Reviews of Le NIL

A good little hotel in a great location, just by the beach. Parking was a bonus. The bar/ restaurant provided good food throughout the day. Our room was basic but had all we needed.

Location on St Anne beach is fantastic!

Great restaurant. Staff was nice!

It’s on the beach

Noise and false promises. Our room was a cell with no view other than the toilet block for the restaurant next to our ground floor room. Music started (loud) at 8.00 and didn’t end until 22.30 one evening and well after midnight the next. We were warned about the music to be played on two evenings but not the all day and certainly not the late night. Our room does not feature in the photos, hence the sense of false promises and inaccuracies in the description. The photos show the position and proximity of the toilets and our window with the shutters that don’t open. No daylight. It was so bad that we booked an alternative hotel for the third night’s stay in the middle of the second night. The owner did apologise and surprisingly refunded our third night. It’s such a shame as the hotel’s position and open air feel is lovely.

Atmosphere location.

Difficult to communicate in English

- Location right at the beach - good cleaning lady, friendly staff - restaurant in the hotel - parking opportunity - grocery shops, great restaurants and gelateria close by

- needs thorough cleaning or replacement of used things (wood in the shower, mold in the shower, mosquito net had holes and smelled weird, the occasional cockroach) - AC was broken for 3 nights, but once available they upgraded us to a better room for 2 nights until the AC was fixed - extremely loud music in the evening, at least they stop around 10 pm

Location near beach

Night time entertainment was loud in the rooms

The location of this place is amazing - in like 20 sec you are on the beach, from your room. It's a decent place for a couple of days. But expect a modest accomodation.

Excellent location and personel

A

Close to the beach.

At check in and check out nobody was there. Unfriendly and unpolite owner. No single word of English is spoken or understood. No breakfast, restaurant wad closed until 5pm. Very loud music from the restaurant all evening long. Rooms are not soundproof, dirty and outdated. No toilet paper in the room. Do NOT stay here!!!

A nice restaurant and our sea view room was beautiful.

We booked a sea view room for our 3 night stay many months before our trip. We received a message a few nights before our stay to inform us that the room we had booked and paid for was no longer available for our whole stay. We received a refund but this did not compensate for the quality of room we were down graded to and we didn't receive the complimentary cocktails and tapas we were offered.

The location of the hotel is perfect, right onto the beach. Nice bar/restaurant with good food. Easy parking.

The room was quite small and it had no curtains, also there was some noise from the bar at night.

Great location, Great Restaurant by the beach, very good food. Great staff working there. Good value for your money.

Room a bit small.

Great location; good bar & restaurant; atmospheric music; quirky

Room was badly in need of a makeover; very shabby bathroom; dodgy dangerous electrics; odd that hotel is closed on Mondays so we were not welcomed upon our arrival and instead were confronted with spooky darkness.

We had a sea view room and it was amazing; very private balcony overlooking the ocean. Big room and bathroom, very clean and comfortable bed. The breakfast was fresh fruit and bread and croissants every morning with plenty of coffee and fruit juice too. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and either spoke excellent English or were very patient with my pigeon French and Google Translate! Location was superb - directly onto the sea, but rocks where the hotel is. Within 50m you are on sand and the beach is beautiful. We had dinner in the hotel a couple of times and the food was great quality and quantity. The restaurant was always busy, which is a great sign. They had live music Friday, Saturday evenings and Sunday lunchtime - it was a vibrant and fun atmosphere without being overly loud or intrusive. Loved it and could have stayed longer than the 5 nights we were there.

It closes on a Monday - you still get breakfast, but then it is closed. I fully appreciate the staff need a break though, so no major issue, just something to be aware of if you are going.

the beach

the hotel was very bad need of a full revamp

Restaurant was closed on monday - no food available.

The locations is outstanding. Breakfast was great for us each morning. It is a pretty good place to explore the island but the trip to Basse Terre attractions is pretty far (1.5 hours drive to most) Room was wonderful as we were in room 2 with an ocean front balcony. Internet is spotty but we just used the island service with our Iphone and that was fine. Overall a great hotel and I would stay there again for sure.

The only thing that we might have changed is staying on Basse Terre one or two days. It is a very long car ride to volcano, waterfalls and other attractions. But this is a great location for the beach which we did 5 days.

close to the beach and the city center

no problem

Fantastic location with beautiful Ocean view. decent room and nice terrace

Staff seem to not be particularly happy about none French speaking clientele

Great location. That's it.

At least double the price it should be for the facilities. Very run down. Not clean. Incredibly loud with live music every night until 11pm plus. Sat for 20 minutes and never got service so I eventually gave up. Room dirty, someone else's soap left in the shower. Someone else's hair clip on the floor. Shower is open so water pours onto the floor. Mirror, walls etc old and dirty. There is a mini fridge which is barely cold. I had to keep requesting ice from the bar to cool anything. The bar manager and maintenance man were nice, but couldn't ever get service so I went out and got my own stuff.
