"Very outdated, the vibe from the whole place made me sleep with the light on as there was something very eerie about the place, the communal bathrooms were pretty bad, no soap, no one had cleaned the entire time I was there, razors left behind in shower put me off, and hardly any lighting in there once it goes dark. Curtains had mould on them and pillows were dirty, one window permanently open in my room so there was a breeze but overall a cheap room"

Leviathan Heritage Hotel Dunedin

Leviathan Heritage Hotel Dunedin

10/10 Excellent
"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."
