    Not enough space to move about for a double size bedroom. Having a fridge with no ice facility in this temperature was disappointing.

    Breakfast was very basic, would be nice to have a cook breakfast at no extra cost. Location was excellent, no problem getting around the town, very central.

    The neighborhood was noisy. But it was Friday night and things quieted around midnight.

    The staff were super helpful and friendly. The location was close to the downtown, bus stops and ferry terminal. The continental breakfast was wonderful with a coffee machine and a great variety of fresh fruit.

    It wasn’t very clear at the start what breakfast consisted off i thought there may be more selection for hot breakfast options (if it was available o just wasn’t very aware). Communication prior to my stay could've been better meaning calling the contact number to the hotel (no one had answered on the multiple occasions I called). Having to call booking. Com to get through to the hotel was a bit annnoying. However, it may have been a one off situation as failure to answer was for good reason (personal medical situation from the owners side of things). So knowing that there is hardly anything to complain about. (Water pressure could be better on the shower from the room I was staying in but that could be an island quirk rather than a hotel issue).

    They were accommodating with my arrival time that I had to change last minute. Breakfast was healthy- a lot of fresh local fruit available alongside cereals, coffee and toast. Owner’s son who was managing guests at the time I was staying was very polite, friendly and helpful. Definitely made me feel more comfortable staying there on my own for the first time. He also helped me sort out a taxi service to get to and from my event.

    A great place to stay in Roseau. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the centre in a quiet area. The AC is really powerful and the bed comfy. The hotel is close to many of the parking areas for the minibuses. Staff are helpful and friendly and the breakfast was great.

    This bed and breakfast is perfectly located for exploring Roseau and the surrounding area. The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed and storage, and was spotlessly clean. We loved being able to watch the sunset over the sea from the balcony outside the room. The breakfast had everything we needed to set us up for the day: a huge selection of fresh fruit, cereal, bread and spreads, juice and coffee. The staff were very friendly too.

    The slightly unpredictable shower, as 1 of the 4 days that I stayed here the water was very cool & almost no pressure at all. The other 3 mornings it was fine.

    Very good breakfast included in the cost of the room. I appreciated Philip explaining to me how I could take a local bus back to the airport on the other side of the island - a 1-hour trip - b/c when I arrived I was charged $80 USD to get to the guesthouse! You have to give yourself lots of extra time b/c, of course, the local bus is picking up & dropping off local people & cargo so it takes longer but I saved about $75 USD & had to walk the short distance from the airport's front gate to the terminal as these buses are not normally permitted on the airport property. Easy.

    The lights in the hotel room are really bright cold white which feels a bit less cozy.

    Breakfast is simple but decent with loads of fresh fruits. There is an option to order some things outside of the standard breakfast assortment.

    ❌ The pillows—definitely could be better. ❌ No blankets, just a thin sheet. Luckily, I had two beds = two sheets. Overall, a convenient and friendly stay with a great host and location, but definitely bring your own pillow if you like extra comfort!

    🌟 4 Stars Liked: ✅ Great location—easy walking distance to town. ✅ Phil was great, super welcoming. ✅ Friendly staff & solid continental breakfast. ✅ Room was fine, comfortable enough.

    The breakfast that is included in the price of $100 a night is a joke. Just toast, butter and jam and some fruit. Eggs had to be paid extra. Very disappointing.

    We just stayed one night to be able to take ferry the next day so the location was perfect. At night there was a lot of noise from loud music in the neighborhood. The staff was very friendly. Overall the guesthouse is clean but in the room there was quite some mildew and black residue in the toilet.

    Nice yellow building just outside the noisy city center. Accommodating is surprisingly expensive here, so compared to other places in the world this is not value for money. But in Roseau I think this is a nice place to stay for a couple of days. Very basic breakfast included - they even charge (a lot) extra if you want eggs, and we booked a room with ocean view, but the view was only if you sat outside the door of the room. Short walk to the city center and pretty calm environment.
