“peaceful stay”
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.

“Historic hotel offering the very best of St. Helena”
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!

“A lovely hotel - THE hotel on the island.”
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.

“All in all, a really great place to stay when visiting St Helena”
The staff were absolutely amazing - always friendly, and very happy to assist with queries or point us in the direction of places / events of interest. Our room (room 5) was beautiful, well appointed, and cleaned daily, with a wonderful bathroom. When we had an issue with the hot water, it was sorted out incredibly promptly. There are also a lovely courtyard, where one could enjoy dinner or a drink / coffee in the evening. Well located in Jamestown, close to the seaside and other small businesses in the area. Special mention to Zunaid, Taz, Bob, and Ian for being so friendly!

“Great hotel and nice people”
Very clean and beautiful, small hotel in the heart of Jamestown (Well, it's not so big town, but anyway) Nice room and especially shower is special good. Hotels's restaurant is best in town and sometimes it was also only open as well (on July at Sunday) Special thing, I have travelled quite a lot, but I have NEVER met so warm, caring, helpfull and nice staff than in Mantis! Absolutely great!
