    Staff was nice. Didn't like the desk reference to breakfast included when it was for some other program. Very confusing.

    Construction across street was noisy. Steps weren't good for some of guests. Cafe staff person not friendly.

    Breakfast was lacking and overpriced. Next door at the Treehouse has probably the BEST food in Belize City. There are 4 dogs who guard the residence next door and bark throughout the night.

    This place and the surrounding area is SAFE. Pool was refreshing, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The history of the building was amazing. Within walking distance, is the Water Taxi where you can purchase drinks, snacks and souvenirs.

    I stayed one night during my visit. The location is great … right by the sea. I hope the owners consider a full renovation to update the property fixtures and furnishings. Keep the property style if they wish but it’s time for an update. The staff was great and the price was acceptable.

    The construction!!

    Belize -- a true melting pot reflected in its people, languages, cultures, vistas, regions and cuisines, a strong dedication in preserving its history, biodiversity, and natural wonders, a must for open minded travelers. A stunning country on the eastern coast of Central America, by renting a car, I witnessed spectacular places, including San-Ignacio, Balmonte, Cayo, Maya-Beach, Seine-Bight, Placencia, Santa-Cruz, Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, Hidden-Valley, Chan-Chich, the lush Hummingbird Highway, and Hopkins. By taking the excellent ferry system, I saw San-Pedro, the South and Secret beaches in Ambergris Caye, and bohemian Caye Caulker. And at last, I took the time to appreciate Belize City, where I stayed on 3 returns, at The Great House Inn, for unique experiences. It is always difficult to resume such a journey... here are my best memorable photography! Please do enjoy! Paul

    At this moment, there is a building in progress opposite to the hotel, so there was so.much noise due to the work (during the day).

    Everything was ok There was 1 bottle of 1 liter of water available per day. There was a coffee pot and coffe to prepare. And, there were conplimentary bananas.

    Safe location, comfortable room, but construction on a nearby hotel might be a bummer

    Just a heads up, there is construction on a big giant Hotel property across the street that was only about a third of the way completed as of January 2025. So if you wanna enjoy the hotel grounds or sleep in or take a nap, just be aware that might be a bummer. But if you are going to be out and about and just come back here to sleep, it won’t be an issue. We saw construction, but it didn’t mess with our sleep.

    Our room was very nice and the bed was decent. We had a mini fridge, and although the balcony is a shared balcony, it’s nice to have a couple of chairs to sit outside. The pool wasn’t in the direct sun, but it’s nice that they had a pool. The showers and hot water and air conditioner all worked great. The check-in and checkout process was super easy. This hotel was within 10 minutes. Walking of a few different nice restaurants. And it is in a safe part of town.

    Had a roof leak into my bathroom upon check-in. Staff was very helpful and accommodating by moving me to another room. Overall rooms were dated but mostly kept in nice condition.

    Great friendly staff. Free banana for a snack and great location for my diving trip. Location is perfect for jumping on the Aggressor dive boat with a simple walk to the dock. Did not have breakfast included in my package, so cannot comment on that. Not many breakfast establishments located nearby, so something to think about.

    There is no restaurant. There is a bar but was not open. There is a very bad smell at the seating area near the pool. The walking area to the pool looks bad when you look down to the right. Across the street there is a large construction site where there is a new hotel being built , they just started building, and the pile driving noise starts at 7 am.

    The room was gorgeous, colonial, lots of space, comfortable bed Ms Garcia at front desk very friendly Nice little swimming pool and sitting area. Close to some other restaurants and the ferry where you can book all kinds of tours. We loved Martha’s Cafe on the water.

    You couldn't lock the door with the doorknob, only with the key, had to take the key everywhere with a big wooden sign with the room number on it. Noise of construction right outside the window - they are building a multi-storey hotel, deadlines are tight, so they are building at night.

    Very cosy room with large comfortable bed

    The noise from the fridge in Room 7. We had to unplug it at night. And the door lock was temperamental. We never tried breakfast as we liked Martha’s for brunch

    History of the place is fascinating. Our room was huge as was the bathroom. We were at the back so no sea view but plenty of places to sit on balconies across the property. Great restaurants nearby by. Martha’s was amazing as was the Whiskey Bar

    Would be great to have a restaurant or bar operating at the hotel. Also would be good to have blinds in some of the rooms given the curtains are thin so the morning light comes in brightly.

    Unique hotel with character in a nice location close to the water taxi. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Friendly staff and the free bananas are a nice touch.

    Rather expensive, no breakfast (it was Christmas, though, so I think on a normal day there would be).

    Wonderful staff and rooms. Beautiful home! The staff were extraordinarily helpful and kind. For this reason alone I would stay here again any time I'm in Belize City.
