Enjoyed: the beautiful architecture of the building and convenience to central Dunedin Could be better: was quite cold, would’ve like more provisions to keep me warm during stay. Also, would have preferred if housekeeping replenished the soap etc. during room service

Ok, it's a basic hotel but if you're looking for somewhere cheap in central Dunedin with parking, you’ll go a long way to beat the Leviathan.

The hotel is very handy to walk to the centre. Only problem we found both this time and last time we stayed there, is that the bins must be directly under the bedroom window and they are emptied at 5.30 in the morning. Not nice when you are there to enjoy a relaxing sleep in.
