Top Colby Hotel Reviews

The Claremont

The Claremont

10/10 Excellent
"The Claremont experience is exceptional, from the moment you enter the hotel, to the moment you leave. The hotel is well located, but it is the team that deliver a service which is hard to beat. The house keeping, breakfast, dinner and bar service is not just professional, it is delivered by a team of very polite and friendly people and it is always a pleasure to see them again and again. Our room was very well attended to on a daily basis and the Claremont house keeping service is the best we have ever experienced, with both a morning and night time visit. We have stayed at The Claremont many times and the service quality is always consistently high, within a very well managed hotel. This was our fifth visit to The Claremont in fifteen months and I urge hotels.com/Expedia to continue the service with the best hotel on the island."

Welbeck Hotel and Apartments

8/10 Good
"The room was adorable, bed was comfortable and storage in the wardrobe was great. Ample coffee and tea in the room w/ accompaniments and there is a small, quite useful fridge. I loved the chaise at the foot of the bed and the additional drawers that allowed a place to put and open my suitcase on top. Full, lengthy tub and great water pressure! Quiet and peaceful, with spacious outdoor seating. The lobby is adjacent to the bar, and the location is in very close proximity to the promenade and the water. My only two, minor gripes were not having the ability to control the room temp, and the partial shower door. The window only opens an inch or two at the top and the room was stiflingly warm, especially after a shower. The partial shower door let water spray and run all over the floor now matter how I tried to avoid it, and by the time I got out, the bathmat was soaked. I rang it out and used it again along with my towel to soak up the remaining water. A curtain or longer door would make a world of difference. They were mostly minor, and combined were the reason for one star deduction. I would stay again without concern, especially since there is a small lift available, which you will not find in most hotels here. That made getting my bags up multiple sets of stairs so much easier. There is a restaurant with a bar on site and they serve breakfast, but I didn't have anything so I can't comment on the food."
