Perfect for a relaxing, worryless stay

This is a place has your typical hostel needs well covered. The common area is super pleasant, it's in a terrace, so there's no lingering kitchen smells. I got a private room, it had bunk full size beds,it was comfortable. There was a shower and a sink. There's not hot water, but you really don't need it, in Antigua, even the rain feels warm.

I loved the ease of everything on this property. The lockers have hooks so you can use your own personl lock to secure your stuff. There a doctors office on site to get your covid test before you fly back into the US. They even do your laundry and fold it for a small fee (around $13). The manager if most helpful if there is anything you need to know around the island she will guide you and help you with a huge smile on her face. I have been to many hostels before and this is my favorite one.

Amazing on site staff, but double check amenities

The on site staff (I mainly interacted with Kim) is fantastic, & they do an amazing job at keeping the property looking great. However, be aware, that when it says a superior room is "bathroom & shower", it is only a shower & a sink; THERE IS NO TOILET IN THE ROOM. This was not a huge deal; it's just when you think when you're getting your own bathroom & don't have one, it is a bit of a disappointment. Also, it says that a superior room has air conditioning, & we did not have air conditioning; there was a ceiling fan & floor fan instead. If you have a rental car, you need to find off-site parking, which was not an issue, but just know not to look for a parking lot to pull into. It is a beautiful, open patio; we watched NYE fireworks from there bc we did not want to be around crowds bc of COVID, & it was a fantastic view. Also, very convenient location to walk everywhere; we did not get into our car once while we were there.

thought it was great

Maybe because there was only one other guest there during my stay,but I thought it was great, very convenient, close to many restaurants, the kitchen facilities were great. A quick walk to Nelsons dockyard , grocery store was about 1km away

Great to meet folks!

Single rooms are adequate for an inexpensive stay, but the real PLUS is the open front porch and eating area. An excellent place to gather and meet folks at night. easy walk to the harbor and neighboring bars and restaurants. Very nice staff and owners.

Antigua trip for Sailing

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the waterfront Inn Hotel both before and after my RYA sailing course in Antigua. The experience was fantastic with such a great location, clean and tidy with great views of the Marina. It is literally on the doorstep of everything that is happening in that part of Antigua. The owners of the hostel are so friendly and helpful being a wealth if knowledge on the area. The international mixture of guests of all ages makes the communal areas and fully equipped kitchen a hive of relaxed conversations and trip planning. With plenty of space on the elevated terrace area to find a space to work, just chill out alone using the fast internet or grab a book from the collection and lose an hour or two. I really enjoyed my stay there and look forward to my next visit. Carl

Nicht ansatzweise zu empfehlen

Jeder weiß, dass Antigua teuer ist, aber hier ist die Gegenleistung eine Katastrophe. Fast 80$ für ein 6 qm Zimmer ohne WC mit einem viel zu großem Ventilator. Entweder das Doppelte für eine anständige Unterkunft oder zu Hause bleiben.

Je suis restée 1 semaine au Waterfront Inn et j'ai beaucoup aimé. J'étais dans une chambre individuelle (Ensuite B) et c'était parfait. J'avais une terrasse privée, tout le confort nécessaire (climatisation, salle de bain privée, bouilloire, etc.). Les photos sont conformes à la chambre. La localisation est idéale. Proche des restaurants (celui en face du Waterfront est excellent) et bars, des plages (Pigeon et Galleon), de la Marina, d'un supermarché, des transports en commun (ligne 17) J'ai rencontré des belles personnes. Kim est très gentille, à l'écoute, prête à aider, souriante. Les deux dames qui s'occupent du Waterfront aussi sont géniales et font un boulot colossal pour garder cet endroit propre et accueillant. Petits hics : il n'y a pas d'eau chaude et en fin de journée, les moustiques sont de sortie et ont très faim.
