It was totally inappropriate and alarming to think there are still these people out there in society, let alone that wotif is allowing these people to list their guesthouse on their website. The owner even shared that when she gets a reservation from a foreign name that is not Anglican that she contacts immigration for fear of Isis so that she can avoid taking their booking. We found the owner to be intrusive. Further, locals later told us that this is a very unsafe part of Port of Spain. We would not recommend this guesthouse. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Made me feel right at home Ann Marie was an amazing host!

I felt safe inside this facility. She was very welcoming and promptly provided all requested amenities, e.g. blow dryer.She also voluntarily gave me a 30% discount on the apartment rate when I had to extend my stay for 2 nights, and a complimentary tasty local breakfast that reflected the true flavor of Trinidad cuisine. (Thanks for the coconut bake and saltfish). :-) She also provided the driver, Brian for pickup from the airport and more drivers like Ian and Leroy throughout my stay. I was promptly picked up and dropped off safely each day. So, I did not have to do any walking to get a taxi into "town." The location is close to my Buddhist Nichiren Shoshu Temple (84 Picton St., Port of Spain) where I was able to worship each morning at 6:30 a.m. and chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for World Peace and Happiness for all Mankind. It is also close to all government buildings, the U.S. Embassy, courthouses, Port of Spain General Hospital, Queen's Park Savannah and retail stores on Frederick Street. I would stay there again, especially for the great rates and close proximity to the "heart of town." ##### Lorna ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeanette M. 24 Jan 2016 #### Trinitime The weather was comfortable with occasional rain showers.I believe the rain season in Trinidad is from June to December.The food is always great as are the people. ##### Jeanette M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raj, Texas 19 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very well run place I stayed at Villa Shalom for one week in November. I called ahead to make arrangements for check-in and talked to the owner. She gave me good directions for the taxi. Even though she wasn't going to be at the property at the time I was going to arrive, she made arrangements with another person to check me in. The room and attached bathroom at the upper level was compact but clean and nice. The communal kitchen at the lower level was spacious and clean. The owner lived at or very near the property, and used the kitchen for her own cooking as well. She was like a mother and provided good information about how to get around the city, what to be careful of and how much to pay for what. Local maps and information was available for reference. She can also give a good account of the local history if interested. The guesthouse is located in a middle class residential neighborhood and is a 10-15 minute walk to the Savannah. To get to downtown Port of Spain, one can either take a shared taxi a block away or walk 30-40 minutes like I did when I didn't have bags to carry. There are small convenience stores close by among the houses but no real places to eat until one gets to the Savannah or beyond. I was most impressed by how efficiently the owner ran the place; she was on top of everything whether it was the gate lock or internet access. And she always answered her phone which was nice if one needed help with something. If I were to visit Trinidad again, I'd definitely stay there again ##### Raj ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Lansdowne Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-The-Lansdowne-Hotel.h40048772.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Trinidad](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Of-Spain-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Trinidad.h4216.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Airport.h31718853.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santa Pola](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Pola-Hotels.d6025700.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Starfish Tobago Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Starfish-Tobago-Resort.h794543.Hotel-Information) > > [Tropikist Beach Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crown-Point-Hotels-Tropikist-Beach-Hotel-Resort.h1677405.Hotel-Information) > > [Grafton Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Black-Rock-Hotels-Grafton-Beach-Resort.h26444.Hotel-Information) > > [Brook Red Lion Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Brook-Red-Lion-Hotel.h900905.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel JS Palma Stay - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Hotel-JS-Palma-Stay-Adults-Only.h1133634.Hotel-Information) > > [Avalon Cosy Hotel Paris Gare du Nord](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Avalon-Cosy-Hotel-Paris-Gare-Du-Nord.h70983647.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Budapest City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-City-Centre-Budapest-Hotels.0-n6200286-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mount Irvine Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Black-Rock-Hotels-Mount-Irvine-Bay-Resort.h13011069.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Grand Courlan Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Black-Rock-Hotels-Le-Grand-Courlan-Spa-Resort.h403227.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Waters Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Speyside-Hotels-Blue-Waters-Inn.h14883.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Berlin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Berlin-Hotels.s50-0-d179892.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Trincity Trinidad Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Piarco-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Trincity-Trinidad-Airport.h1639976.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Cala Galdana - Menorca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ferreries-Hotels-Melia-Cala-Galdana-Menorca.h183069.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Trinidad](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Of-Spain-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Trinidad.h1793103.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bungalow at Pigeon Point](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crown-Point-Hotels-The-Bungalow-At-Pigeon-Point.h12729542.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vilnius Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilnius-Old-Town-Vilnius-Hotels.0-n553248635978913752-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lowlands-Hotels-Magdalena-Grand-Beach-Golf-Resort.h4882859.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.co.uk/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars > [Car hire in Lutterworth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Lutterworth.d180822.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Bracknell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bracknell.d4580.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Lake Titicaca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Titicaca-South-America.d6053553.Attraction) > > [Austin Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin.d178234.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Drumchapel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drumchapel.dx6132260)
