“A characterful hotel in a good location”
The room was beautiful with a nice bathroom and comfy beds, and everything felt very clean. There was a real history to the hotel. The pool was small but it was a pleasant place to sit and it was possible to get a drink from the adjacent bar (by the pool but run independently to the hotel). The staff were pleasant and the location was good to walk to nearby restaurants and tourist attractions.

“All in all a beautiful building in a great location. Staff excellent, reception very helpful”
The location was excellent except I wasn’t warned there was a huge construction site directly in front of the hotel with noisy work from 7am lasting all day even on a Sunday. That said the hotel and grounds were lovely, clean and the pool was always spotless. Excellent entertainment about 3 or 4 nights a week down at the bar area. Other guests and staff very friendly. Location excellent for getting around, especially for the water taxis to the cages which you catch just a 5 minute walk up the road.

The customer service was impeccable and our room - a Deluxe King - was very attractive, modern, and comfortable. There some lovely touches, such as a bottle of hot sauce as a gift, and we loved the B&W photos printed on canvas above the bed. We also felt safe at the hotel.

“Adequate”
The room that we were assigned was quite large. There is also a swinging bench on the third floor which is a lovely place to relax and watch the sunrise if you are an early riser. The pool has a lot of seating around it, but the pool itself is tiny. The rooms were clean, and the beds comfortable. The option for an extra cot was appreciated travelling as a family of 4. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is close to the ferry.

“Great House Inn Great All Around”
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

“Great historic location for exploring the city”
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
