Since ours was a downstairs unit, there was some noise due to people walking in the upstairs unit. The noise itself wasn't too disruptive. The owner was a cheerful & friendly old person with a smile on his face.

I would look no further for accommodation in Dunedin. Very reasonable price, soft sheets (even my 8 year old commented on how nice the sheets were), soft absorbent towels, warm clean room, hot shower, 24/7 shop over the road, walking distance to main fast food hub on Great King St, and off street parking. Ticks all the boxes for me, thank you Alcala.
Susan
Handy to amenities, very helpful and obliging personnel. Would stay again.
Sherry
Great place to stay with excellent cooking facilities, comfy bed and very clean
ganga
Bed electric blanket not working, no extra blanket, other is okay …
Antony
Top floor attic room. When warm (rare in Dunedin) no air con except a window. Very, very steep stairs up to the bedroom with slippery carpet on them. Shower over spa bath was a pain getting into and out of.
Loretta
Great friendly staff and service :) very old fashioned building but kept really tidy and clean .

Neil
The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. All appliances worked too!
David
we made mistake of booking place with just one bed. Lucky, we didn't mind sharing. Worst thing was the noisy seagulls walking on roof. Sounded like people were jumping around just above us. Couldn't believe the noise they generated. Because of this didn't sleep well. Next time will ask for different room. Previous two times we visited we have had no problems at all.
Scott
Our family room was ideal with two single beds on the mezzanine level giving space and privacy. The property was in process of renovating and upgrading rooms one by one but ours was more than adequate and the kitchen facility and breakfast bar meant we didn’t have to balance plates on our laps!. The location was ideal with our granddaughter just a 5 minute walk away, and we explored the city on foot. Driving further afield was easy too. The staff were very welcoming and everything was very clean.
Freya
The place was so lovely, it was clean and very warm and cosy. The fridge was quite cold but kept the food safe. Everyone was so friendly and I would definitely come back :)
Mel

Karamjeet
All good
Albert
I thought the whole stay was great our host's were helpful and professional. It was warm and very handy to the university and other amenities.
Gillian
Good location and clean and tidy. An older facility, but a nice feel to it.
Clifford Leigh
Bath Tub with high side, no handle to grab hold of to get in or out, felt very unsafe.
Kirsty
Tidy, convenient, warm and comfortable
Liz
Bed lovely and warm. Bathroom update would be good.
Maureen
Very clean very handy to hospital receptionist very helpful
Jill
Good location and reasonably priced. Shower head was too low - at chest height for averaged height woman and was over a bath so difficult to climb into for older or non mobile people. The units upstairs were not easily accesible for older or less mobile people - would have liked option of ground floor. Cord for electric blanket on window side of double bed didn’t reach power point and one on other side of the bed was split - so no electric blanket to use.
The host was nice - took time to show us around the room. The heater was very efficient. Nice touch to have the
paper delivered each day.

The motel room was sizable. It was a little dated, but the facilities were very good. The studio in is suitable for a couple or smaller family, with its separate double bedroom, and full kitchen. It was economically priced and provided excellent value for money.
Ben
it was so cool
Lynley
Motel was very clean, friendly and helpful staff. Only downside was kids running round in upstairs unit very noisy.

This motel has seen better days and is sorely in need of maintenance. Many fittings are worn and the property generally looks tired. There is black mould in the bathroom. I was told had scored an upgrade but it just meant I had 2 flights of stairs to get to room and another to get to the bedroom.
Chris
Overall my stay was brilliant. If I must quibble, water in shower, toilet and sinks was a bit weak. Again, loved the room and overall accommodation, made my visit all that more restful/enjoyable.

Starting to age a bit but good value for money. Handy to town and good car parking. I'd stay again.
Shaun
The property is very dated.
The shower had small dots of visible mold.
Parking was difficult if you want to park late afternoon or evening, there is a boat and trailer that seem permanently parked and a couple staying were using two car parks so limited spaces available.

Lots of room and a great kitchen area. Friendly host and great security.
I arrived late in the day, so it would have been nice to have the door and windows closed earlier, as it made for a cool night. The shower was poor pressure, but I didn't get a chance to check this with the owner - there may have been an issue.
Otherwise, comfortable, good sleeps, easy week!

Staying at Alcala Motel is a pleasant experience, particularly for those visiting Toroa College. Its convenient location, comfortable rooms, and friendly service make it a top choice for both short and extended stays. Whether you're a parent visiting a student at Toroa College, attending a college event, or just exploring the area, Alcala Motel provides everything you need for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. The 24-hour dairy across the street has all the tastiest pastries that is always there for your hunger any time of the day/night.

Donna
Staff were fantastic but thats where anything good i have to say ends. Very dated property and im sure the stairs in the unit are unsafe. Not only are they narrow and oddly shaped they are very unstable feeling. Beds were uncomfortable, shower and kitchen had the basics however was damaged and dated, mold on the shower curtain and a poorly repaired light. Also no heating on fan in there. Not to mention the poor shower pressure. The owner seemed to have taken up quite a few parks in the limited car park.The list of cons definitely out weigh the pros. For the price point its very disappointing.
pip
Warm , comfortable stay
Great stay, place lovely and warm, old fashioned but clean, friendly staff and great price, would happily stay again
MARLENE
Although I arrived at the motel earlier than the check in time, they had a room available for me., even after the staff were all busy that morning after a huge number of guests were checking out.. On one occasion I couldn't open my room door but one of the staff immediately came to my rescue.
Staff are fantastic.

Lovely place to stay Clean and quiet.But not enough parking space when full.Had to park on road overnight.

As an older person, with arthritic knees, found stepping into the high sided shrub a bit of a challenge. Otherwise found the unit very acceptable.
Wu
Good deal. Walking distance to the city center and railway station. Full kitchen.

Thank you for a warm welcome and the lovely 6 days we had with you.
Special mention to the fantastic cleaning team. Beautiful clean tidy units. Nothing was a problem.
We will be travelling south a few more times with our girl being at uni.
So see you again.

The stairs in the unit were too steep for older people. Toilet brush was disgusting had not been cleaned for a long time.
James
Good stay, as expected. Layout of double plus twin bed room was weird. Maybe running the beds parallel to each other would work better.
Alan
Helpful staff with local knowledge of where to go etc

All was very good apart from no elevator. I'm 77 years old with a bad knee therefore I was uncomfortable climbing 3 flights of stairs. I could have asked for assistance but I didn't. Apart from that it was very good.

Well equipped room but we wouldn't have wanted to use the loft area as the stairs were too quirky.

The services of staffs were good. The room condition was average with old facilities. The location was very convenient to city center.
