Very friendly and hospitable atmosphere. As hotels go it’s one of my favourite since I came to New Zealand. Less stuffy and conservative and more relaxing and homely nearly. It’s a genuine Victorian building and has been lovingly kept and restored as it was originally intended. There are bedrooms on the ground floor to accommdate wheelchair users. The owners Rose and Tom are very friendly and offer tips on local spots to visit. The hot breakfast they offer in the morning is delicious and good quality. I’d go back again for the breakfast alone. :-) Parking is free in allocated spots in the multi storey car park next door.

Like staying with family

Victoria Railway is a hotel with soul. Tom and Rose have created a warm, welcoming establishment with the delights of a bye-gone era and the comforts of today. And the salmon and cod dish is a must have.

Brilliant. Great old style hotel but with modern rooms. Managers knew the history of the hotel and their knowledge of the local attractions was also top notch. The dining options and bar were welcomed after a long day travelling and sightseeing with both managers having time for a talk and passing on recommendations for a more scenic drive back to Dunedin.
