We followed a course in this hotel and stayed several days. The staff was fantastic and the service excellent. It as an amazing out side restaurant with very nice food. The restaurant inside was on the top of the hotel with a beautiful view over Port of Spain. The downside is that the hotel is not really on a walking... More

Stayed here for the last night in T&T. The first nights of our trip we stayed at the Hyatt and had an unforgettable stay. However we decided to save some money the last night when we got back from Tobago. Had we known what we know now we would gladly have paid the little difference(just a couple hundred TT) and... More

I was peasantry surprised by this hotel. The room was a good size and had all the modwrn amenities. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathrooms were basic but well maintained. The meals are ok, though not exceptional. You may find the air-con too noisy and the neighbor's dogs may keep you awake with their barking, but, overall, this is... More

I visited Trinidad on business and was booked into the Kapok Hotel, Port-of-Spain, for a six-week stay. It was comfortable and well-equipped, with two good restaurants and a new café which was under construction at the time. What really makes or mars a good hotel, though, is the attitude of the staff, and they were friendly and efficient, making me... More

I stayed at the Kapok Hotel in early March, right after Carnival. The lobby is nicely decorated in an Indonesian (Java or Bali?) style and a café is being added. My room's king bed was very comfortable and the bathroom recently remodeled. However, the blow dryer's integrated nightlight is useless as the light switch turns off all power to the... More

As a born and bred Trin "laventillonian" to be precise, we stayed at the kapok hotel in st. claire from 9th-30th Jan. and was applaud by the general lack of friendliness both from management and staff. I was prevented from taking a banana from the breakfast table. I was told by one of the supervisor it was company policy. whilst... More

Stayed here for a week long conference and must say the room was more than adequate in comfort and amenities. Yes, the decor may be bit dated; bathroom shower/tub a bit small; but overall, not deal breakers at all. Staff was friendly -- in the restaurants and the bar. The Tiki Restaurant was in all respect a Chinese restaurant. Hotel... More

This hotel is overpriced yet comfortable. Management needs to make a few changes to the room to update such as headboard and lamp shades which are outdated.Do not eat at the first floor Bois Cano.Eat at Tiki Village. Supervisor did not want to fix our meal which was horrible. We refused to pay for it. Very unfair service. Hotel has... More
