Right from when my son and i arrived at Aria on Bank, the owner was very polite, very helpful, and even accomodated us with arriving early. With a little extra paid, my son and i were upgraded to the family suite, giving both my son and myself seperate bedrooms. The place was clean, very well equipped, bathroom was spacious and stocked with bath towels and even had little creams and shampoo/conditioner. Bedrooms were very nice and spacious, had everything you needed and very comfortable beds. Kitchen had all the utensils meeded and stocked also with complementary tea/coffee and sugars. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. A definite 10/10. Owners are very friendly and very accomdating. Check out on the day is 10am, but the owner let us stay until 12midday. Cannot wait to visit Dubedin again and stay at Aria on Bank.

Parking is not easy if you have a longer vehicle due to the angles and limited turning space. But you do get 1 off road car park per room, just outside your room in my case in Room 19. My sink in the very small bathroom, that was in none of the pictures I saw, was not clean when I arrived. Getting on & off the toilet was a case of watch out you don't hit the sink in Room 19. The noises from next door were very loud and went late into the night in Room 19 Not a lot of plugs in the room I was in, Room 19. I can only give the opinion of the room I was in so I'm not saying the whole motel could be like that, just my room. Room 19 was absolutely horrible to stay in and I do not recommend that particular room to anyone. I also never spoke to anyone about it as I just couldn't be bothered. So I cannot say if I had complained that I may not have been moved elsewhere. There is a supermarket within walking distance. It is close to the main road which is great for travelling, once again not great for the room I stayed in noise wise.

Studio Suite 19 was clean with quality bedding and linen. However, this bottom room was tiny with exterior type cladding on the inside walls. Bathroom was closet size, a larger person would not be able to use as was only as wide as the toilet with a very small hand basin protruding halfway along (which was chipped due to others using it to wash dishes as there was no sink in the room), the small shower had an old fashioned stainless steel tray bottom and pull curtain. The fridge was something you would use at a camp site as was compact and did not keep things very cool, and there was not much bench space to plate food etc. Parking was very tight around the back of room. Not worth the price charged for this dated unit. WiFi was extremely slow and kept dropping out. First time I stayed here was upgraded to a Mezzanine Unit 1 which was just delightful. Room was large, light, modern with quality linen and a lovely outlook with balcony at the back and pretty street views at the front. Would stay at Aria again in this unit, but not in the studio. Location was very handy with supermarket and dining options close by and bus stop across the road. Friendly and efficient staff, thank you.
