Search hotels on Saint Helena, St Helena

Beautifully renovated historic hotel in the heart of Jamestown with the best restaurant in all of Saint Helena. Rooms comfortable with both a fan and A/C for those so inclined. The bathroom was spacious and well appointed. My room also had a small mini fridge and complimentary coffee/tea as well as a tasty turndown snack offered every evening that was well appreciated. All of the hotel staff were incredibly lovely with props to Marcia, Rejoice and Heidi for truly going above and beyond to help with local bookings, friendly tips and impeccable service. The breakfasts were delicious and the restaurant offered scrumptious meals with lots of local delicacies, produce and of course St. Helena's top quality bullseye, wahoo and tuna. Don't even bother looking elsewhere - stay at the Mantis and you'll be well sorted!

This felt like a ‘home away from home’ with everything we needed. The location is tucked up on the hill and was an ideal base for our daily hikes all over the island. We appreciated all the small touches that made us feel welcome, including the scrabble board we availed ourselves of in the evening, as we sipped unique, locally sourced artisanal gin. It helped the aching muscles after conquering ‘Jacobs Ladder’. We’ve never met such friendly but unobtrusive people anywhere, starting with the taxi driver, Colin, who the owner arranged to pick us up at the airport. He kindly took us to a supermarket to pick up supplies and orientated us to the island. Matt at the tourist information centre in town was great to talk to - would suggest going there early in the week to see the open hours of the main attractions over the coming week, so you don’t miss anything. A visit to the nearby Plantation House to see Jonathan the oldest living land creature in the world, is a must! The home is also close to the Lemon tree valley post box walk.

It was really clean very spacious and a view to die for close to Diane peak.

Lynda and Derek goes the extra mile, and beyond, to make your stay comfortable and interesting. Lynda is an excellent cook, and Derek can help you arrange excursions and will drive you all over the island. They only rent out two rooms, so you will feel like part of the family.
