    For a B+B, the breakfast was nothing special.

    Great location with fantastic views of the harbor. Some reviews make too much of the steps up to the property. Unless you have a lot of luggage or are in some way disabled, it is no big deal. I'm an out of shape 74 yo and had no problem with them.

    We are 2 couples in our 70s. One has breathing problems. We were unaware there were so many steps to the rooms. One had 84 steps, the other 97 steps. That's a long jaunt any time you leave and very difficult with luggage. We did have a nice young man help us with our luggage when we left. Just a note, the whole town is built on the side of a mountain, so steps are everywhere. I would suggest you read all the reviews before deciding where to stay in St. Thomas USVI

    Very friendly staff. The rooms are dated but clean.

    I will definitely say if you are old, out of shape or overweight…think wisely about your stay. I had a great time, but I know that the stairs could be difficult on people with limitations. I really can’t think of anything I disliked about the stay. I do wish there was a little bit more space in the refrigerator or even microwaves in the room. It’s a bit outdated, but at the same time if you want a resort experience, go to the resort.

    I absolutely loved the location and beauty of this hotel. It’s a very authentic island experience right in the middle of everything in Charlotte Amalie. I read a few reviews where people said that the staff was rude.. I had no such experience. I was able to meet the owner as well. They all treated us like family and made us feel welcomed. Very conversational. This is a very humble environment. If you come with your nose in the air, you will receive the treatment that was mentioned in the bad reviews.

    Breakfast was very basic. But for the price they don’t really need to include breakfast!

    Rooms are dated, but very clean. There is a lovely relaxed vibe. Location couldn’t be better. WiFi is as consistent throughout my stay. Great views and easy walk to restaurants and shopping. The hill however is quite steep and access both to the property via pedestrian walk and around the property itself includes a LOT of stairs.

    There was some fresh fruit and yogurt at breakfast but more would have been nice

    Galleon House is a comfortable hotel with excellent views over the hills and harbour, a nice pool and two great open air hang out spots (one covered breakfast area plus a second area by the pool) where you can hang out all day. The gardens interspersed around the property are stunning, there are hummingbirds and a few shy lizards, and the staff are warm and helpful.

    Be aware there are a LOT of stairs to climb to get to reception and they can be rather steep. I had a room that was converted from the portch with shared bath down the hall. Bathroom Shared with the dining area breakfast guests and other guest rooms. Also in close proximity to the diners. Fan didn’t work, light bulb’s needed to be screwed in to work. Sheets had some stains. Portch conversation to guest room was rough and the room I had was pure basic accommodation which was fine, just not fancy.

    Super friendly and helpful staff. Very affordable. Located near shops (mostly cruise ship clientele) and restaurants. Grocery store w/in walking distance. Interisland ferry dock - walking distance. On a steep hillside with beautiful views. Dining patio / reception gets a cool breeze and affords a comfortable place to relax and hang out. Nice gardens and plants along the walkways. I really enjoyed my short stay at the Galleon House in St Thomas

    The multiple flights of stairs to get up to reception and more to our room. Not very convenient with all of your luggage. Our room needed updates. It was quite run down and there were small bugs flying everywhere. They provided a small breakfast in the reception area but when we arrived later there was no fruit available. We could not locate some one to help because they were usually at the pool cleaning (which always looked great)

    There was a great view from our balcony. The pool area was kept up very nicely. There was a good restaurant available directly next door.

    There are too many stairs for some people. Breakfast consisted mostly of bagels. Providing some bread for toast would have made it much better, as well real milk for coffee.

    I just want to emphasize that this property is located high above the city. Please note, you will be carrying your luggage up approximately 3 flights of stairs. Not an issue for us but it may be to some!

    Great location! Rooms were definitely dated but in a good way. Very clean, no issues at all! Great pool!😎

    Room was described as ‘no view’ which I took to mean no panoramic harbor view, ie maybe just garden or building view. But this was an interior room with no window at all! This should be described more accurately. Walls were paper thin, the tv in the next room sounded like it was coming from our wall.

    Location near downtown, we could walk everywhere. (Be prepared for the many steps in the property) Nice terrace for breakfast and relaxing during the day, great view over the town and harbor. Front desk staff was kind and helpful.
