Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Location was the best. This is the only hotel in town, this it can command a high price, though there is a lot of room for improvement to match the price. For example, breakfast could offer a healthier version, not just sausage, beans and bacon. Honey would be nice with oats. Some fresh fruit like oranges, bananas, fresh pineapples. With due respect that StHelena is an island and imports everything from South Africa, the hotel could make an effort to freshen up its fruit and vegetables offer. The staff is friendly however, a more agile and attentive service would be expected from one of the Accords Hotels.

Negative: See above, lack of fresh fruit! Lack of honey and a healthier options for breakfast. Staff needs to be more attentive to guests

Summary: The only hotel in town, convenient location but overpriced

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Excelent location to visit the island and to enjoy other spaces like commerce, restaurants, bars, museum, garden and Jacob´s Ladder. Very good and varied breakfast. Good internet access. Hotel restaurant somehow limited in terms of diversity but reasonable quality. Coffe and bottle of water always renewed at the room. Staff very kind and always available for your questions and needs.

Negative: Really nothing to mention.

Summary: peaceful stay

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Friendly staff members. Excellent location. Decent food. Decent room. Great opening hours of the kitchen.

Negative: Emails should be replied to in a timely fashion. The internet set-up is sketchy at best. The right word is annoying. It should be possible to make a cappuccino or espresso or an apperol spritz without having to buy the full bottle of proscecco. Is it an island thing that there are no nuts?

Summary: Do something about the internet and coffee thing. I was not the only one complaining.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Beautifully renovated historic hotel in the heart of Jamestown with the best restaurant in all of Saint Helena. Rooms comfortable with both a fan and A/C for those so inclined. The bathroom was spacious and well appointed. My room also had a small mini fridge and complimentary coffee/tea as well as a tasty turndown snack offered every evening that was well appreciated. All of the hotel staff were incredibly lovely with props to Marcia, Rejoice and Heidi for truly going above and beyond to help with local bookings, friendly tips and impeccable service. The breakfasts were delicious and the restaurant offered scrumptious meals with lots of local delicacies, produce and of course St. Helena's top quality bullseye, wahoo and tuna. Don't even bother looking elsewhere - stay at the Mantis and you'll be well sorted!

Summary: Historic hotel offering the very best of St. Helena

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Friendly reception staff. Friendly helpful manager.

Negative: Catering staff appear poorly trained. Food was mediocre but par for the island. Flies on the food at breakfast. I ordered an ice cream for dessert and it came on a plate all but melted.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Beautiful ex-East Indian Company HQ building from the 17th century in the very heart of Jamestown, just one minute away from the sea. Very well kept. English breakfast. The best place for eating out on the island. Spacious rooms with A/C.

Negative: You need to get used to the island's overall logistics situation - this affects everyone, including the hotels. So it can happen that they run out of eggs or yoghurt because the freight ship is late.

Summary: A lovely hotel - THE hotel on the island.
