We came to the ancient capital of Fiji, looking forward to staying in Fiji's oldest hotel from the colonial age, to get a sense of the past time. The hotel building looks boring and anonymous from the outside, but it doesn't disappoint inside. All the big salons and rooms downstairs make you imagine beachcombers and French and English sailors and... More

This hostel itself is like a museum with antique furniture. Their old collected items and pictures are also displayed in the hotel. The building is old, but clean. Staff were very nice. I stayed there in the evening when a cyclone hit Fiji. All the restaurants and shops in town were closed, but they provided me with lunch and dinner,... More

though a little thread-bare and would deserve a make-over. However shower was ok, everything working. The house is old with a long history, so it is worth to wander through the rooms. Levuka is a nice historical town and worth visiting.

The Royal Hotel is a Levuka Icon. Years ago we stayed in the honeymoon suite which had single beds each with their own mosquito nets. This visit we stayed in a modern bure with insect screens and fans in the revamped gardens with palm trees and swimming pool. The old world charm remains and is a reminder of the days... More

Levuka,the old capital of Fiji and the major town on the island of Ovalau is not for people taking a seven night mid winter break in a tropical paradise. It is hard to get to and the trip has it's excitements whether going by the Patterson Brothers ferry service or by tiny plane from Nausori to Bureta airstrip on the... More

Flying from Nasori (Suva) in a 8 seater (this includes co pilot and pilot) at 8am. Sunny day for a change. Other passangers looked terrified when seeing the size of the plane. Fabulous flight service, movies meals ha no, just views that are wonderful. Different blues of water and reefs galore. Then the sudden descent to a tiny airstrip. Fun... More

I stayed here in 2010 for 4 weeks whilst working at the local hospital. It is a family owned and run hotel that is part of the history of Levuka. Yes the rooms are basic, the walls and floor creaky, and there is a lack of modern facilities, however the colonial history in this place is fantastic. The old photographs... More

This is our 2nd visit to Levuka and the Royal Hotel. We went with friends for the Easter break who hadn't been there before and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All up there was 10 of us including 4 kids so we all opted for the self-contained cottages. These were basic but comfortable especially for the price and the pool... More

Was not impressed to be told the single rooms I had seen as "available" online were unavailable, even though the receptionist seemed to think there was one I could have, but the manager said not. When a very nice couple offered to go halves on a two bedroom property, this also suddenly went from available to "taken". Leaving just one... More
