8.8/10 Excellent! (101 reviews)
We just stayed one night between island hopping . This delightful hotel in an older but beautifully maintained building is central on pedestrian only street . Dinner choices, shopping and groceries are all nearby . Live music entertained us on the lovely patio that looks over the street . You are about 10 min taxi ride from airport and cost is 1500 CVE (about 15€). For great coffee and ambiance including live music don’t miss Cafe Sophia.

8.4/10 Very good! (290 reviews)
The hotel is located in a very central area close to the beach and bar etc. Hotel is in need of mattress upgrades and comfort amenities. Unfortunately, we had to change two rooms before we actually had air condition to work. Minor inconveniences but it plays part in the overall experience. Reception water was never full and reception when available were friendly and were able to assist us whenever needed. Breakfast was OK. They had the same food items three days in a row, which begs the question. I think you can find better value elsewhere, but for us it served the purpose and we were satisfied.

"I think the room was lovely well done for the decoration. I was not happy with the shaking 3 o’clock in the checkout 11 o’clock it doesn’t make any sense for the money you pay breakfast. It’s okay not the best breakfast I ever eat the people stuff from the hotel. They’re lovely people."
