    It is in quite a noisy area in Philipsburg right next to a school.

    The friendly hosts Esther and Barbara are amazing!

    It’s not a luxury property, but as a reasonably priced place to lay your head at night, so you have more funds left to enjoy your days, it’s wonderful.

    A little off the beaten path on the beach, but easy walk to the beach.

    Very comfortable, clean, well kept and decorated. Nothing fancy, but just right! I recommend this property, especially if you are going on a cruise.

    No elevator. And many stairs up to reception room. I would have appreciated information about this in the description of the hotel by Booking.com. Noice from outside. There was disturbing noice at night but fortunately I had earplugs. The fridge was noicy.

    The nice ladies at the reception were very kind, accommodating and serviceminded. The room was clean, well furnished and made me feel at home. I really enjoyed the interior design.

    There was a lot of light coming in through the front window as the corridor lights were left on all night and also the light from the air conditioning unit was really bright.

    Lovely friendly welcome from Barbara who looked after our luggage, got us an early check in and booked us a morning taxi.

    There were a few mosquitos but I don’t think there was any way to get around that.

    Staff was very helpful and cheerful and the central location to beach, eateries, transportation. Also, we got beach towels. Great all female staff. Thank you so much!

    The crickets outside are extremely loud at night, but very characteristic of St Martin. I thought it was a broken alarm going off, but it's the crickets! The rooms don't have a view as they are sandwiched between two buildings.

    Excellent location in the heart of Philipsburg, minutes away from the beach. Local bus stops right outside the hotel. Clean room. Nice size. AC works well. There's a fridge. Very basic room, but for a 2 star hotel it's fine. Kind staff.

    The few quirks I have mentioned at checkout - like not enough power outlets and too much light in the room at night.

    Philipsburg is mostly geared to cruise travellers; however its nice to find some normalcy on Backstreet, where the real people are and to have a simple but nice and welcoming Inn, with exceptional ladies running it. I found all that I needed for a couple of days of work on the island.
