“When the price does not match the quality”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

For what 100 Euros? This is prime example of lack of competition in Pointe-à-Pitre. Hotel Saint John Perse is the only hotel in town, what I know. And I know if we didn´t wait for morning ferry to Dominica or we had better knowledge of the islands before we'd never stayed here. Good location nearby port is of course an advantage but this is the end with a list of pros. There are many cons on the contrary here. Excluding the price it's definitely noise and a lack of lights in the rooms. If you do not have to stay in this hotel because of very early morning transit to other destination, avoid it. Try rather not far Gosier where you can find many options.

“Extremely Adequate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2011

Like many other reviewers, my husband and I stayed here after a sailing trip and before an early morning flight back to the US. I had read the reviews, but the English friends who sailed with us and stayed here on the night of their arrival, had nothing but good things to say about the hotel (they also had read the reviews).

We paid 90 Euro for our room, which was a corner room on the second floor. It was a reasonable size with a decent double bed with two bedside tables and lamps. The a/c system worked and was not noisy. Small fridge and a room safe, which we did not use. Small TV on the wall which we did not use either. Little balcony outside where my husband could smoke.

Bathroom was in the corner of the room, separated by a frosted glass wall and door. Bath with shower over that could be removed as a hand held shower. Water pressure was not good, but the temperature was fine. Soap and sachets of shampoo, and reasonable towels.

We left too early (6:00 am) to have breakfast, but our friends said it was more than adequate, with eggs cooked to order. We had dinner in the separate courtyard restaurant next door (Shalimar), and can recommend the goat curry and the service. They were even happy to let us drink the bottle of wine we had taken from the boat.

This hotel serves its purpose - Pointe a Pitre is not a resort town, but a pretty gritty industrial and port town. I would certainly stay there again - for one night.

“Don´t stay if you don´t have to!”

Nice lady in the reception. Small and dirty room, dirty toilet, cold water in the shower. The text at hotels.com said the room had satelite tv, but all the channels were french. Not to recommend, stay somewhere else!

“Just get a taxi to somehere else ... it's your holiday”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This place is a dump and it knows it. It makes money because not many people (myself included) know Guadeloupe enough to book any other place.

We arrived in the evening and found the room was overbooked and that the ony roo they had was an attic room It had just been vacated by the bell hop (poor guy) and was abysmal. Filthy and smokey. OK, so the guy lived there. but we all know that they double book every day.

I was promised a refund and ... guess what? No refund. many emails and still none.

Just get a taxi and go anywhere else. There are many nice places on Guadeloupe I later found out. Go try one.

“Don't Stay”

Stayed for one night Feb 09. Complete dump. €100 not worth €10. Take a taxi to Glosier! The only good thing is the location.

Hole in matress, room smelled. Felt like a prison.

This is the worse review I have written. I have stayed in many hotels all over the world and this was the worse for value.
