“A little gem in Georgetown!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We had been staying with relatives around the corner but conditions were cramped and tempers began to fray so we booked in here for our last 5 nights. Wish we had done it sooner! Wonderful old colonial building with very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is amazing, like something from the 1960's, and really pretty at night with the open courtyard and water feature, and the food excellent and reasonably priced. My son is a chef so we can say this with confidence! The rooms are basically furnished with beautifully polished greenheart floors, but comfortable and in keeping with the climate. The AC was fine...kept the room a little too cool at times! The bathrooms are good and it was nice to have hot water. I am going to recommend this hotel to my friends who usually stay at The Pegasus...the only down side being that there is no swimming pool...but for a GY$400 taxi ride you can go to The Pegasus and join their swimming club for a reasonable price (I paid US$52 for a month). Many celebrities have stayed here, including Prince Charles, so it speaks for itself!

Room Tip: we stayed in room 106, part of the old building and had no problems. The only sounds we heard were...

“The good ,the bad and the ugly”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Just finished a five night stay and can report
The good.. Restaurant 's food outstanding, good tv in room, good location,good security
The bad... Wifi signal could not reach my room. Staff , with a few exceptions indifferent. Seemed clear they would rather be anywhere else but work. Opposite of staff at Asian hotels
The ugly... Impossible to sleep due to a plofiration of barking dogs at night. Last nite it went on from 11 pm to 1:30 am
Dogs surround the hotel neighborhood. When I complained apparently the owner of yelping dogs is an old lady and there is nothing they can do. The police apparently were even involved
And nothing .
Reason to avoid

A boutique hotel with both excellent service and meals. Older building, but good rooms, with quiet inner courtyard. Professional and friendly staff.

“With a colonial feel this is a good choice if passing through Georgetown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The lodge is based on a colonial property with attractive whitewashed balconies. We spent three nights here on our travels through Guyana, and it appears to be one of the better options in a relatively unattractive town.
Rooms are sizeable, clean and comfortable, the food is good, the beer is cold and the staff helpful - but don't expect lifts to get your luggage up to the top floor!
We left before dawn every day and the staff always cheerfully arranged an in-room breakfast. You could probably do much worse elsewhere in town!

“Basic comfort, little expensive...”

Probably still the bet choice in Georgetown. Clean rooms with basic comfort. Nothing special, a little expensive. Service is Guyana style, with a smile.
