One of the few buildings left in lower town, The old Gin House offers great accommodation right below Fort Oranje and the settlement on the cliff. Right next to tje hotel also on the lower town is a FANTASTIC restaurant (The Barrel House) and a diveshop/bar/souvenir place (Squbaqua). Included a la carte breakfast has excellent. I recommend "the Gin House breakfast" from the menu.

Couldn't adjust the temperature of the water in my room. Mattresses on the bed were a bit worn and had me roll down to one side each night. Price is rather steep compared to what you get, but so is every option on Statia.

I liked that the staff was very attentive and helpful. The pool was very nice and clean . Room was very clean.

I didn’t like that i had internet problems and tv problems that i had to wait for a bit to be resolved, as i was traveling with my two kids and after a long day of travel they just wanted to relax. Elevator was not working. I didn’t like that the sofa was discolored and peeling; there was peelings everywhere after we set up the sofa bed.

Clean quiet spacious room. Great huge bathroom - lots of hot water in large shower. Big comfy bed Lovely bar/terrace area on the water with dining area for sunset dinners, with good service and good food. Other Dinner options nearby. Short steep hike up to the fort and town for siteseeing and lunch. Helpful staff Variety of room options so study them carefully and ask questions. Quick taxi connections to ferry and airport. I can't imagine staying anywhere else on Statia.

Vast room was dark w/one tiny window and gray with little decor Pool area under construction No 24/7 reception staff Food is quite expensive ANYWHERE on Statia as it all has to be brought in.

Location was great. Property has a lot of character and is under renovation to make even nicer. Pool is very nice. Breakfast options were broad, served quickly and delicious. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

Lighting didn’t work. Overhead bulbs worked but some lamps did not.

Room had a double balcony right over the ocean. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves. We had the large two room suite, so very comfortable.

Missing the remote for the Fire stick. Bathtub out of service.

Good breakfast with a lot of egg-possibilities. They washed our laundry for a small fee. One of the servants arranged a scooter for us. The location is perfect, snorkelspot directly on the other site of the (quiet road).

The small biting flies.

Very laid back experience. Not much to do on the island but that's what we wanted. Very helpful staff who made the place.

Roadworks. Face lifting of Hotel whilst guests were there although wasn't that intrusive.

Great breakfast and our room had the best view overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Knowing ahead of the time the restaurant was closed the only 2 nights we were there on Tuesdays & Wednesdays.

The room itself was very nice: big, clean and comfortable. Very nice breakfast.

Noise and dust around the swimming pool area due to maintenance.
