Pros: rooms are big, beds are on stiffer side but comfortable, pillows are comfortable, staff is overall great, located about a mile from the main warf and main bar, about 3 blocks from city center. Neutral: breakfast will always consist of: coffee, water or juice, 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 slices of toast and fruit. Cons: definitely outdated and can see staining, cracked tiles, older and wobbly furniture, just generally everything is outdated. Difficult to get ahold of via WhatsApp or through hotels.com messaging.

This is an older hotel which I happened to love. It still is very comfortable and very close to the city so one can walk to town and see all the city sights. Opposite the sea. The manger and his wife, Maliu & Masela are absolutely fantastic in every way. If something is not right and they can fix it, they will. If you would like a tour of the island Maliu is your man. He did a private day tour for me and it was so enjoyable, at my pace and he was born here so knows the island inside and out. HIs wife runs the hotel beautifully and I love the what they call "continental breakfast included". It is a full meal and brought to your table daily with smiles. All staff are wonderful. I really loved my week at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The restaurant within the hotel has great food. They have a new building being built on the southern side of the hotel so I would ask for a room on the Western side for now as it is quieter. They also provided transport to/from the airport at a charge but that was stipulated and I was happy to pay.

This place is in a great location and has so much old world charm that it could be a great hotel. But it's run down, lots of broken things, and not clean enough for most Americans.

The staff, including the restaurant are excellent. I can't say enough of the warm hospitality that was offered me throughout my 2 week stay. The hotel is well situated to lively nightime food options, walking along the waterfront, and close to town. The hotel is a little tired, but it also had its charm. Do yourself a favour and book one of the rooms facing the water - evenings on the patio taking in the ambiance are well worth the few extra $$ (versus a room with no balcony). Will definately go back to the Emerald. Thanks to the staff - wonderful!

Some of the reviews were pretty terrible so was not expecting much from this hotel. However, we had a great room, clean linen, hot water and a working tv, Aircon and kettle! Plus the breakfast was pretty good too! I was more than happy!

Staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The A/C in the room was wonderful because it was really hot outside. The room was also very spacious. The WiFi however was weak and would go on and off. There is a Chinese restaurant downstairs for convenience and other shops and downtown are within walking distance.
