positive:
Basic but very clean
You’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay in the modest yet clean accommodations. You can truly experience Bahamian life here and local hospitality will more than make up for the basic but adequate facilities.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A little overpriced
This is budget accommodation, but you might be disappointed with the standard compared to other economy options. While rooms are kept clean, the reception area is reported to be smelly and décor is dated throughout. Facilities are sufficient but you’ll need to bring your own tea, coffee and sugar.
negative:
Too far from the city centre
There are buses into Nassau city centre or it’s a half hour walk, making exploring the area inconvenient. You’ll be better off getting taxis but of course this adds extra cost.
negative:
Poky accommodations
The studios are basic and compact, which is fine for a short stay but may be unsuitable for longer holidays or family trips.
