Overall, like if the property had two star, the front staff is great friendly ladies who are very helpful. We went to go see the manatees in the national park and they called the taxi and got us there. The overall the property is nice and well maintained nice colonial style. The bed was good, air-conditioned room. Beyond that the food is exorbitant. The food was good, but I’m paying the same prices at a high-end restaurant in the United States. Also no one, but the front staff can crack a smile or be friendly. When you order a drink at the bar they make it for you and then sit down and fall asleep behind the bar again. I think I saw the property manager when I said good morning just a look and no hello. There is absolutely no hospitality, but that’s probably given that Guyana has a very young tourism atmosphere. At dinner the same thing they will take your order and bring it but absolutely no smile hello or anything.

I was in Guyana for a short stay and needed to be nearby. It was a plesant experience. Staff was cordial and helpful. They hotel has done a very good job of modernizing the space and still maintained its quaint historic features.

Stayed here for 3 nights. The restaurant had a good selection of food, and it was quite good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are very outdated and need to be renovated. The WiFi didn’t work up in the rooms, only in the lobby could we connect.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was very picturesque. The lawns were well manicured and the building is well preserved with updated features like internet access and modernized bathrooms. The mattresses are super-comfortable and afford guests great sleep. The seating areas surrounding by beautiful foliage were very relaxing. Because the furniture was susceptible to dust, great care should be taken to maintain them. Because of the foliage, is there something that can be done about the mosquitoes? Furthermore, while it may not be safe for each room to have a microwave, I suggest that some common area should be set aside with disposable dishes and flatware for guests to warm up food.

Room was great, good air conditioning, ceiling fan, mattress was soo comfortable. Service was top notch. It was a dhame that the food was low quality. We ate their 5 times 2 breakfast and 3 lunch/dinner. Brrakfast was 4/10 I didn't like the fake suasage and the toast with no butter, reaally wasn't worth the price we paid. Lunch/dinner, the beef burger was mush and couldn't finish it and the chips was standard frozen chips deep fried. The quality for the price we paid was defo not worth it. Would recommend eating out.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cost does not reflect quality of service and physical the state of the property- broken safe, non working/noisy air conditioners, unclean rooms, old towels and that’s just a start. Employees presents as unhappy in their jobs. Restaurant more expensive than very good restaurants in major American and European cities. Laughable. Location being central works other than that do NOT recommend. Trying to address issues earns you the ire of staffers.

Beautiful building in the heart of town, the food is usually good(save for breakfast one morning). However there was limited hot water so our showers weren't warm and the hotel bar closes at different times which was a little confusing.
