Entering the Leviathan is like stepping back in time it has that grandeur and class about it. Unfortunately the old girl is showing her age as she looks tired and the carpets are not in the best condition. Furniture is hapazardly placed all be it all rotan. The room we had was comfortable but cramped. This hotel is a gem with a good polish it would shine as a classic example of how hotels used to be.

Furniture is old, one of the mattresses in our room should’ve been replaced long ago. Chairs in communal lounge were so worn out. Communal kitchen was cold, smelled like urine and was poorly equipped. On the plus side the entrance way and dining hall were nice
