Great New Year's Eve stay

One night (New Years Eve) in Belize City, prior to return to the US. Staff was great, room had been newly-renovated and was very comfortable. Nice restaurants within walking distance.
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were wonderful. My room was large and airy, clean and well appointed (although a microwave in room would help given limited dining options in walking distance). Lots of pillows!

SWEET HISTORICAL STAY

love this hotel for overnight travel...shower was very weak especially in am so had to bathe
Deborah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed here one night prior to leaving for the airport the next morning. Its a good and safe option for this, and its very close to the ferry terminal. Despite stories of Belize City being dangerous, the area around The Great House Inn is safe, even at night. There are a couple restaurant options very close by. Rooms are large, and have an old British feel to them, though not very modern. I would stay here again if it was for a night.
Joseph, 1-night trip

Classic go to

They renovated their rooms and have extremely comfy beds!!! It's a classic from Belize I highly recommend. The only thing is they dont have an elevator so be mindful of bags and stairs.
Claudia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

No fault if their's but a building site opposite didnt make for peaceful time. we loved the spacious room and mahogany floors and old world charm.
Moira, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The,communication pre arrival was very good. One of the rooms larger more updated but both comfortable. Balacony seating nice to have. Lovely view of water. Toombad so many higher places being built but should be good view for next year or so. Appreciated the allowance of late check out to accommodate our excursion schedule.
