"Bad communication between hotel and driver causing our airport driver to have to wait a couple hours for us after our flight was delayed and no one from the hotel responded to my call, texts, or email. Shows lack of respect for the driver I think. Otherwise a nice stay."

Emerson Spice Hotel

Emerson Spice Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Russell and the Emerson Soice team made us feel welcome from start to finish. A fabulous building with lots of history and in a great location in Stonetown. The rooms were all very individually themed and the bed was very comfortable. The fans and ac were welcomed for the warmer nights. The hotel private a great breakfast of fresh fruit, juice, eggs, pastries tea and coffee on the roof top tea house restaurant. Great views of Stonetown ! The Secret Garden restaurant served some lovely fresh dishes and drinks and there is live local music a couple of nights a week. Overall I’d highly recommend the Emerson Spice Hotel and thanks for a great stay (and thanks for the late checkout too)"
