Atelier Skalo Boutique Hotel

History and comfort and the right price. Just awesome

Wonderful stay, room always clean, attentive staff. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for 7 days and it truly became our home away from home. We enjoyed breakfast at the hotel for several days throughout our stay. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. They provided us with dining recommendations as well as helped us learn about the different sections of the island. Most times when I stay at a hotel, I don't interact with the hotel staff beyond check in and check out, but we got to know the staff and enjoyed talking with them and learning about the island. While there I celebrated my birthday and the staff decorated our room for the occasion. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for fantastic customer service!

This was our third visit to the Atelier Skalo Boutique Hotel, and once again, we had a wonderful experience. We had to change our reservation, and the hotel staff was understanding and efficient in helping us with that. Then we got two lovely surprises when we checked in; a personal and heartfelt note thanking us for the return business, and a free upgrade to a beautiful suite that happened to be available. LOVE this hotel and we will always stay there when traveling to or through Curacao.

Great location, friendly staff.

Excelente estadia, nosso check in foi muito bem feito e com muita simpatia. Adoramos nosso apartamento e localizacao. Recomendo!

Excellent

Quiet and historic

The staff was accommodating and I loved my room!

This was our second stay, and it was another very pleasant experience. We are very likely to choose this hotel again whenever we might be staying in Willemstad.

Well situated... Amazing, accommodation, friendly staff, and very secure. Right through everything so you can reach easily by foot

Very nice place to stay really nice. I really enjoy my time there and I’ll be back again. The only thing I do not like is that check-in is at three in the afternoon so if you have a early flight, it’s bad but you can always go have lunch and then come back. Or change and go in the pool staff is very nice and professional it’s a I give everything a 9/10

The location of this hotel cannot be beat. Easy walking to everything in Punda and Otrabanda. the pool is not large, but it is clean and was never crowded. We parked our rental car every evening on the narrow street on the harbour side, without too much difficulty. Keep in mind that many local (who work in the city) take advantage of the free parking because it is an easy walk into town. That makes parking between 8am and 5pm tricky.

Comfortable bed, bathroom smelled moldy/mildewy due to lack of ventilation. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice outdoor spaces for relaxation. Pool was sunny and nice to cool off in.

Walking distance to many restaurants, cafes, supermarket and punda beach. distanced well enough from everything to keep a chill quiet place to hang hat. Glad I picked Atelier. Oh and the breakfast was nice and staff were both classy and pretty.

In a quiet place but within minutes of the main area.. good sized rooms and a lovely pool for an afternoon dip in the heat.

Very cute boutique hotel.

The hotel inside is beautiful. Nice terraza to sit and work on laptop etc. But just have you repellent with you to spray your legs for mosquitos. You might get one or two… The room was clean, the bed was good. The bathroom also cleaned. Loved the shower. You can adjust the temp up to 38.5°C! There’s air-conditioning, mini fridge, coffee-maker. The room door isn’t a modern doors so it opens/closes with an insert key just like a reg door. No electrical/swipe cards doors. Windows are closed pretty okay but due these types of windows (wooden shutter) you hear everything that’s happening outside. Staff were really really nice. Their breakfast was also good. They have a refrigerator in the lobby that you can buy water or other type of drink. The swimming pool is in front, looks nice at night with blue lights. There’s a security guard ‘till 12am. They communicate through whatsapp as well. I’ve spoken to staff and the whole hotel is under renovation. Buildings surroundings are part of the hotel and projects are going on, but at the moment the area isn’t that safe after 12am to walk. You have to be careful. Unfortunately there’s still a street closeby the hotel that isn’t safe to walk through at night at all. But as been told by staff, these will soon change due renovation and in the area properties were sold to make this all more beautiful and safe. Security won’t be after 12am till morning so your car will be a 50/50 safe outside. Just don’t let things in the car.

lovely spot!

Boa localização, fácil ir andando para os restaurantes e lojas do centro de Punda e Pietermaai. Atendimento ótimo da recepção, tive um imprevisto com o carro e a recepcionista fez todas as ligações para chamar o seguro. Quarto limpo com troca diária de toalhas e excelente ar condicionado e frigobar. Recomendo muito, excelente custo benefício.

The owner and staff were super friendly and helpful. They truly understand service and making you feel special. The location of this hotel is one of its biggest assets, it is a very short walk to the shopping and dining options in Punda, where you can then walk across the swinging bridge into Otrobando. We walked everywhere around Willemstad comfortably. We rented a car for 3 days and it was easy enough to travel the island and get back to the hotel; parking is very limited. I've read reviews where people gripe abut everything not being perfect..there are no perfect hotels. This is a quaint facility, kept clean and tidy, with a very nice dipping pool at a terrific location and with a good value. We are discussing coming again someday...

We really appreciated the warm welcome after a long flight. Spacious room and very comfortable bed. Good breakfast, although the signs about a charge for a second hot drink are a bit off-putting. Very clean and staff are very helpful. A little oasis of calm! Very convenient for all locations. Some noise from the alleyway. All in all, a very enjoyable stay!!

We did love this place. Staff were very helpful, nice and cool. Beds very confortable, nice pool, very well located. Easy to park.

Nice place. Staff very nice. Close from the port. Everything is at a walking distance.

Clean room in a historic hotel in a UNESCO neighborhood with a private pool with views, what more could we ask for?

It is a very nice hotel in every aspect, the administrative and the service people are awesome.I recomend it.

Wonderful visit! Good breakfast! Staff went above and beyond.

Clean, and beautiful very close to bus, bridge. Only thing need restaurant in side. Staff very friendly.

Boutique hotel in center of town, very interesting conversion/restoration of an older building. I would expect that each room will be different, maybe very different. We had a deluxe studio suite, with a balcony, nicely and interestingly decorated, bathroom was small in a European way. AC was a "mini-split" and worked perfectly and was quiet. No elevator, many rooms on second story, stairs are steep. Nice, if small, pool, heated.

The hotel is a restored colonial style building and is very well maintained. It still has all the comforts of a modern hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had been traveling in the Caribbean for a few weeks at this point staying in airbnbs which were all nice but not as well kept as this place. What I liked best was that it was the most sealed room I had been in for weeks. Even the fairly nice Airbnb’s we had been staying in were not the most sealed and we spent a few more nights than we would like sleeping in the same company as geckos and mosquitos, so the tightly sealed doors and windows were very much appreciated. It has a nice little pool with a decent view of some cool colonial style buildings. It is a short walk to a neighborhood with lots of shops and places to eat and drink. Very nice accommodation but one thing I must mention was after using the shower the drain had a fairly unpleasant oder coming out of it. That may be something you deal with when staying here as my wife’s asked about the smell and the employee stated it is an issue with the city so there is not much at the moment that can be done. To the credit of the employee, she was quick to bring up an air diffuser to help with the smell. So her willingness to do what she could went a long way with us.

The property overall was pretty nice, but there was no where to hang you clothes, no dresser and very limited area in the bathroom to hang towels, cosmetic bag etc. The staff was helpful and the pool and location were nice.

Excellent location to walk around town. Staff were fantastic and helpful. However no hot water to take shower in morning.

C'est un excellent hôtel, avec un très bon service. Les installations sont de bonne qualité et nouvellement rénovées. C'est dans un coin de la ville proche de la plupart des sites d'intérêt. Le quartier est en redéveloppement. Ce n'est pas le coin le plus agréable, mais c'est à 3 minutes à pied de certains endroits plus touristiques. Il faut noter que la plupart des chambres n'ont pas de fenêtres vers l'extérieur à proprement parler. Donc, c'est un petit peu "renfermé". Mais les chambres sont de très bonne qualité. La connexion internet fonctionne très bien. Et la piscine est agréable. La cour arrière est aussi un bel endroit où se reposer et manger.

Excellent staff and quiet location steps from the main area of Curaçao

A beautiful building, a warm and welcoming staff, and our room was unique and wonderful. Add to all that, a terrific value for the money. We'll definitely look to stay here again on our next trip to Curacao.

Lovely small boutique hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic room with a huge terrasse. We absolutely come back.

Great property and friendly staff!!

Tudo foi perfeito... O ambiente do hotel e ótimo e os funcionários são pessoas maravilhosas. Não sei se existe melhor opção em Curaçao.

Average at best, sketchy neighborhood. Loud construction noise. Parking is not free, got charged $5 for gated parking area, great but not when the gate doesn’t open ruining a dinner reservation.

Atelier Skalo goes above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any requests. The room was perfectly designed and comfortable. The hotel also offers a lovely outdoor swimming pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Willemstad. A highlight of the stay was the opportunity to explore the nearby art scene. The hotel is surrounded by colorful murals that reflect the island's artistic spirit. We had a car to explore the more distant national parks and beaches. This the perfect spot from which to explore the entire island in addition to wandering the picturesque streets nearby and crossing the Queen Emma pontoon bridge. The location was really ideal for us. Our stay at Atelier Skalo Boutique Hotel was nothing short of delightful. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Curacao!

The unique about the hotel is the costumer service, Savi was exceptional! Friendly, professional, and efficient from check-in to check-out. She went above and beyond to ensure a smooth stay and was always ready to help with a smile. Great first impression of the hotel!”

Tremendous experience. We stayed in one of the deluxe one bedrooms with kitchenette. Suite was recently renovated, very clean, comfortable furniture and bed, effective and quiet air conditioning, well layed out bathroom with spacious shower. Fast and seamless WiFi. Lovely terrace and very clean 24 hour pool, with a view of the floating market. Desk and housekeeping staff are top notch. Helpful, proactive, and great advice. Overnight on site in person security guard was actively walking the halls and checking gates. Free on street parking is reasonably easy to find right at the hotel. Location is great. Parts of Scharloo seem to be in transition, but overall it feels as safe to walk as any part of Punda, day or night. Not as much retail right at hand, but it's a short and pleasant walk across the bridge to Punda. Floating market is right there for fruit and veg, with a few mini marts within a short walk for other necessities. All in all, tremendously pleased with this spacious, attractive and very well run hotel.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was welcoming and thorough with instructions prior to arrival. I got to check in at 12 despite normal checkin being at 3:00pm. My room had a balcony by a large three with a table and chairs outside the balcony- made perfect for easy morning coffee and a good read. the room was clean and all the things I needed. I wish there was a TV in the living area and not the bedroom but I am just nitpicking here. The pool is 24 hrs which was great- I suggest they create a shower by the pool- maybe it's there and I missed it. the staff was amazing and gave great advice. the location cannot be beat for the price! my only thing with location is that as a visitor it kinda felt iffy, but once you started going out and coming back you realized its very safe and you'll be ok.

By far one of my best stays! The location is perfect- you're right by downtown where everything happens. While I am not the biggest fan of the street the hotel is on, may seem intimidating at nights, it was very safe. My room was great, love the windows; table and chairs by my window, loved the huge tree in the yard. The 24 hr pool was a great touch. The staff is very attentive and easy. to talk to- feel free to ask them questions of where to go, local transportation, you're adventurous. There was construction while I was there, but honestly, it wasn't a bother to me as I spent most of the day touring the island. I strongly recommend and I will be staying there on my next trio.

Wonderful time spent here for a solo trip. No complaints!!

I love this hotel. It’s near everything and it walking distance I became like a local very quickly. The staff was helpful, even stayed on ft The other me at I got lost finding the bus depot. I cannot say enough great things!

Great location. Super close to points of interest (~10 minutes), but still at some distance so it is not so loud. Staff is very friendly.

Very pretty, super clean, incredibly friendly. Small pool but refreshing and cute. Close to everything but in a quiet area.

Awesome staff, location genuine authentic feeling. A few blocks away “ladies of the night” , BUT still a safe location and just a few min walk away to all the restaurants and sights. Still a WIN!!

The hotel was great, the room is very comfortable and the staff is very kind and always willing to help if you need something. Location was perfect only 5 five minutes walking distance from Queen Emma’s Bridge.

The most perfect place to stay right across a small bridge from Willemstad. So close to everything so so calm and quiet on property.

La atención de su duen̈a maravillosa. El hotel muy acogedor. Los desayunos excelentes

They did not mention about the free parking process. No free parking i was charged for it.

Although not in the centre of the tourist area it was an easy walk over the bridge to Punda. Room was excellent and the service by staff was superb. The pool was great to cool down and relax, a great addition. Would definitely stay there again, thank you for such fantastic service.

Was an incredible experience for one night at the hotel. Highly recommended, thanks for all the hospitality.

The room was large with everything needed. Only drawback was no electrical outlet in the bathroom or near a mirror. The location is great - walking distance to much of the center of Willemstad. Free parking is just around the corner from the entrance. The pool is nice as well as the courtyard.

Really enjoyed my time here. The room was large with everything needed. Only drawback was no electrical outlet in the bathroom or near a mirror. I used the pool a couple of times and asked for a few things I needed and the staff delivered promptly. The location is great - walking distance to much of the center of Willemstad. Free parking is just around the corner from the entrance.

My wife and I had such an amazing stay here. We loved it so much we are planning our next trip back next year. The hotel and the patio areas are beautiful. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful with our questions. We loved the area as well, just a quick walk over the bridge and dozens of places to eat.

Family owned, excellent service and your stay is like you are part of the family!

What a gorgeous boutique hotel in this renovated 17th century beauty! Beautiful pool overlooking the picturesque floating market & walkable to everything! Elsje was extremely sweet & super helpful! She allowed me to extend my stay before I needed to check into another for a conference! Highly recommend this beautiful historic beauty! Such a lovely serene courtyard too!

Quarto aconchegante, limpo, tudo mto bom!

The Antique Stlye of the Hotel is really nice! And above all, the staff of the hotel is warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about where to go for delicious meals and island activities.

beautiful property and rooms, zero sound proofing though but it is nice to here the courtyard tree rustle in the wind at night

I have a fantastic experience here. The staff is terrific, and the place is beautiful. It is very close to the city center and has excellent facilities.

Located in a quiet area just a few steps north of old Willemstad. Staff are friendly. I enjoyed my stay.

Very cute hotel, staff was very welcoming, it’s a good place to stay if you like to explore the island, and just need a place to stay, very close to the bridge, restaurants everything walking distance, I recommend it!

Great spot in an up and coming neighborhood. Just a jump over the bridge to Punda and Otrabanda. Beautifully redone historic building - the owners have done a great job in renovating while leaving the historic integrity of the space. Our host was the most amazing and very ensured we were at home the whole time. We had everything we neededThank you Corrisa!

The rooms were very clean. Inside the property, it is very beautiful. I can't wait to go back when everything is finished with the pool area. It looks like it is going to be beautiful.

Hotel is excellent, staff is great, quite are that is developing

The hotel itself is a bit tricky to find, but once we found it the staff was so kind and helpful! They use WhatsApp to be in constant communication, which was amazing and they met all our needs prior to arrival of what we needed in the room! The hotel itself is under alittle renovation, so the pool isn’t complete yet and some of the rooms are out dated, but once it’s complete it will be a true gem! Walkable to town, which was convenient. Someone mentioned the area might not be the safest, but we felt safe walking at night. The one thing that bothered us was the noise. It sounded like they were having car races outside the hotel every night until 3-4 am!

Very clean. The room was spatious, well-designed, artistic and comfortable. Great location. Easy access to the sights and sounds of the downtown area including the restaurants and shopping.

Muy buena atención! Excelente sitio y regresaría nuevamente
