Guest Reviews

• Susette (8/5): Prima accommodatie voor een paar dagen - Locatie: in t centrum overal dichtbij Kamer had airco Er was geen balkon/ buitenruimte
• Engeline (9/5): - Absolutely amazing service at the hotel! Everything was spotless, and the staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and always ready to help. Communication via WhatsApp was super-fast and easy, which made everything even more convenient. A special shoutout to the lovely Aruban lady who truly surprised us with a beautiful "Arubadag" celebration—such a thoughtful and unforgettable gesture! Thanks to her, we got to fully enjoy and experience this special day. Highly recommended! 🌴✨ We loved everything about our stay—truly no complaints at all!
• Clement (7/5): - L'emplacement et l'accueil Le fait de ne pas avoir de fenêtre extérieure
• Cornelia (8/5): - The service was excellent
• Sheila (8/5): Small, friendly property - The friendly, helpful staff. The cleanliness of tge property, the location suited our requirements. No lift so liftibg bags could be a problem for some.
• Robert (8/5): Inn is well used by locals, great place to stay - the air condition was not working well for the first night but barbara fixed it the following morning. She was very helpful dogs barking for part of the night was a bit of a distraction, partof urban life
• Luana (9/5): Ottima per il soggiorno di una notte! - Camera ampia e personale cortese. Posizionato nella strada parallela del lungomare, la via era un po’ sporca.
• Harris (9/5): Lovely and convenient! - Really friendly and confortable place to stay. Barbara at the front desk is a gem! It would have been helpfû if there were an elevator because some guests may struggle to carry their luggage up the stairs.
• Corinne (8/5): -
• Alessandro (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno - Posizione centrale. Camera pulita e personale disponibile.
• Brian (10/5): Great stay. Super welcoming staff. - Great location in Philipsburg. Very close to restaurants, boardwalk, and cruise terminal. Nothing
• Marcus (10/5): Alicia's Inn is a spotlessly clean and comfortable property run by lovely staff. -
• Mariana (10/5): Escala perfecta para disfrutar de la isla - El persona súper amable Tiene algunos detalles del baño por mejorar, pero solo detalles
• Jean-Louis (9/5): Very nice little inn staffed with very friendly and accommodating people. Air condition worked well, - The staff was welcoming, the room was clean and spacious and the location of the hotel was excellent. The lack of an elevator.
• Oksana (3/5): - The room and bed linen were clean. The bathroom was fine but strongly smelled of bleach. The only window in the room looks into the corridor, and the corridor windows are half a meter from a wall hung with industrial ACs. There is no oxygen in the room, no privacy as the window has gaps, the light in the corridor is on all night, and the industrial ACs are very noisy. We only stayed for one night, it would have been impossible to stay longer.
• Veronica Perrin (7/5): Was lovey i would recomend - Close to everything The lobby is on the third floor no elevator
• van de Graaf (10/5): -
• Ondrej (10/5): - Simple, comfortable and spacious room, it had all I needed. Thank you, it was a pleasure, St Maarten!
• Nancy (8/5): - Excellent location and lovely staff. Felt like family! Close to restaurants, beach, just a few blocks. The room is basic but has everything you need. Most rooms are on an upper floor. Very nice helpful people at the desk. Excellent price compared to other places, close to cruise port.
• Mary (9/5): - We arrived on Christmas—Daina so kindly prepared and served us a delicious Christmas dinner Lots of steps
• Hedwig (7/5): - Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Zentrale Lage Zimmer recht klein, für eine Nacht ausreichend, für einen längeren Aufenthalt etwas beengend
• Andres (8/5): -
• Carla (8/5): -
• JEAN CARLOS (8/5): - La limpieza del lugar, es pequeña la pieza pero acogedora. La limpieza a su vez, puede mejorar en el baño. De momento caia un chorro de agua del lado de la ventana del baño, como cuando alguien riega las matas y a veces me despertaba ese ruido.
• Regina (8/5): -
• GERALD (9/5): Very convenient place to stay before starting out on a cruise - Really friendly staff A bit noisy but understandable as it is located near the port
• Pamela (9/5): Great accommodations and friendly staff. - Excellent location in Phillipsburg. Close to the port of leaving on a cruise. Had to carry luggage up two flights of stairs.

• Claudio N (10/5): 5 estrelas - Limpeza e atendimento Se calhar alguma tomada en formato EU
• Sheryl (7/5): -
• Cathryn (9/5): Very clean, comfortable, priced well, and near ferry dock... - (This was a one-night stay as we were taking the 7:30am ferry to St Barths) Prior to our visit, all of my email communications with Alicia's Inn were answered promptly and courteously. On arrival at the Inn, we were met at the office by the most likeable, lovely lady - Barbara - that I have had the pleasure to meet in a very long time! She registered us quickly, got us set up in our room and made sure we had everything we needed, and then gave us the shortest/easiest/safest directions for walking to the ferry at 6:00 am! The room had 2 twin beds which were quite comfortable, a nice TV, a table etc. All we needed for one night! I would definitely stay there again on my way to St Barths! NOTE: Don't be alarmed by the long entryway; the building has entry/exit security. Also note, the rooms are on the second floor. There is a stairway at the end of the hall. There are restaurants nearby. We ate at The Greenhouse Restaurant by the Ferry Dock as it was open from 11am to 9pm - food was very good! (No comments)
• Gumbs (5/5): - Location Accommodations and space
• Patricia (10/5): - The staff are excellent. Very helpful. Room is very comfortable good amenities
• LUBIN (5/5): -
• wintress (10/5): - Alicia’s Inn is located at a very convenient location. Easy access to everything. Stores, shops, restaurants are all available in walking distance. Every one is friendly and welcoming and always asking if they can do anything for you. Room are nice and clean with great air conditioning which is a must. I will definitely recommend and return for my next visit.
• Ramapura (10/5): -
• Caleb (10/5): - Property has pretty comfortable beds and pillows, the place is clean and the staff is very friendly. The odd parts are that the property isn't staffed past 5PM and trying to find parking is not close or fun and (at least in July) much of the area is just closed and not busy, making for little to do around the area. I hear it's better during "high season." Property is nice, but I wouldn't personally choose this location again. It is very close to the beach though!
• Beatriz (7/5): -
• Andre (8/5): Very good -
• Anastasija (10/5): - Excellent hotel,perfect location,service extraordinary!!!we are coming back , Thank you wonderful owner and stuff members
• Andreas (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (8/5): Very affordable clean accommodation close to all parts of Great Bay. - The hotel is centrally located to shopping and the beach boardwalk. There is 24-hour secured access. Numerous restaurants are close by. No need for a car. Close to ferry to St. Bart’s.
• Helena (7/5): Good - The friendly hosts Esther and Barbara are amazing! It is in quite a noisy area in Philipsburg right next to a school.
• dimuu (8/5): A nice boutique hotel in the centre of Philipsburg - A nice boutique hotel in the centre of Philipsburg, close to everything including the Carnival Village, the beach, shops, restaurants and eating tents and a short drive to touristic Simpson Bay and Cole Bay. The room was quite spacious with dining area, microwave and small refrigerator, also hot water all the time in the shower. The staff was nice and friendly, except for one cleaning lady who didn't care to say hello nor to acknowledge you and say bye when leaving the room to tell you she's finished. She was quite rude frankly. Other than that, all other staff nice and welcoming. The only bad thing is, had to pay utilities charges at check in which was not advertised online during booking. I was under the impression that all was paid when booking. It was not a problem to pay, but the fact that this information was not provided beforehand so you knew exactly what you'd be paying.
• Deborah (8/5): Very good -
• Gwendolyn (7/5): Good - For the value Alicia's was cool and clean! Very important in the tropics. The staff was also very pleasant and helpful.
• Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sherry (8/5): Wonderful, friendly staff welcomed us to clean, air-conditioned rooms. - Great staff, clean rooms and good location. Big party in a nearby property was extremely loud until nearly midnight.
• Colleen (10/5): Excellent stay for a bargain price! - The staff was fabulous. Just one block back from the main road. AC worked perfectly. Nothing
• Orozco (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roelant (8/5): Very good - Neat basic accommodation in the centre of Philipsburg.
• Valerie (10/5): - My husband and I were very happy with Alicia's Inn - it was exactly what we needed, affordable, very clean, close to the beach, restaurants, and cruise pier (10-15 minute walk to the cruise pier). In addition, Morlene and Barbara were so very friendly and fantastic. And prior to my stay, they were prompt with answering any questions I had. Definitely would stay here again, and would highly recommend! Thank you Moreen (spellig?) and Barbara!!
• Susan (8/5): Nice stay - Very friendly staff. Large room comfy bed. Excellent air con. Full size fridge in cupboard was welcome to keep cold drinks . Would have preferred real mugs rather than waxed paper coffee cups / but presume this is in response to covid) Didn’t really understand presence of small microwave with no supporting crockery and cutlery.
• Terry (10/5): Exceptional - It’s not a luxury property, but as a reasonably priced place to lay your head at night, so you have more funds left to enjoy your days, it’s wonderful.
• Jane (8/5): Very good -
• Dream66209907659 (10/5): Thr best guest house in ST.MAARTEN - I STAYED AT ALICIA INN FOR A WEEKEND OMG IT WAS THE BEST THEY SET UP A DECORATION FOR MY DAUGHTER BIRTHDAY WHICH WAS LOVELY..WE CAME TOO ALICIA AS GUEST AND LEAVE AS FAMILY...DEFINITELY IS A SHOPPING AREA I DEFINITELY BE BACK SOON..It NEAR TO EVERYTHIN
• Martine (10/5): - Very welcoming reception staff. Simple but well equipped room (safe, fridge, coffee maker). A few minutes' drive to the cruise terminal.
• janeb711 (10/5): Good value for money at this friendly accommodation - Comfortable beds. Very clean. A lovely welcome from Barbara and Marlene. Right in the centre of Phillipsburg yet a quiet position. Very little daylight into the room but we only used it to sleep in. Good WiFi. Barbara was able to arrange a taxi to the port. Recommend the Greenhouse and Chesterfields on the waterfront for dinner.
• Suibhne_Geilt (10/5): Great little hidden gem - If you're looking for a nice, affordable place you can't do better. Alicia's is a nice, secure building with super friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms. The location is great if you want to be near the Boardwalk for an easy walk to restaurants and shopping, but don't want to be in the middle of all the noise and bustle - especially when there are several cruise ships in port.
• Carol (10/5): - We are somewhat handicapped and stairs, no elevator present a challenge. Otherwise! Sherry helped with the luggage, called for taxi, and recommended a great place to eat, the Green House.
• Leslie (9/5): Great location, clean, large comfortable accomodation with super friendly staff. - Super clean and friendly staff. No frills inn, just nice room with fridge, microwave, coffee etc. no onsite services. Great location about two blocks off the beach. Nothing
• Karen (10/5): - The location was wonderful. The staff (Barbara and Esther) were so helpful and nice. They gave us great information, especially on how to navigate the island's public bus system
• Kitsa Metaxatos (8/5): Smiling faces😊 - The girls at the desk were as sweet as can be and very helpful
• Miles (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maren (8/5): - Very nice Welcome, very friendly and helpful People, very Clean room
• Sally (9/5): Superb -
• Joel (8/5): - Guests should know that there is no elevator and most rooms are on the second floor.
• Todd (10/5): Excellent place to stay - Nice place, convenient to everything. We walked everywhere we needed to. Felt safe at this location, clean room, would visit again.
• Michael (10/5): - The women who run the Inn are amazing! Friendly, helpful, accommodating, and just a joy to interact with. They truly go above and beyond.
• Marcus (10/5): We were very comfortable at Alicia's Inn and found the staff particularly welcoming and helpful. - The room was extremely clean and the bed very comfortable. The location was very central but it was very quiet at night for a proper sleep. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
• Dave (10/5): - Our host was very accommodating, and personable.An oasis in the centre of town.
• Lynn (10/5): Nice inn - The staff was very helpful and friendly! Messages were answered quickly. We were a large group of friends - they allowed us to store our luggage while we took a tour before we boarded our cruise ship. They are on the quite side of the island. Not many restaurants open after 7PM, or before 8am
• Stephanie (10/5): - The staff member met me and stowed my luggage and then hopped in the car to assist me with parking in an unfamiliar area that was busy due to school function.
• Custodio (8/5): An " Inn" in Saint Maarten close to the Pier - Comfy Room and bed in the heart of Philipsburg No breakfast, Not even 1 little bottle of water available. Noisy early in the morning because of the School.
• 848regin (8/5): Very nice place to stay! - What a pleasure it was to stay in Alicia's Inn. The rooms are very clean and large; Barbara makes you feel at home and welcomes you with open arms. The location is central and perfect, and the beach is literally across the street. A real plus. Un grand merci !!
• Tim (9/5): Superb -
• Steford (8/5): Very good - Amazing front desk service , centrally located , and clean.
• Gill (10/5): Needed a place to stay for one night and this as perfect - Location and cleanliness Nothing to dislike
• Elizabeth (9/5): Perfect for what we were looking for! - Very comfortable, clean, well kept and decorated. Nothing fancy, but just right! I recommend this property, especially if you are going on a cruise. A little off the beaten path on the beach, but easy walk to the beach.
• William (10/5): Exceptional - This was a lovely little spot. Only a few yards from the beach / shopping area. A really pleasant and comfortable room. Barbara and other staff members all friendly and helpful. Nothing it was all super and good value for money.
• Charles (10/5): - Basic accommodation but very clean and great staff.
• Zhen Xia (10/5): - For the price, Alicia's Inn is sure great value. The front desk was very welcoming and very helpful. Located in the heart of Philipsburg and less than 5 minutes of walk from the beach, from the shopping area and great restaurants! Strongly recommend this hidden gem!
• Happiness43154706642 (10/5): Charming and economical small hotel - A wonderful, small hotel located in Phillipsburg two blocks from the beach. Run by women in the former house of an aunt. Very clean. Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Quiet, comfortable and reasonably priced. Not impressive from the outside, but modernized inside. Walk up one flight of stairs to the rooms.
• Joannecam (8/5): Great Pre-Cruise Option - Tried Alicia's Inn for a night before embarking on a cruise, primarily due to its very affordable pricing. Barbara, the woman behind the desk when we arrived, could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. She recommended great restaurants, watched our luggage after check out and before boarding the cruise, arranged for a taxi and was just lovely to talk with. The room was clean, basic but comfortable and within walking distance of pretty much everything. There is no elevator so we had to carry our bags up to the second floor but we travel light so no problem. There are rooms on the first floor so I would request one of those if you have mobility issues. Would definitely return.
• Kent (10/5): Comfortable and well priced accommodations. I highly recommend it. - Very clean, conveniently located property. Staff was amazingly helpful and efficient.
• Nancy (9/5): Superb -
• Vincent (10/5): - Thank you so very much !! 😊
• Laura (10/5): - If you are looking for a nice, clean and budget friendly place to stay, Alicia’s Inn it is! Close to all shops the beach and supermarkets. Special thanks to Barbara and Esther who were helpful and always in for a chat. Will definitely book again with Alicia’s Inn when staying on the island.
• Sharon (6/5): Suitable for a short period. Near the port and beach, secure, - -The treatment from the receptionist, she waited until we arrived, even if it was after 5pm as our plane was delayed. She was lovely and helpful. -The place is near to the beach and few minutes by car to the port (which is why we booked it). It has shops and restaurants around. -It felt secure, it has a gate and only guests and staff can open it. -quiet, you can sleep well at night -It doesn’t have a lift -mosquitos keep coming in, even with the net (after checking we couldn’t figure out how did they find their way in) -window to the inside corredor, not view outside of the building. -it looked clean but it wasn’t properly sanitised. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACCOMMODATION: As soon as people leave the beach by the sunset, almost everything closes. There are only a couple of bars/restaurants which open a little longer - even in the weekend (til 9/10pm)
• Susan (6/5): Acceptable if you need to be near the cruise port - Basic but acceptable accommodation near the cruise port. The town is rundown and it is difficult to find anywhere decent to eat dinner. The only places open were not great and closed early. Suggest a stay in Simpson Bay would be nicer for tourists.
• Marianne (8/5): I recommend this little gem in Philipsburg, close to restaurants, beach and shopping. - The nice ladies at the reception were very kind, accommodating and serviceminded. The room was clean, well furnished and made me feel at home. I really enjoyed the interior design. No elevator. And many stairs up to reception room. I would have appreciated information about this in the description of the hotel by Booking.com. Noice from outside. There was disturbing noice at night but fortunately I had earplugs. The fridge was noicy.
• Verified traveler (8/5): St. Maarten visit - Clean basic room
• Ingrid (8/5): Very good - Lovely friendly welcome from Barbara who looked after our luggage, got us an early check in and booked us a morning taxi. There was a lot of light coming in through the front window as the corridor lights were left on all night and also the light from the air conditioning unit was really bright.
