If you’re looking for an affordable place that will give you a feel for a local life this is the hotel for you. It is clean, in the middle of the downtown, and next to the pier from which you can catch a water taxi to either Anse Chastanet or Jalouise beaches. There are couple grocery stores next to the...

We had read that the locals were super friendly and that Soufrier was a beautiful town. We arrived in our own rental car just as it got dark. As we attempted to turn down the side road along side of our hotel, a local jumped out into the road and started patting the hood of our car saying it was... More

The Downtown Hotel was in the middle of the town. We were on the upper floor and the hotel was surprisingly clean. I was expecting bugs but I didn't see one in five days, not even mosquitoes (I'm not sure why, maybe the Sulfur Springs has something to do with it). There were two groceries stores within a minute walking... More

I had just finished sailing the ARC and wanted to escape the 'sanitized' Rodney Bay environment, and wasn't disappointed in having chosen to stay at Soufrière. Soufrière, once the capital of St Lucia, is a small, friendly town, and you soon become part of it. If you really want a St Lucian experience away from the tourist resorts then this... More

Prompt friendly service, great value for the money and an excellent base for visiting the many attraction that Soufrière has to offer. Internet was free, there was hot showers, a mini refrigerator, microwave and AC with great value for the location and amenities. I loved coming out on the balcony in the morning and looking at the mountains and bustle... More

We stayed for 4 days, convience for travel, supermarket or to get something to eat, also there is a few inside stores. There is supermarket around, and Taxi to travel to castries. It is in the heart of Soufriere close to the sulpher lake and waterfall. The hotel itself don't have many amenities, just a microwave, kettle and a refrigerator... More

We stayed at the Downtown hotel our first night in Soufriere. Our room had french doors on 2 sides and a wrap-around balcony, we didn't bother with the a/c at all and left the doors wide open (we were on the 3rd floor so no issues of security) The hotel is very basic with no real amenities but who cares,...

If you want to stay at a resort, the the Downtown Hotel is not for you. However, if you want a feel for the local population, culture and daily life, you should stay here. Located, as the name implies, in downtown Soufrière, the hotel is simple but offers the closeness to supermarkets, restaurants, minibuses and water taxis. We stayed in... More

Tidy enough hotel in town centre but expensive for what you get in a shabby area. Promised internet didn't work nor did shower and management did not seem to care. Watch out for locals pretending to be employed by the hotel and who demand money to move your luggage up a flight of stairs to reception (no lift). No breakfast... More

The Downtown Hotel staff were very warm, welcoming, and helpful. The hotel is located in downtown Soufriere, with great views of the water. It is not right on the beach, so plan on a little extra money for a boat taxi to one of the neighboring beaches. Restaurants around the hotel are very affordable, and the room was very comfortable...
