Green Roof Inn

Pros: Walkable to and from town (~15 min) or easy to catch the local bus. Great view from the 2nd floor balcony restaurant. Dining was a positive experience with variety of dishes. The continental breakfast was better than most. Cons: Not located on a beach front and not near shops or other restaurants. No screens on the bedroom windows made for a miserable mosquito experience. No air conditioning throughout. Toilet was a port-a-potty style and stank after 2 days. Other rooms had screens, we were told. It is lovely on the outside and very tranquil setup with extra patio seating, books and hammocks, but if you want to be comfortable and walking distance from the beach, look elsewhere.

The hotel has a lot of charm and character. The views from the second-floor room and the restaurant are captivating. Dinners were absolutely delicious; and there were fresh grapefruits from the garden for breakfast every morning!

The Swedish owners, Jonas and Asa, were there with their two young sons, which made the experience a warm family affair and made our stay feel more like a house party than an hotel. The buffet style breakfasts together with our fellow guests each morning on the first floor terrace were a great experience and it was interesting to meet visitors from all round the world. Unfortunately on arrival we were not shown to the accommodation we had booked and Jonas admitted that he had made a mistake. It would have been nice to have been offered some compensation, for example, a complimentary dinner, as we had booked the self catering cottage and had to spend two nights in the other cottage which involved us in extra expenditure on meals out. Apart from that we were very happy at the Green Roof Inn, the style and furnishings are a lovely simple mixture of local and Swedish design. The staff are friendly and helpful and respond quickly to requests, for example for extra pillows. The gardens are lovely with a large lawned area leading down to the sea. It is possible to swim from the property with a small beach area exposed at low tide. The cottage with kitchenette is delightful having a lovely veranda with views over the sea. The shower is a bit quirky, it is a 13 amp electric shower which cuts out when the water pump kicks in leading to an intermittent hot/cold shower. The hotel is about a ten minutes walk from the town of Hillsborough and on the number 11 bus route.

wonderful

Wow, wonderful, our Family was so impressed with Green Roof Inn.We were a Party of 9, we felt Welcomed and at Home.Beautiful Rooms, Stunning View,Lovely Garden, Perfect Introduction to Paradise.Carol and Susan were Warm and their beautiful Smiles, warmed our Hearts.

I had a really lovely stay at Green Roof Inn and the staff were great. A really relaxing guesthouse to stay at, beautiful with lots of flowers and shell placed around the place. Lovely!

Great hotel, beautiful location, and the breakfast while overlooking the ocean was fantastic. The room did not have AC however, and was very hot during my stay in June.

Very quiet, employees nice but not talkative when asked about things we would be interested in as tourists. The water access is marginal at best. No beach, rocky entrance to coral and sand with waves breaking. If the restaurant is open in the evening we highly recommend the lobster. It is worth the price! Seems like the whole island is closed or open randomly including this restaurant. Overall this is a nice little place, but don't expect too much. If you want more, pay more somewhere else.

This is a simple, lazy hotel. No beach, no television, no A/C. It is right on the water with great shared spaces. It is walking distance to town and on the bus route servicing Windward beach. The staff was great for the most part. Restaurant on site is limited and inconsistent. In two days I had one great breakfast and one great dinner but then I was disappointed by the other breakfast and dinner. It is a small hotel so there was a nice sense of community among many of the guests. I spoke to some people at the hotel and others when we saw each other around town. Overall, it was a quiet, beautiful place to relax for a few days and I look forward to my next visit.

This cottage was remote and lovely. Great sunsets at night. Can walk into town. Very friendly staff. The restaurant is excellent.
