I stayed here with my 19 year old daughter last March. The hotel was the cheapest on the island and most certainly in the handiest location. We did not have high expectations as this is part of the beauty of the island in that it is relatively unspoilt and NOT overcrowded with touristy accommodation. You still get roaches however much you pay! We found the staff very friendly and obliging, the room clean - we had a laugh when the water went off after a thunderstorm but this is part of the charm. The location is safe at night, inhabitants of Tortola are very friendly and charming - they even stop their cars to let you across the road!
Would recommend going to the island sooner rather than later as Ive heard that one of the hotel chains is to build there soon.

PS the elevator does work - its just not used very often but they will put it on for you if you ask!!

This was a goofy place which we chose because of its convenient location before our charter started.
It has surely seen better days, and we had quite a laugh over the dried up ancient jacuzzi and the only escalator in the BVIs. It didn't work. The bathrooms were clean and had nice fresh towels. I had a new mattress, so that was nice, but my room window looked out to a hallway. The air conditioning and ceiling fan worked. So you get what you pay for, but I think this property could have been a gem once upon a time. If you have low expectations, this place will exceed them.

This hotel was selected from a catalog sent by the Tortola Chamber of Commerce. The photo and description looked attractive enough. We stayed in Road Town while returning from a week on Virgin Gorda. Initially, we were put in a claustrophia-inspiring windowless room replete with bed bugs and roaches. That room had a strangely sweet smell that we have read is a sign of bed bug infestation. We were allowed to change rooms when these were shown to the desk clerk. We were told there was a one-time option to point out any flaws in our new room. It was significantly more spacious, with three double beds. We gingerly inspected one of them and decided to sleep on it. We kept our suitcases as far away from the beds as possible and kept them closed at all times. Upon returning home, we unpacked in the garage and took our clothes straight to the washing machine, During the evening of our stay, a very large roach skittered up the wall. Our sleep was fitful although the place was quiet. Packaged ice and bottled water were provided by the management. This was a nice amenity. The area around the hotel looks rough at night. We got off the street around 5 PM. The location was very handy to shopping, a good local cafe and the famous Pusser's Pub. Pusser's was marvelous, racous while the cruise ships were docked and very pleasant when there were fewer tourists. The pain killers, for which the pub is famous, are superb. Pusser's was our refuge. The Sea View Hotel, where we stayed while en route to Virgin Gorda is vastly superior, a good choice for the budget-minded tourist.
