Booked Dunedin Heritage Q Apartments in Queen Street. This apartment was a real health risk from mice droppings and rat urine. They give stock platitudes as answers in relation to the complaints. …

A complete scam! Dunedin Heritage Q Apartments, 6B Queen Street is not what it appears to be on Booking.com or other hotel booking websites.First of all, they do not answer phone calls, SMS, or the Booking.com message system.Once you have paid, they do not care anymore.We booked 6 nights, with a double king-size bed. We got a room with two children's beds connected; our legs were out of the uncomfortable bed so we could not sleep. The shower did not work, after a few seconds it would flood the whole room.Following, are the smaller problems, which you can live with, but just make it an even worse place to book: The table that appeared in the photos did not exist. The kitchen is suitable for very tall people only (see photo). You do not have where to sit and eat. There is a stove but only one pan. E.g. no casserole or pot. There is an iron but no ironing board. The room is extremely noisy as it is located at street level at a very busy street. You can hear upstairs neighbors when they are walking. The bed was dirty upon arrival and the lid to the waste bin had been used to stub out cigarettes, hence a bad smell of cigarettes in the room. It is supposed to be a non-smoking apartment.Overall, it is just a bad place.We called Booking.com several times, but the property owners do not even answer the Booking.com representatives .... After one night we left for the Ibis hotel since the booked property was not suitable for living, and neither Booking.com or the property owner did anything to solve the issues. Only after 4 nights, Booking.com succeeded to talk to them and cancel (on our expanse). They promised to refund if they find new suckers to rent it. They did find, but we never got the money for the 2 nights as promissed. Lastly, we cannot rate them on Booking.com, since they cancelled the reservation like we never showed up.In summary, stay away and do not ruin your vacation as we did.

We booked through bookin.com and there were no specific pictures for each apartment. We rented the three-bedroom town apartment. Well the apartment is OK. But the showers are small, bad water pressure. …

If you want to sleep then I suggest you take earplugs...the gulls outside are the noisiest most vocal birds I have ever had the misfortune to hear.Its quicker taking the stairs as the lift is so slow.We are staying in an apartment for five yet there is only space for four people to sit in the living room. So either get used to the floor or drag a dining room chair through from the other room. Sofas have torn leather and the TV is tiny. Bulbs missing in the living room too!While the beds are comfortable, the headboards are in a sorry state.The kitchen is well equipped but the bin needs replacing and batteries are needed for the clock.Shower in the ensuite is a good size but has no proper shower head. You need to hold it and give yourself a quick wash so washing your hair is impossible unless you have three hands.This apartment is sold as 'luxury'...its far from it

The mattress on the beds needs to be renewed, the rest is perfect.

This is a great alternative to a hotel for half the price. Well appointed with two bathrooms, sitting room, dining room and kitchen. There's a Tesco express in the same block and pizza express opposite. Easy walk into town and train station. Highly recommended.
