Work Stay at 123

Dunedin

All units at the hostel are equipped with a seating area and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Work Stay at 123 features certain rooms with city views, and all rooms include a kettle. At the accommodation each room includes bed linen and towels. Super comfortable room with great work and resting space. The kitchen was fantastic and even equipped with free coffee, cereal, other foods. Shared bathroom was big and nice with towels and shampoo and everything - felt like I was in a real home. It was so peaceful during my stay. There's a beautiful view from the sitting area of the city, perfect for a coffee or glass of wine. Maybe it was just what I needed at the time, but honestly this was one of my favorite places to stay in the past few months of traveling. Again, just felt like being at home.
