The hotel is convenient for taking the ferry. Though it is on the beach, but the beach is very dirty(Fishermen beach) The hotel maintains its charm. The rooms are clean, but there is no room service. You need to take your shoes out when you enter the rooms lobby. The roof is tall and fans are quite old and noisy.... More

..... But the beach seafood restaurant is JUST EXCELLENT. I did not stay in the hotel ( see previous review of the Banana) but was taken to the beach restaurant for lunch by some local friends. What can be better on a sunny day than good friends, the sea, fishing boats at anchor, beach and splendid food? We brought our... More

An old colonial hotel, which retains its charm, despite being quite basic. It is not centrally located but a bus gets you into Georgetown in less than 10 minutes. The rooms are large, with high ceilings, big flimsy doors and clean, old candlewick bedspreads. Ours ( no. 5) facing the sea had its view obscured by its separate (and expensive)... More

Hotel reception ran very responsive people. Hotels in this building is already 70 years and it is really felt. In rooms was available a fast Wi Fi connection. Hotel is located in front of a popular seafood restaurant, which every night was completely full. Hotel is located about 30-40 minutes walk from the center of Georgetown. Nearby there was no... More

To get to the rooms, have to take off our shoes at the bottom of the stairs and stow them upstairs (no lifts as it is just a 2 storey bungalow). Rooms were spacious and comfortable enough. Had to...

We were quite disappointed of this hotel. It is run down, the furniture is old and they did not even put in the effort to unwrap the lamps from their original packaging. The breakfast is not really a breakfast and we were the only guests eating in the breakfast room...a lady brought us plain toast and butter/jam and we then... More

Our Twin room was fine. A bit run down and the shower could have done with a scrub, but the room was big, had a fan and air conditioning. The beds were comfortable, even iff the sheets were the wrong size. It is about a 15 minute walk into the centre, but its in a ver quiet location and the... More

Very nice old colonial building with plenty of charm to spare. Rooms were alright as long as you get one with an original 'high' ceiling. The off-putting thing here has to go with its location. Unfortunately Google's scale is a bit off on its Georgetown map and Paramount looks closer to the centre of town than it really is. A... More
