Hotel Boutique precioso en un lugar histórico impresionantemente bello
Todo en general
It was exquisite

Everything!

Location very convenient for Dockyard touring, restaurant quality excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms are large.
I think for the off season perhaps the room cost was too high in my opinion. I would be more inclined to return off season with more attractive rates.
Vakre fasiliteter. Fint rom.
Savnet ett litt mer serviceinnstilt personale. Alle var ok hyggelige. Og et stort minus var at man ikke får vann til frokost. Det tar jeg for gitt. Men måtte betale ti dollar for hver vannflaske ved utsjekk. Tenker man bør kunne tilby kunden vann til frokost.

Great historical place. Wonderful location and excellent services. Good food. Very friendly staff - good people! Beautiful sunset and views!
In house 1 the WiFi coverage is not sufficient and it only reaches the front door. If you are in bed - no internet :) No real beach at the hotel. You need to take a boat to the near by beach. The AC was making a lot of noise during the night - I informed the reception but they told me they could not do anything about it. Also some days there was a noise from the nearby yachts at 5-6 am.
Absolutely beautiful boutique feel hotel, spotlessly clean and lovely staff. The location is excellent and they have a shuttle boat to the other side and a beautiful beach as well as snorkel equipment and kayaks and paddle boards. Cannot recommend enough.

Absolutely stunning property and location
Nothing - was all superb
Loved the colonial style, very historical. Beautiful decor, very helpful, friendly staff. Room was very comfortable and the best was the daybed in the porch!!! The little boat ride to the Boom restaurant is fun
Nothing - what’s not to like? 😊
Historic charm, understated luxury complemented by a relaxed atmosphere, and great service. We loved the waterside restaurant and especially the waiter service for breakfast. Much nicer than the buffet breakfast that most hotels offer. On top of this, the setting within a historic dock yard was fantastic, never over-busy but always something happening. We also loved the water taxi, as the resort is on both sides of the harbour. What's more, the taxi will take you to a fantastic beach and beach bar too.
Amazing property in English Habour & the staff were great 😊

Many of the original features remain from when it was. A Royal Navy dockyard.

Staff, view, lobby, breakfast, pool area and restaurant
the room was a little disappointing . We knew it was a Loft in a heritage property but it was a little tight, and the 'view' looked straight out into the Museum area. We found the Boat yard was very active early , so if you like a lie in this is not for you. Fortunately we were early risers, hikers. and swimmers so not a problem. In the garden by the restaurant is a 'dead water' spot where the column are. It smelt a little and would benefit for some circulation with fresh sea water.
The room was spacious, all appliances were working well, stuff was very welcoming and the breakfast was very good, with a lot of options to choose from.
The interior of the room could be improved. It looked rather old, and I didn’t like that the bathroom wasn’t separated by a full-height solid wall. Because of this, it felt quite chilly to take a shower while the room’s air conditioning was on. I also didn’t like that the door to the barracks was not self-closing, meaning anyone could come in. I would have preferred it to have a door closer and a magnetic lock installed, so that only people with smart cards could enter.
Excellent location , brilliant staff , and probably the best food in English Harbour . 3rd time here and will be coming back soon.
I liked everything
beauté de la maison et de la vue de la chambre, proximité d'une très jolie plage et gentilesse du personnel. Nous avons adoré l'hotel et le conseillerons à nos amis et nos proches sans hésiter. On se sent comme à la maison. Le plus : les massages sont formidables
le petit déjeuner est très bien mais c'est la seule chose qui pourrait éventuellement être améliorée
La posizione

What can I say, this is a unique, amazing place. It’s a piece of paradise. The service is very good, the staff is friendly, polite and welcoming. This is a place where you can come to relax. The beds are comfy, the ac works perfectly. The rooms are the perfect size. The food at the restaurant is excellent They have a boat that takes you directly to Galleon beach where you can snorkel
I would put better blinds on every window. Because at the moment the blinds let a lot of light in. Which wakes you up as soon as the sun comes out. The last day there was a cockroach in our room. The breakfast is good but very pricey
The location in English Harbor is amazing. The staff is lovely and accommodating.
Nothing.
Lovely hotel in great location. Loved the restaurant for dinner and pool was great and not too crowded for lunch. Nice getting the little boat across to the pool. Staff always there to take you
When a table is reserved in Boom Bar at lunch they should put reserved signs on the tables so you know where you can sit rather than being told to move
Lovely location and little town close is great
Tv in room
Outstanding location, beautiful historic buildings, and really comfortable and spacious room
Nothing
Upgraded room was great compared to a couple of years ago
Great location Beautiful building Nice staff Comfortable bed Good communication
Bathroom a bit small for a couple to use at the same time, understandable due to architecture of a historic building but something to bear in mind. The breakfast offerings would benefit from a quality review
Fantastic location in an amazing historical area of Antigua away from the crowds. Right in the centre of the old naval docks with plenty of restaurants within walking distance and two harbours full of amazing yachts and SuperYachts to dream about owning. Two good beaches with great restaurants (LOCA on Galleons and Catherine’s at Pigeon Point, which was a nicer beach but both are good). Would definitely recommend the area and hotel.
There was nothing majorly that we didn’t like.
Beautiful buildings and amazing location!
Rooms were a little dark - we had garden view rooms.
Excellent location, historic site and wonderful staff.
We stayed in the Loft room and it was very noisy. Very close to the street so from early in the morning you would hear a lot of talking. The only other thing was that the internet connection was really poor - if you are lucky enough to not need the internet when you are there, this won’t bother you too much. We had some work meetings and had to hotspot while roaming!
Beautiful location, calm, very historic. Quite a privilege to be able to stay in there beautiful old buildings
Nothing.

Everything! I can’t recall ever reviewing anywhere I’ve stayed but I feel compelled to leave a postive review for the Admirals. Historic setting, lovely staff, good food. The pool area is fantastic or you can hike (or drive) across to Pigeon Point beach. All in all a perfect start to our trip. I would have extended our stay had there been availability!
I’d recommend booking a sea view rather than Mountain View room
Beautiful location. Lovely ambience. Friendly Staff. Just a great experience
Location and historic character
Nothing
The hotel is located in the Nelson dockyards, a Unesco world heritage site. The premises are beautiful and historic, situated in a bay with lots of sailing boats. there is an excellent restaurant on site and ample outside space to sit and relax, either on the “Admiral” side, or by the pool on the “Gunpowder” side of the bay. A small boat goes back and forth between the two. Our room had an amazing view and beautiful wood floors and beams. The staff went above and beyond to greet us, answer all our questions and give us local recommendations. I would definitely stay again.
Nothing
Peaceful and magical. I would stay in the main house for charm- smaller rooms but attention to every detail. The gunpowder area (accross the water) have large villas but they lack the character of the main area- very modern, no charm. But you are closer go the pool and a very different feel- good for kids on gunpowder side
I found it odd for such a large and expensive facility that we had to carry our own bags - except when we arrived. Never experienced this except when i backpacked.
Great location, and beautiful hotel. The boat ride to the beach was very handy. So quiet when we went in August as it’s low season. Was like having a private villa.
I love the hotel. Very minor, but a warning about sea urchins at the beach would have been handy.
Quiet location. Was expecting free water for the price of the room... since an exaggeration that they want to charge for a bottle of water....
Great location and helpful staff
Historical, great food
Water pressure was not great a couple of times
Gorgeous property. The most helpful staff. Delicious food. Couldn’t recommend enough
Amazing historical property in a beautiful location.
Nothing
Amazing omelettes for breakfast !
Great location and fantastic views - staff very helpful! Will be back!
Some elements are potentially a bit tired, particularly the toilets by reception, however this is a very minor point in what was a great stay!
Terrible hotel. Zero customer service. Facilities in disrepair. Food makes you sick. Go to Copper and Lumbar instead for 1/3 the cost and a much better experience.
Nothing
Treated with contempt by the staff. Bed with blood on the sheets. Air conditioner not working. Farthest thing from luxury. Look elsewhere.
Location, atmosphere, room, breakfast, dinner, customer service.
Location very scenic . Great Spa treatment and restaurant
The room was very basic , no telephone communication, room entry door not hotel grade security.
Location can't be better. It's located right at the heart of the historical site of Nelson's Dockyard. It's very scenic to have a meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner - by the sea!
Nothing. But It would be great if the check-out time was at 12 noon.
Everything. It's like living on a historic museum film set. It's stunning.
Maybe Gould have done with some more furniture in our room eh. Sofa or chair
