We stayed at the OGH for one week in early May. Location is good, has waterfront and about 5 min walk from the Golden Rock Dive Center and Scubaqua. The rooms are spacious and fairly clean. A few staff try to be helpful but some seem indifferent. The pool was not filled and the wifi is limited to lobby and... More

Our stay at the Gin House was part of an overall magical experience in the Caribbean. When we arrived in Statia from Ontario, Canada, we had just had what we understand is a typical WinAir experience; a slight delay, followed by several more delays, coupled with no information about flight times. As a result, we arrived in Statia under cover... More

The old Gin House is a really nice hotel on St. Eustatius. The setting is quite spectacular in the bay of Oranjestad. The breakfast area is really nice and tropical, right on the sea side and breakfast is actually quite good and included with the room price. You can cross the road and swim right in the sea. There are... More

We stayed late december for 2 weeks. Having read the other reviews we didn't expect anything exceptional. Room was fine but in need of some urgent maintenance/renovation and a good clean. Staff are fine but don't go out of their way for you. A lot of potential with right investment and management. It is however the best hotel (cleanest) on... More

On the small island of Statia you don't have a lot to choose from. The island is not on the main tourist track and has no historic tourist tradition. (Yet anyway, because there is an ambition for small-scale eco-friendly tourism.) The Old Gin House is the largest hotel. There seems to be a desire to upgrade the place and make... More

After a really short flight, 12 min from St Maarten we arrived at Statia. Because of the few taxis on the island you have to be sharp at your rate. 2 persons, 15 dollar for just a lousy ride in a no airco taxi. But because of the holiday spirit it's no biggy. We arrived at te hotel. We arrived... More

The Old Gin House is charming, has a great breakfast (included in the price of the room)and the oceanview room was very nice - with antique furniture, a decent bathroom and a balcony which oversees the water. Given some iffy reviews of the gardenview rooms I also checked those out and they were very nice too - although without a... More

Well the National Lampoon Vacation continued. We rented a very nice house, Keli Keli House on Statia, but the power went out on the island and blew the circuits in the house so we had to find a new place to stay for the night. The manager was very nice and was able to accommodate us for one night only,... More

we had a great time at the Gin House. When we arrived Walter [manager] made us feel welcome and showed us to our room. The best thing over our stay was the friendly attention from the staff and personal treatment. Walter arranged scooter rentals for us (awesome), had advice on sites to see, restaurants, and things to do on the... More

Michelle at the Golden Rock Dive Shop put togeather a dive package for us that included our diving and lodging at the Old Gin House. She was most accommodating in responding to emails and providing pre trip info. Our package included two... More
