What I liked about this place: - very spacious and well equipped unit - clean and tidy - comfortable bed and the blackout curtains helped with street lights just outside - a comfortable work area that is big enough for 2 people to use simultaneously - dedicated parking space - easy walking distance to Queens Garden and several eateries - small balcony that would be perfect to use if the weather allowed What I did not like too much: - We had a front unit, so it may not affect others so much, but there was a lot of road noise during morning and afternoon peak times (the on/off ramp for Timaru is literally across the road) - the stairs to the bedroom area is narrow and very steep making it difficult to navigate at night - due to the staircase and limited space, it is not practical to take suitcases into the bedroom. There is an area in the living room that works well for it though.

Jenny was very welcoming on arrival. The rooms were very clean and modern with a kitchenette. We had a ground floor room but the wifi only worked outside in the carpark and not in our room. The location was excellent with a lovely cafe down the road. Turn left out of the driveway. New World was just around the corner.

Excellent stay, very tidy and modern facilities. Close to yummy eateries and a supermarket. Easy drive to the center of town. Not far from Baldwin street - the steepest street in the world. Great value for money. Owners very accommodating with requests.

Bright, clean, private, spacious mezzanine room was ideal. Polite, professional staff, communicative and helpful immediately if needed, but otherwise leave you in perfect peace. Aria on Bank is easy, reliable, predictable, pleasant and well appointed. Ideal motel accommodation.

we had a midwinter break here.. and found Aria to be centrally located and clean.. we walked to the supermarket and the botanicals gardens. Staff very helpful.. the only negative is the parking, we found it difficult to get into.

Stayed here for 3 nights in one of the rooms set further back off the road, checked in with owner who was a friendly chap. I wasn’t expecting too much when I got to the door but the inside is considerably nicer than what the outside portrays. Very clean, kitchen was well appointed with an oven & stovetop and the bathroom looked like it had been recently refurbished. Great shower too! Free and fast internet, no complaints there. Room tended to get quite cold but there was a good heatpump downstairs as well as in the bedrooms. Overall a pleasant and surprisingly quiet stay - I only heard student noise once and that was on St Patrick’s Day!

I chose this place for its close proximity to walk into Dunedin and also opposite the Botanical Gardens, with free parking. We chose a two bedroom 2 storey unit with a King and Queen bedroom with good kitchen, dining and lounge area and spacious bathroom. Quality, comfortable beds, linen and towels with a good selection of toiletries, dressing gowns and slippers (you don't get these very often even in 4 star hotels - nice touch Aria). Milk was offered on arrival and very obligingly gave us a unit 3 hours prior to check in as arrived early. I will definitely stay again and have already reccommended to friends who plan to visit Dunedin soon.

We were so glad to find Aria on Bank - the people were so warm and welcoming, the room was spacious and felt like home, the situation was ideal - walking distance to basic shopping and the Gardens and an easy drive anywhere. Everything was spotless and of a high standard. We strongly recommend this motel for anyone staying in Dunedin. Great value for money.
