Lovely historic facility located across from Savane Park and about a city block from the beach. Breakfast was delicious with everything we wanted. There was a slight problem with a power outage for 2-3 hours. It helps to understand/speak a little French, but staff do ok in English, so don’t let that stop you from enjoying this hotel.

The property was seasoned with seasoned outlets, but it was quaint. It was a good location to stay in the city of Fort De France. Convenient to shops, bakeries and other eating establishments. The Beach was less than a 5 minute walk.
There was no bed frame, which means the box springs were on the floor. Something one doesn't expect at a hotel.

There isnt any assistance with taxis, the elevator did not work on floor 2, the shower puddled and didnt drain, the bath was very tiny.

This gives you early 19th century French/British vibes. The decor is dated. You literally have to use a traditional key to get in your room. They did not provide us with face clothes for bathing.

Poorly maintained hotel, bathroom was full of mildew and mold on grout, very disgusting experience having to shower on a bathroom like this. My room had also no tv. Keep in mind that this area its very noisy at nights.

The shape in which this hotel is kept gives the feeling that you are staying at an abandoned house when you don’t see people around.

the location it’s great, the view from my room was nice but this hotel needs good maintenance and care to bring up the great potential it has.

The hotel had a good location very close to the port and easily walkable . The staff I came in contact with were pleasant and helpful. The room I got was very small but it was clean and the bed was comfortable and I was able to get a good rest.

The bar /lounge area downstairs was always busy with people coming in and out it seemed like a pleasant laid back vibe .
Check in is at 4pm , I wish I could have gotten the room a bit earlier but no such luck and I tried for a later checkout at 1 instead of 11 am which was a no no as well.
Overall it was a pleasant enough stay.

The door between the room and the balcony is not fully sealed allowing flying insects to come into the room at night and bitting me. I lost generally 2-3 hours of sleep per night by the noise or trying to capture them. The air conditioning was also not functional for half of my stay. Walls a quite thin allowing to hear the TV in the next room which can play until midnight, and street noise. Table to work is very small. However, there is a nice terrace on the top floor that allowed me to work during the day.

We inadvertently booked our stay on the night of Carnival. The hotel was right in the heart of all the action! We were able to walk there from the cruise terminal with our luggage without much difficulty. They let us store our luggage since we arrived before check-in time. Very good restaurant upstairs. Room was tiny but comfortable. They helped us arrange for a cab to the airport early the next morning.

The location is awesome. We came by ferry from St Lucia and the hotel was about 10 mins away, walking distance. It is located in the heart of the town and close to the beach. However, there was a lack of customer service. I needed to use their only computer and when asked for the password, I was told that the ones who have it were not there. I asked for a wake up call and I have yet to receive it. Our tour guide came to meet us at the hotel and when asked to call our room (he had our name and room number), he was told by the receptionist to simply go up and look for us. However, they did let us borrow a phone charger. Concerning the room, it was very small. The bathroom door could not open fully, it would bang on the side of the bed. The bathroom was so small it was hard for both of us to be in it at the same time. The room had no refrigerator and no safe.

Stay in Fort de France, Martinique. 3 night stay

The hotel was fine; the room was clean and the air conditioner worked well. I had issue with mosquitoes the first night. The rest of the tome was fine. The continental breakfast was pretty good. Some of the staff could be friendly or rude, but that wasn’t a big issue for me. This is Martinique so some knowledge of speaking and comprehending some French is crucial; even in Fort de France. The location was great as it is central to many sites in Fort de France, public transport and ferry terminals and so on.

We stayed for one night with our 3 children. The place is a great location for walking around Fort-de-France. The restaurant onsite is phenomenal. The downstairs bar is alfresco and very kid friendly. We sat there people watching for over 4 hours with our kids...just watching, chatting and laughing...truly wonderful, easy going hotel. The room was adequately sized for our entire family. You are within walking distance to a market, pharmacy, banks and Carrefour.

Sad, run-down hotel

While the staff was friendly, the hotel is very run-down. There was a hole in our bathroom door and plaster was falling from the ceiling. The grout was FILTHY. We only had to stay one night so it was doable. But I wouldn't recommend staying here for pleasure.

Ship cabin rooms

Rooms look like ship cabins, restaurant on street is a parisian cafe, Oasis Grill across the street is fantastic. The city can be explored in half a day and this is a great crash pad for your visit.

Historic location

This was our 2nd stay - our stay in 2017 was perfect. However this time there was some confusion at check-in and it took hours to resolve. The one major issue was that there was an obvious crazy lady who would scream at people on street from the hotel balcony but staff couldn't do anything about it because they explained to us that she was a member of the family who owned the hotel, therefore they had to let her have way, and they could not ask her to leave. For this reason alone we will not return.

Great place to land. Take taxi from airport.

Best choice for a stay in Fort de France. Old world charm. The elevator was a little scary!
The Josephine restaurant was lovely with good service, and great food!! Also enjoyed a drink downstairs at street level. Fun vibe.

Lovely hotel, spotty service

We were in Fort de France over New Year..The hotel is located right across the street from the city's main park, La Savane. On our first night, the Dec. 30, the big New Years Eve Celebration took place. It was packed with very friendly people, it was very safe and was great fun! There were delicious food concessionsand the fireworks were first class. The staff that day was extremely helpful and friendly and spoke decent English. The next day, the city was a ghost town and we could not find a place to eat for dinner and we were surprised since it was New Year's Eve. The staff that day was indifferent and did not help us at all to find a restaurant that was open. We ended up at a mediocre fast food place just before they closed. The hotel has a restaurant which is supposed to be very good, but it was not open on New Year's Eve and the lounge which usually serves some food, only served drinks that day.
But the hotel is lovely and our room was large and comfortable with a view of the park. It has a nice period quality but clean and in great condition. It is well priced and we had the breakfast opeion which is good. All in all, we would definitely recommend the hotel.

Hotel was fine - service was awful

Hotel itself was fine. Fairly central and clean/comfortable enough. The service was awful. There was nobody there to check us in and the man who finally saw to us had no idea what we wanted - just kept screaming 'what is your room number' to us in French. We came back to the hotel around midnight and nobody answered the door for ages.
We wouldn't stay here again.

Great Location and Superb Restaurant

Hotel entrance and bar a bit dated but with a lot of charm. Excellent central location in front of beautiful park. You can walk all over the old center and surrounding areas. The hotel restaurant is superb, with a delightful combination of local and French meshed-dishes.

Perfect for an unexpected extra night

Excellent! Had to book at the last minute for one flight due to a cancelled flight. The front desk was super helpful and even left us hand written notes with an update about our flight. The bed was comfortable and the bar was great.

Vintage full-service French Hotel

Was unimpressed at first, but the well-cared vintage beauty of the place changed my view. The old tropical wood stairways and finishings are cared for with obvious pride. Room is spotless and dustless, admittedly small, but with all one needs. Breakfast included everything one could ask. Did not try the dinner restaurant but looked very good. Main lobby bar very friendly, sitting under the awning with a ti-punch watching the world go by - priceless!

Hotel is old and needs improving, and cleaning.

Checked in at 9pm, restaurant was closed and we had to go out for food, staff not very helpful told us to check food caravan in the street. Rooms where not clean and very mouldy. Only spent one night as we did not feel safe or comfortable

Close to dock, only brightside

There was no wifi in my room I had to sit out in the lobby to use internet; the bathroom was humid and smelled; they advertise that staff speaks English but none of the ones I encountered did. In addition, the main doors are locked after a certain time at night, someone is supposed to open them so you can come and go as you please, but I had to bang on the door and ring the doorbell for like 5 minutes before I finally got someone's attention and then the guy, I assume night manager, went off on me in French - very rude! The main doors were still locked in the morning and I had to duck under the bar's large gated frame, which was partially opened as they were preparing to open for the day, to leave and renter my own hotel! Only bright side of this stay was that it was one night and this hotel is directly across from the dock with the ferry so I was able to walk to the pier to catch my ferry back to my island home.

Small hotel with character and charm, close to all

Arrived by ferry and walked to the hotel, really was impressed with the exterior setting opposite the park. eating out and in was convenient and tasty. The staff was extremely helpful and supportive. The beach was within walking distance and shopping was all around. Great place to holiday and even for business.

Two Independent Travelers

We rented a car and toured one end of the island to the next. Getting lost in the rual areas off the major highway was like riding a roller coaster and certainly not for the faint of heart! Leslie, with \"Beyond the Beach\" arranged a Creole cooking class in a private home that was AMAZING and a tour of the southern end of the island that gave us an opportunity to see more than the blind curves in the road. The food at Le Josephine was always satisfying. Having a functional knowledge of French would be very helpful but you can get along well enough with a book of phrases.

Town centre location but can be noisy

Checkin took 30 seconds. Hotel is near the waterfront and faces onto the town's main park out the front and onto the cathedral out the back meaning it has good access to all the main tourist areas and is within 10 minute's walk of the main shopping street (supermarkets etc). Room was well presented and came with a shared balcony, felt reasonably modern, had good air conditioning as well as tea making and had a large TV (though only a handful of the channels are in English). Floor was dirty, as my feet testified to, and the shower spits water all over the floor, but so long as you don't have an issue with a high bed and a high side wall on the bathtub/shower, the standard rooms are well presented. Be aware that the ground floor bar can be musically noisy until after midnight and that the local authority do things like tree trimming at 3 or 4am in the morning so this may not be a relaxing location, but of the two nights I stayed only the Saturday was noisy. Found that the cleaning staff either arrive too early or too late but did a good job, also found there can be confusion during checkout where some staff have better English than others (I was almost charged twice). Generally a good central hotel with reasonable speed open wifi, but possibly too noisy for some.

Decent Locations, Met our needs.

The staff at the hotel is very nice, although communicating in English was a bit difficult. Most of the staff, however, did try to understand what we were asking/needed. The location is really good for taking the ferry to Trois Iilets. Our room did not look like the room pictured, never the less, it was clean and met our needs without any extra frills. We did have daily problems with the satellite TV, but I guess that's to be expected. The only negative was the breakfast. It's not worth the 10 Euros charged per day, per person.

Confident location but noisey all night...

Great location for Carnival - on the parade route! The balcony provided a nice vantage point to see more of the fun costumes while sitting and having a little space to sit and relax since the parade goes on for hours.

The unfortunate parts of the location at Carnival were that we had to park 1.5Km away and walk our bags to the hotel because the city closed all the streets in the area before 14:00 when ew arrived and the street cleaning noise from 2am-4:30am was louder than the parade itself!
