The premises are clean and tidy, and you can see they are renovating. The renovations did not impact at all. Reception and cleaners all very approachable and friend. The hotel is close to the octagon, Settlers Museum and supermarket, all an easy walk. Room was comfortable with kettle tea and coffee and creamer. Also has a lovely courtyard where you can enjoy a beverage and cigarette. I will definitely stay there next time I am in Dunedin.

Clean and comfortable. I really appreciated the number of power points in the room: I could charge phone and hearing aids at the same time as boiling the kettle for a cuppa. Lovely hot water in the shower. I've stayed here before and certainly reccomm4end the Leviathan to anyone wanting value for money without the frills.
