Amazing! Marilyn was hospitable even before I got there! I was trying to plan a last minute trip to Antigua and a little stressed. She put me at ease and helped me out! I stayed in the dorm-like area, seven bed in one big room. I was very thankful that the room was large, there were single beds (just one... More

After a good week's stay in the dorm, it's really great to hear that you'll be looking to come & stay again. You sound to have enjoyed the dorm being spacious with good bathroom facilities & air conditioning. Also that it was only a few minutes to get to all the amenities. So looking forward to seeing you next time... More

I stayed here in February the night before joining a yacht to sail across the Atlantic. I had been travelling for almost two days solid from Australia and was shattered when I arrived at the Anchorage Rooms. I stayed in the dorm room, which was surprisingly nice. Large, clean bathroom and nice light dorm room. I was only sharing with... More

It's good to know that you felt you'd come away very happy from staying in the cheapest room in English Harbour. We try to accommodate the individual needs of each guest & seeing how exhausted you were on arrival from long haul travel, I'm delighted that the new dorm ticked all your boxes. More

I was here for classic race week. Lovely host Marilyn, very clean and comfortable rooms. Location a bit noisy due to local night life, but also means you are right in the center of all the action! Nothing good ear plugs won't solve :) Excellent value.

The central location in English Harbour is very welcome to many guests unaccustomed to the heat of the tropics. To be able to pop back in a few minutes to your room for a shower or a rest is very helpful. You clearly liked the location as well as the standard we aim to keep with clean & comfortable rooms....

I stayed for 4 nights at the Anchorage with my daughter. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. The owner Marilyn was very helpful friendly. The location is great for sailors and tourists alike as it is on the bus route and near Pigeon Beach. The music from the nearby rasta shack kept us awake only on the... More

The other reviews are correct. The place is absolutely spotless. The location is more than what you could ask for, and virtually next door to Nelson's Dockyard, as well as a few minutes' walk from the beach and some very nice hiking. There was no need for air conditioning--ceiling fans and the climate made for very comfortable conditions. Marilyn is... More

The Anchorage Rooms are located in the English Harbour area, which seems to be an up and coming district on Antigua, with lots of great restaurants and entertainment within a couple of minutes walking distance from the hostel. We stayed for 4 nights and really enjoyed our visit. There aren't many amenities on site, just a restaurant open for breakfast,... More

For you to have given such a comprehensive review I hope will be most helpful to other travelers. Also to mention twice that 'We are probably the best value you will find on Antigua" is good to hear as our commitment is to provide comfortable, clean accommodation in a central international location at a budget price.

These simple, spotlessly clean rooms are an excellent choice for budget minded travelers. It is not a resort. There is no pool, air conditioning or wrist bands. But it is walking distance from Nelson's dockyard, several good restaurants, and a beach popular with local families. The Anchorage meant my needs perfectly. I was joining a crew to sail to the...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
"Anchorage Rooms" are a great spot at a great price! Our commitment is to renting clean, comfortable & good value for money accommodation in either private en suite twin or double rooms or an air conditioned 7 bed mixed dormitory. Free WiFi is available throughout "The Anchorage" in the rooms or out on the terraces. Dining options range from breakfast currently available from 0730 with a host of other catering options available very near by, Security cameras are on site, office safe for valuables & luggage facilities.Set in a prime central location between the 2 main harbours,English & Falmouth Harbours,Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour & Yacht Club Marina in Falmouth Harbour are both short walks away as are the majority of amenities. Cafes, bars, shops & restaurants are in abundance in the vicinity of "The Anchorage". And that's not to forget the rather pleasant Pigeon Beach which is a comfortable 5 - 10 minute walk away.Transportation options are also in the very close proximity. Bus connections lie just by "The Anchorage" entrance. Buses can take you to most other parts of Antigua. There's also a variety of car or scooter rental options close by. Great relations with local taxis make all airport transfers very straightforward whatever time of day.Antigua is a magnet for sailing in the Caribbean & from December to May English & Falmouth Harbours can be busy places! "The Anchorage" is central to the bars & restaurants which make English & Falmouth Harbours the lively places they can be. So while this makes the location an extremely convenient one, it also means "The Anchorage" shares in some of the atmosphere! As one might expect, Friday & Saturday nights can be a little more lively &, it being the Caribbean, there is a neighborhood club with a license to play outdoor music until 0300. Now, while we feel that the vast majority of our guests enjoy the atmosphere on these & every night, we feel it is important to set the scene as best we can! We also feel our price takes into consideration this & of course all other aspects. ... more   less
