The outstanding thing about this property is its restaurant. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. It is a hidden gem known only to the locals. A steady stream of them come through all day long to pick up take away.

Thank you for your review. However if you do not say you are experiencing a problem you do not give management the chance to correct it. This indicates that you were ok with the situation. Why come online after you left to complain?

We were very comfortable and the staff was very accommodating. The room was nice and cold and up to date. The lamp worked but was broken somewhat but I made it work. We were free to be us. It was nice.

Nice views.
A good location near the pier, nice views of the harbor from the upper floor apartments, and a comfortable bed. We wish there had been utensils, plates and bowls to go with the refrigerator and microwave. In addition, be ready for lots of stairs.

KPs review sea view
we stayed one night after returning from a 10 day sail. The restaurant was the best part of the Seaview hotel. The food was excellent and the service in the restaurant was good. The hotel and room are old. Our room is on the second floor with no offer to help carry our very heavy bags up two flights of stairs. Our room also faced the water, which was obstructed by trees and was not a sea view! Our room faced the road with constant noise all night long. We had a deluxe room with two twin beds, and a balcony. The beds were hard and the pillows were flat. The balcony was lovely, but the noise was not!

1 star level at best. Close to TMM base but roads are terrible to walk on especially with luggage. Room was very basic and patio furniture for balcony was in room. Booked and paid for a king bed and was told they would only have two twin beds when we checked in. Horriby overpriced for what you get compared to same price for Wyndham.

Thank you for your review as it shows us areas in which we can make our guest experiences better. For future stays with booking made ahead of time we will make sure that the patio chairs are placed on the patio. Unforeseen circumstances prevented us from putting you in a room with a King bed. I checked with the Manager on duty for your arrival and she communicated with you of the change and apologized. You could have then proceeded to check the availability at the local Wyndham but proceeded with your booking with us. Also our hotel and the Wyndham are two different hotel ratings. With taxes and fees, they are still more expensive and if you had to take a taxi to town or rent a car the expense of staying with the Wyndham rises even more. The issue of the road you will have to take that up with the BVI Government as the hotel has no control over the roads and terrible walks. We could have however, helped out by calling a taxi so that you would not have to endure a terrible walk.We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your stay with us. We give the utmost importance to our guest comments as they help us improve, and continually provide the best guest experience possible.

Staff is friendly. Room is so-so. I think they are trying to keep it clean. Much like a Motel 6. When these reviews say the TV doesn’t work, it’s because although there are TV’s, there is no TV service AT ALL (so why have TVs?). Internet is minimal. Don’t count on it. Probably would not stay here again.

Very spartan rooms. Ceiling fan blades were so warped from humidity that they drooped 8” and fan would not even spin. Room was located next to pool pump room with loud pump filter noises every 30 minutes. Staff was friendly but curt. Very obvious that there is a hotel supply issue and demand is high. No desire to maintain property amenities or extend anything beyond basic courtesy to patrons. $171 USD for a 1 night stay at this hotel was a very underwhelming experience.

Our rooms are not dirty and each room has two windows that open and close. There is one window in the room and the other in the bathroom. Upon going to the room and seeing that it was supposedly "dirty" you did come to Management to voice your displeasure with the cleanliness of the room. This implies that the room must not have been "dirty" as you stated as I do not know anyone who would stay in a dirty room. If the room was in fact "dirty" and you said something to management we could have easily corrected the problem. We like for our guest to be happy and comfortable and you did not give us an opportunity to fix your problem.

Sea View Hotel- BVI
I was staying at the Sea View Hotel for one night. I'll start with the negatives: the hotel is old and worn as was the room. The room had nowhere to sit, had a bedside lamp but no obvious place to plug it in. I eventually found a socket that it would reach in the closet. Coincidentally, that is also where I found the TV! The cable connection for the tv didn't work but I could at least use it as a monitor. The worst thing for me was the lack of a proper curtain. The room had a large window covered with a net curtain so I was woken early by the sun streaming in the window. On the positive side the staff were extremely friendly and there is a small, outdoor restaurant and bar which was inexpensive but with good, local food and great service. Location wise, it is a 5 minute stroll to the centre of Road Town. All in all, I do find hotel accommodation actually in Road Town quite sparse so choices are limited so if you need something close to the centre and don't mind a basic hotel then you could do worse than stay at the Sea View.

We only stayed one night - but the rooms were very clean, and once we turned the a/c unit on it was very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool/restaurant/bar the afternoon we arrived and then had breakfast the next morning. The food was amazing - dinner and breakfast!

Hidden gem on Tortola
This hotel is a hidden gem. Very small, comfortable, great little pool to refresh in after a long day of travel. NICEST people on earth. An added huge bonus was the Circle Cafe on the property. Outdoor seating at bar by pool and seriously amazing food. I had the mahi mahi with creole sauce (the special of the day), with mango salad and rice. Breakfast the next morning was the best omelet we have ever had. The best part was the staff of the cafe. Cordial, professional, friendly, funny......our group of 11 was sad to leave our new friends and favorite food behind. I would recommend this hotel and the Circle Cafe to everyone with confidence.

A Caribbean family owned hotel
Very plain hotel, but what I would expect in staying in a family owned facility. Our room, very clean but spartan and a great room rate!! Hotel is close to downtown Road Town, maybe a 10-15 minute walk to shops, bars, restaurants. The Circle restaurant/bar at the hotel opened in November 2016 and again, family owned with a definite Caribbean feel. Our impression was like a family owned B&B. We will recommend with the understanding it is not a resort, not a resort feeling, but a quiet, clean, spartan place for one or two nights. Try the homemade coconut bread!

An OK but not great place to stay
We stayed at the SeaView for a night before and a night after a sailboat charter out of Road Town. It was an ok place to "bunk" for the night but I would not recommend it for anything else. The rooms are clean but bare-bones. During one stay, we had no hot water and the ceiling of the room leaked during a rain shower: we woke up to a small puddle in the middle of the floor: no harm done but had my bag been a foot to the left, it would have a different matter. The young lady at the reception desk was very nice: called a cab for us when we needed one. There is a small cafe: we had a nice breakfast and a nice lunch there: simple but good. It's close to the ferry dock, so it's a short work to the town center where the restaurants are located: if you have luggage, use a taxi.
