George Town hotels near 1st Avenue

Pros: We enjoyed everything about our stay. The staff were friendly and courteous, the breakfast was amazing and our suite was exceptional. The setting of the hotel facing the sea is absolutely beautiful and worthy of many photo opportunities. We plan to return next year for a longer stay!

Cons: Nothing, we loved everything!

Pros: Everything

Pros: Location

Pros: 1. Most - but not all - the staff are trying but they are pushing sh1t up hill in this dingy, dilapidated, dire hotel. 2. The massage parlour was excellent and good value for money

Cons: 1. Check in was a fiasco - booking could not be traced. 2. Breakfast fare very unimaginative and coffee machine was broken. 3. Aircon in our original room was not working - a bit better in the room we eventually occupied. 4. But the windows and carpets in this room were filthy. 5. Lifts are not aligned with guests regularly tripping. 6. We had to visit the washroom in the lobby to replenish the loo paper in our bathroom. 7. Cupboard doors would not shut properly so the interior light was on all the time, including at night. 8. Only one sports channel which was showing beach volley-ball instead of UK premier league - handset was not working. 9. The (so called) Club Lounge comprised a few arm chairs scattered around and little else. 10. Despite paying for late check out when we checked in, the room keys were not updated and did not work after the normal check out time without going back to reception. 11. WiFi was OK when it worked - but there was one user-name for the room and another for lobby ie we had to keep logging on whenever we left or entered the room. 12. The signature on a restaurant bill charged to the room account was a clear forgery. 13. Obvious collusion between hotel staff and local taxi drivers particularly on the airport run with refusal to use the meter.
