Old Gin House has a great location. It is a 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal. The best dive shop on the island is across the street from the hotel. You can walk across the street to the beach for swimming and snorkeling. Food in the hotel restaurant is good.

Very nice suite with large sitting room containing two sofas and a separate bedroom with king size sleigh bed. Although there had obviously been some money spent on this hotel, it was probably 20 years back and is now looking a bit tired. The staff were great and the restaurant was excellent, but it is essential to book a table when you first check in. If your taste is for Marriott style hotels, this may not be for you, but if you enjoy quirky originality and local flavour, you will be pleased.

My room has a great view of the ocean and quite comfortable. The room comes with a small refrigerator and a coffee machine. A/C is sound is soft. There is not much of a beach since this is a volcanic island. Location is excellent. Scubaqua is 2 doors down, Barrel House restaurant is next door and Nats Boardwalk is a minute or two walk towards the dock. Old Gin House also has its own restaurant. The path up hill to town is next to the Old Gin House.

The moment we entered the property it was exactly what we wanted for a small island. Close to lots of historic buildings and still near the water with a fantastic restaurant. Pool was very enjoyable. Will stay at The Gin House if we return to Statia.

The new owners are working hard to refresh this historic property. The seaside location is a gem and the staff members are friendly and attentive (special shout-out to Julia). The full breakfast is a wonderful benefit, and my mahi-mahi dinner was absolutely delicious! An added bonus is the proximity to another excellent restaurant, as well as a scuba center for those who come to Statia to dive. Thanks to Peter and Jeanette and your amazing staff!

This place has potential, but has seen better days. In desperate need of an update. We were given the keys to our room and that was the last time we saw any staff at the hotel. The mosquitos in the room were terrible, the pool looked tired and the rooster woke you up at all hours of the night. The restaurant staff were very nice.

Our stay 30 june to 2nd July 2023 was in general enjoyable. The room was big, and clean, all the facilities and services worked, but the overall impression is that the Old Gin House needs a refurbish, and the photos we found before our stay were either out of date, or modified to look better that the place really was. The pool area was especially dirty and decrepit. The staff were nice, but not very welcoming, lucklily the area around the hotel, and above all the barrel house,restaurant was very nice. I woud not return there unless some work is done.

I like that I was able to get a decent breakfast. The room was untidy. We told front desk about it & they did nothing. The toilet was messy. Dirty floors. The towels were smelly. Dead insects on floor. We were not very comfortable with the mess. The hotel also needs some maintenance work. Pool can not be used. It's unkept. Sofa chairs by beach were a mess. We were just happy we had working AC, wifi & Breakfast at mornings. Everything else was trash! We won't be returning.
