We just loved this clean budget priced hotel where we stayed for 9 nights over Christmas and New Year.... which is above average for the price ,and we would most definately return...it is centrally placed and convenient to the Bay street area and lots of places of historical interest.
The world famous straw market is less than 200 yards away as are lots of restaurants and bus services to all over the island for only $1 per person...
Now for the hotel...which is not the Ritz, but when you consider that this is the cheapest hotel in town,it represents great value for money,all the staff are polite and extremely helpful,the towels get changed every day ! and the maid comes in and cleans and makes the beds every day.
Two parrots are there in the lobby which are great fun,especially Ziggy the African green Parrot with a great volcabulary,and learns quckly !No charge for local telephone calls,and International calls are via the international operator with your credit card.so you won't get ripped off.
The basic continental breakfast is included,and you help youself to boiled eggs,sliced cheese,jam,bread and toast,and some home made scones baked every day.....and orange juce,coffee and tea,and you can eat and drink as much as you like !
Air conditioning and TV and for only $70 a room ! you can't beat that !
One of the plus points is that you will meet a lot of people from all over the world...I am pleased to say we have made some new friends !
The local people are most friendly and very helpful,and drivers will often stop so you can cross the road,even if it is not on a crossing !
Go to the parliament building where David Forbes will give you loads of info about this most interesting building !
So much to do and see and so little time !
The Ardastra gardens and zoo are also worth a visit,particularly the Flamingoes.....privatly owned it looks after many endangered species..
Have a great time............................
