There is no kitchen facilities other than a refrigerator,hot water jug , mugs and glasses. The room had a comfortable double bed and 2 side chairs. We were comfortable and slept well. The staff were friendly and helpful Car parking was provided. The building was ancient and very interesting it appeared to be undergoing a long term restoration to a former glory. Great for short term stays

This hotel has seen much better days. Rooms are shabby and not well kept. The location is pretty good, though, so if you are just passing through for one night and don’t care too much about the quality issues, it’s fine.

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.
