Thank you for making us feel so welcomed !

When we scheduled a very last minute trip to St Kitts to look at some properties, we decided to stay in the City vs. the beach resorts. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of The Colosseum, Homer, who was extremely kind, accommodating, helpful and gracious. The little 'market' on the 1st floor was extremely convenient for anything additional that we needed. We will be spending a lot of time in St. Kitts over the next few years as my son attends Ross College and I assure you, the Colosseum will be on the top of my list to stay. I am super excited to see the continued growth and transformation of this amazing addition to the waterfront area.

Lots of pros and some cons...This guesthouse is downtown Basseterre and is above an Asian grocery with no elevator. It is on the waterfront so prepare for beautiful seaviews &sounds of the open bay. Its footsteps away from ferry terminal which can get you to Nevis easily and other affordable local transportation. The rooms are nicely furnished and clean. Showers have very hot water. While its true that the surounding neigbourhood IS a bit rough/shady, the property is very walkable to the market, supermaket and main parts of town as well as the cruise ship terminal for more restaurant options. The host is very responsive and willing to assist..just a phone call away. As a solo female traveller i highly recommend a door jam to improve your feeling of safety/privacy. Similar to other reviews I had a mix up with my room booking but the host tried his best to resolve which i truly appreciated. I would suggest to the host to have a community kitchen stovetop which allows persons to make light meals where smaller rooms dont have kitchettes. Overall I would say it's budget friendly and you cant beat the location for basseterre.
